about the founder
Melvin High Sr. was born April 16, 1929 and married Sept. 25, 1948 to his wife Anna K Zook-High. They arrived on the Mission Field in Mexico on January 7th of 1963, after traveling 2000 miles with 9 little missionaries, $6 in his pocket and a tank full of gas in an old rundown 1954 Ford Station Wagon with all his family's belongings in tow in a one-wheel trailer, and a faith that could move mountains.
Melvin had an 8th grade education, customary in the Mennonite/Amish faith, and went through the school of hard knocks. He later went on to earn his GED and three Doctorate Degrees.
God gave Melvin the gift of the Spanish Language after depending on an interpreter for a long time. He now teaches the Spanish language to others.
April 16, 2022, Melvin celebrated his 93rd birthday. Still going strong preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
