Summary

As a recent graduate from Samford University with a heart for helping people and serving God, Melanie didn't think that a mission trip to South Africa would change her life forever. But when she returned to the United States, she kept feeling like she was specifically called to return to South Africa. Her family wasn't so sure, but she believed in God's purpose for her life. Hear the story of how she met her husband and together they trusted in the Lord and launched an art studio and community outreach program on this edition of Rick & Bubba University.
