Melonie Gunderman

Melonie has been a follower of Jesus for about 40 years and loves the Lord, her husband of 19 years, and her 4 beautiful children. God has used unique experiences in Melonie’s life such as growing their family through adoption and living for a season in India to strengthen and grow her faith.

Jordan Bowie

Jordan graduated from the nursing program at Georgia college this past May and during her college career was on the tennis team. Being a part of the team, Jordan got the chance to talk to several international students who had never heard the Gospel before. She was able to be a part of God’s salvation story in their lives through sharing the Gospel, reading The Word with them, walking alongside them in discipleship and baptism, and then watching them do the same for others. In this season, Jordan has been able to experience a lot of rest after a busy few years in school and spends her time teaching tennis lessons to kids and adults, enjoying the outdoors, and getting to hang out with new and old friends
