For years, Christina Custodio found herself living out who she wanted others to think she was. As she grew into adulthood, she found that practice to be exhausting and looked for a place of rest. She found it by living out loud.. She has chosen to no longer hide or apologize for the woman God created her to be. She connects to others by using her gift of transparency and authenticity. Christina has learned that all any of us can be is the very best version of who God has created us to be. Each one of us has been called for a purpose. We can only do it the way we do it. Others’ objection to the person God has created us to be is none of our business.

Join us as we petition God on behalf of our public school students and the Released-Time Christian Education ministry.

 

We believe this great movement of God will help our young people exercise their shield of faith and become a generation of warriors for Christ to spiritually impact their mission field – our county schools.
