Evangelist Melissa Richardson is the author of “Broken but Not Shattered”, “The Lost Art of Discipleship”, and “Big Sexy Sanctified Hoochinomics for the Voluptuous Woman. After dedicating her life to Christ Melissa began ministering in the church nursery and currently works with children’s ministry. Her ministry to children evolved into teaching “Fundamentals of the Faith” to “Visions” group home for boys and eventually adult Sunday school. In 2008 Evangelist Richardson entered into her call and preached her first sermon which became her launching pad in preaching and teaching the gospel. In 2010 she launched Shaping Lives Ministries; an outreach geared to meet and minister to the needs of the people. Some outreaches were free clothing, food, school supplies and a Mega Fun Fest which involved children from different avenues ministering the word of God in song, dance and drama. She has become a source of encouragement and inspiration for many women.
