KEYNOTE SPEAKER

*Emily Lee, Sardis Fellowship Church -- "Christine Lindsay is a gifted communicator. She has a warm, sincere spirit and an inspirational story to tell."*
I used to be a woman drowning in despair. I would look at the picture like this one of the little girl running away, and the loss of the child I gave up for adoption would well up within me all over again.

Now I look at this picture and see myself running with joy into the arms of my Father.

My journey to joy was not an easy or natural one. From the time I gave up my baby to adoption in 1979, to the uneasy and heart-rending reunion with my birth-daughter in 1999, and the following years as I shook my fist in my Creator's face, I struggled. 

Let's face it: Emotional pain cripples.
But God eventually turned my heartache, bitterness, and chronic sadness into peace, contentment, joy, and confidence, and He did so by using my own story as a mother to help me understand the enduring love He has for me.

I first told my story at church in 1999, and have been involved in a growing speaking ministry, and multi-award-winning writing career, since that time.

All of the following topics can be spread over a weekend at your church, camp, or conference, or any one of the topics at a single presentation. I am adept at fitting the topics for a variety of audiences. 
Pro-life fundraisers are especially dear to my heart, using Topic # 1 MOTHERHOOD: A Unique Path to the Father 

*Anne Heppell, former missionary to Bolivia -- "I heard Christine Lindsay share her moving life story at a ladies event several years ago. I will always remember what she said that day because she anchored her story in scripture. I will never forget the way she humbly shared that the Lord's love for us is so great that we are engraved on the palm of his hand!"*
