JEFF EENIGENBURG, DIRECTOR OF CAMPUS WORSHIP, BRYAN COLLEGE
"Our campus was deeply challenged and encouraged by Christa as she shared her story and her expertise on the subject of human trafficking. Her honest talk about the realities of human trafficking and her first-hand experience as a survivor gave us fresh insights and fresh motivation to fight against the deplorable situations that fuel all forms of slavery in our world. We walked away with a burden to take action, to love and protect the vulnerable, and to trust God's power to overcome any form of darkness."
PREVENTION
LISA, GUARDIEN-AD-LITEM VOLUNTEER
"We were incredibly honored to have Christa come speak at a local foster care group home in 2016. Her stories of childhood abuse were unfortunately all too familiar with these girls, but she spoke at a level that was relatable to them and with an understanding of the emotions her story brought up. She was able to give practical examples of healthy relationships vs. abusive ones, encouragement and advice on how she overcame obstacles in her life, and even held an interactive discussion on the warning signs of trafficking. She stayed for an hour after to talk one on one with the girls. We are grateful that Christa took the time to spend with these kids, and would have her speak again anytime!"
