Christina’s Story

I was born in August 1974 and was raised in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois. At four years old, I began a relationship with Christ that was nurtured by the support and teaching of my parents and my church, First Baptist of Wheaton. It was during a church mission conference that God stirred my heart with the hopelessness of people who had no gospel witness. I felt called to pursue an involvement in missions, and in 1993 spent the summer in Papua New Guinea learning about tribal evangelism and church planting. I returned home to enroll at New Tribes Bible Institute…where I met Bill!
