It is the intentional process of being shaped into the image of Jesus Christ. It looks at your internal spiritual life—your prayer habits, how you read the Bible, your view of God, and hidden sins or doubts. This process will help you draw closer to Jesus so that the Holy Spirit can help you grow into the person you were created to be.
Additionally it focuses on deep strongholds that have affected your habits, behavior, and relationships negatively. It helps you get from where you are today to where you want to be through your personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
We all struggle at times with emotional or spiritual pain and God is the only one that can truly change us from the inside out. During these times of struggling with God or our own humanity it helps to have someone to walk alongside you. HOPE ministry is here to support, guide and encourage through this growth and healing.
The bible itself highlights this unique relationship in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10a NLT
"Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. For if one person falls, the other can reach out and help."
I have been meeting with Melinda for over seven years. Words don’t even describe how valuable she has been in my life and my walk with God. She has brought Godly perspective into every challenge I have gone through. I can’t recommend her enough. If you take her valuable advice and do the work that she recommends, you will see such rewarding results. She has been and always will be one of the biggest blessings in my life .

Meeting Melinda for the first time and connecting with her, was one of the most God lead experiences of my life. I was praying for the type of connection that we were able to make. As I went through one of the most difficult times of my life, I was relieved more and more with each session. God used Melinda through prayer and council that would impact my life forever. I grew stronger each time we met, and I was able to cope with the situation at hand. Every meeting was prayer filled and blessed! I would highly recommend Melinda Watts for this ministry.

Melinda has been such a blessing in my life. I truly believe I would not be the woman I am today without her guidance, encouragement, and support over the years. She has had such a profound impact on my life, and I will always be grateful for the role she has played in helping me grow, both personally and in my walk with God.
My relationship with God is stronger today because of Melinda and the wisdom and encouragement she has shared with me throughout the years.
I am so thankful that God brought her into my life, and I am truly looking forward to working with her again through her new ministry. I know that God has amazing plans for her, and I am excited to see where He leads her next. She is the best ❤

Melinda counseled me for many years using biblical principles. My time with her was priceless to my life journey. Of course, I did not know that at the time. I was troubled about so many things. My marriage was on the brink of divorce several times, I was in a battle of wills with my young son, and I was stuck in worldly addictions among many other issues. In our sessions, Melinda always opened in prayer, had her bible open, counseled me with the word of God and then she closed our session in prayer. I've seen many different counselors in my lifetime but my time with Melinda was the most productive and life changing. I was changed because she was devoted to counseling by the word of God. She has the gift of counseling, and I am forever grateful to have received it.
