Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 1753

Tonight's special guest is Christine Ashley from Elyria, Ohio, a child abuse survivor who was abandoned at an early age, thrust into foster care and eventually adopted. The emotional, physical, sexual and spiritual abuse that followed was unspeakable. As a survivor of a brain aneurism, stroke, and back surgery, which temporarily left her wheel chair bound, she now empowers others to stand on God’s Word to overcome life’s obstacles. Christine Ashley is a walking testimony of God's greatness and healing power. Her greatest desire as a wounded healer and founder of Soul Warriors is to bring freedom to others by exposing the lies hidden in our minds and hearts that create inner conflict and keep us shackled in a false reality, and to reveal truth. A former Northeast U.S. Professional Kickboxing Champion, she now fights behind enemy lines for God's Kingdom. The once military and civilian police officer now motivates and encourages others to walk by faith through the transparent delivery of her testimony. Her work with the orphaned, in street ministry with the homeless, and with inmates in prison shows her compassion for the lost and broken of our world. Christine is a missionary who spearheaded a team to foster aide in the Oklahoma City devastation. Writer and author of the autobiography “Splintered” and soon to be released “Daughter of Destiny”, Christine is also a scribe of poetry and author of “Moments on the Mountain” poetic CD. Christine is the face and coordinator of Media/Public Relations for Grace of God Recovery Resources to bridge the gaps in our recovery system for addicts. She is a member of the Purple Project and seeks to help foster children to overcome and find their true identity.
