In Loving Memory of Our Founder,
Melissa D. Brown
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." – 2 Timothy 4:7
With heavy hearts, we share the sorrowful news that our beloved founder, Melissa Brown, has gone home to be with the Lord. This loss leaves us grieving, yet we find comfort in knowing that Melissa now rests in the arms of her Savior, Jesus Christ.
Melissa’s unwavering faith was the foundation of her life and her work. She built Bridle of Hope as a place of healing, renewal, and restoration. She believed in the power of redemption and poured her heart into this ministry so that others might know the hope that is found in Him.
Though our hearts are broken, we do not grieve as those without hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13). We trust in the promise of eternal life and take solace in knowing that Melissa is now with her Lord and Savior - renewed and restored. Her legacy of faith, love, and service will continue in those she inspired.
We invite you to join us in prayer for her family, friends, and all who were blessed by her presence. May the Lord’s peace surround us all in this time of sorrow, and may we honor Melissa’s memory by walking in faith and love, just as she did.
With love and hope in Christ,
The Bridle of Hope Team
