Our Testimony
CHANGEministry is a ministry run by families – for families! In short, our testimony is that while raised in the church, the church was not always in them. It wasn't until we had personal encounters with the mercy and grace of Christ, that we surrendered our hearts to trust in His saving love! With over 23 years of friendship, marriage, and three children together, we are living proof of the difference Love makes. In God's Marriage Math: Chris + T = ChrisT
