Pastor Dean and Mrs. Georgia Melton: Their reputation proceeds them...
Loves God; loves his wife and family; never met a stranger; loves people; shepherd; motivator - sometimes instigator; pillar; faithful; apostle, prophet, pastor and teacher; anointed man of God. These phrases only begin to describe our pastor. He is so much more than this…
When asked around the church for words that described him, the answers we got were loyal, committed, good for his word, fun loving, and most of all a hard worker.
Dr. Dean Melton was born in 1945 and has been married for 45 years to Mrs. Georgia. They have 2 children, Wanda and Ronnie, and 1 grandson, Justin. They have also adopted a couple sons along the way, Kelly and Dustin.
His heart is for pastors of small churches. In the last 20 years, he has put such ambition and energy into fellowshipping and strengthening fellow pastors and leadership. Freedom Christian Center has gone from our main church to a fellowship of several churches and Bible Colleges in the US, Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua and Jamaica.
He teaches and holds fast to the conviction that the Word of God works and will work wherever people will grab hold of it and work it. We have had testimonies of the dead raised, the sick healed and even food growing in volcanic ash on the island of Ometepe, Nicaragua.
They wear many hats and have touched lives all over the world. Young and old alike have had a life transformation through their efforts over the last 20 years as they have developed Ambassadors to the Nations, our missions program. Hard work and perseverance have brought Pastor Darey and Pastor Karen Jolley’s dream to ask for the nations to pass. The Word says we often faint before we reap our promises and inheritance. This can’t be said of our missions directors. Ambassadors to the Nations was birthed in 1992 with a couple churches in Mexico and has grown into a well known and respected ministry.
From car washes and BBQ dinners, they stand out in the minds of many youth for their relentless drive to raise money for mission trips so our young people can have the life changing experiences of touching people’s lives all over the world.
It isn’t just all glamour of passing out food and gifts however. There are mission classes, Spanish classes, and hands-on workshops so that the teams they take out are well advised and equipped for the work to be done. Toys, food, bibles, clothes and school supplies must be purchased, sorted and organized, packed and shipped before they ever get to foreign soil.
There are full time workers and missionaries that help with the process from start to finish under the anointed direction of our associate pastors. The knowledge and experience they bring to the table to share reflects the many years they have been doing this work for God and He has truly blessed them to be able to travel with Brother Andrew Wommack all over the country promoting the missions program now.
They have been married since April of 1985 and have one daughter, Lisa who is married to BJ and 2 beautiful grandchildren, Ava and Judah.
