What happens when someone whose life has been shattered by trauma and addiction encounters the transformative power of faith? Christina's testimony will take you on an extraordinary journey from the depths of brokenness to profound purpose.
Raised by a mother caught in prostitution and drug addiction, Christina was forced to become a caretaker at age seven when her mother abandoned her and her siblings. This early responsibility fostered survival instincts that would prove crucial later in life, though her path first led through the darkness of gang involvement, drug dealing, heroin addiction, and dangerous criminal activities.
The turning point came unexpectedly when someone who had recently found faith boldly called Christina out of a trap house, telling her Jesus had a plan for her life. Though she had no religious background, this encounter led her to a women's outreach program where her transformation began—a journey that would take three attempts to complete.
Christina shares a powerful metaphor that perfectly captures the limited perspective of those trapped in brokenness: like looking through fragments of a shattered mirror, we can only see pieces of ourselves, never the whole picture. This limited vision keeps many trapped in destructive cycles, unable to recognize their true identity or potential.
Today, Christina ministers in prisons weekly, teaching "Breaking Free" and "Overcomers" classes. She regularly serves homeless communities, bringing hundreds of sandwiches and essential supplies to those living in encampments. Her upcoming book, "Masterpiece of Broken Pieces," will detail her journey from addiction and rejection to wholeness.
The most inspiring aspect of Christina's story is her refusal to remain trapped in a victim mentality despite experiencing severe childhood trauma. Instead, she embodies the "beauty for ashes" exchange described in Scripture—her past transformed into a testimony that helps others find freedom from their own brokenness. As she powerfully states, "When everyone else walks out of your life, God walks in."
