Melinda Whited
Melinda was born and raised in Tennessee. She became a Christian during her elementary years. She felt a specific call to missions when she was in high school. When she was 19, she married Dano, her high school sweetheart, and they will be celebrating their 29th anniversary this November. Melinda finished her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Elementary Education. She taught 1st grade for 4 years and one year of 5th grade in Florida. Then they moved to Texas. After 13 years as a Navy wife, Melinda along with Dano made the transition into full-time mission aviation work. At that time, they had 3 kids ages 3 and under. They served in Ohio and North Carolina and eventually in Southeast Asia, where they are still serving. God continued to bless them resulting in a total of 7 children. Melinda stays busy homeschooling most of their children, taking care of her family in a developing country, and listening to audiobooks.
