Christel has been married to Rich for 25 years and is the mother of three wonderful daughters. She has loved being a wife and mother and feels that it is bittersweet that her girls are growing up and preparing to move out of the house. She is looking forward to the next chapter of her life with her husband, waiting on what the Lord has planned for them.
Music was a huge part of Christel's life growing up. Being from a very large family, there was always music being played in the home. Her favorite however, was hearing her mom sing and play the guitar. She and her sisters sang solos, duets and trios in the church growing up and still to this day love to get together to sing. Christel, along with Rich and their girls, has been in the church choir for many years and consider it such a privilege to become “one voice” singing for the Lord. In 2009, Rich, Christel and their daughter Moriah traveled with the church choir to the Czech Republic. This was a definite life-changing event! She and Rich are feeling that the Lord is leading them to missions and are trying to be patient and wait on the Lord to lead them to what He has planned for them.
Christel received Christ as her Savior at a very young age but, struggling with low self-esteem and feeling unlovable, it wasn’t until later in life she came to understand God's never-ending love for her. Because of this, Christel’s desire is to help others understand that they are valuable and are a treasure to Christ.
During her free time Christel enjoys golf, anything “artsy” (painting, making jewelry, etc.), cooking, camping, dirt biking and time with family and friends.
Please pray for Christel that she will be a light to the people she comes in contact with. Please also pray that she will be a help to the Josiah Venture team and that she will be an encourager to the entire team.
