Chris and Christina are our base leaders. They are in their second year of marriage. Their first year was spent here in Jeffrey’s Bay living with 12 college students-amazing and selfless. Christina has been leading AIM trips for about 7 years. She has become a woman I respect dearly. She knows how to connect with the students and pour into them. I have learned so much from her. Chris has been a pastor and youth pastor the past few years. Beacause of Chris’ gifts in speaking he’s made some great connections here in J-Bay and been able to speak at many different functions. They both bring an anormous amount of fun energy to our team.
God had big plans when He put these two together. Chris has a heart to reach the rich and Christina has a heart to reach the poor for Christ. So many times we have heard “the rich” ask us do we really have so much need in J-Bay that 20 Americans need to come? As they say this we look over at the townships with no running water, no electricity, aids running wild and no hope. It’s a beautiful thing to see how God has used Chris and Christina to bring the two together. They have formed new relationships between the two social classes, built playgrounds and most importantl have pointed many to the cross. We are more than thankful to be directed by them in our first year on the mission field.
