Author: Christina Blount

In this world of over 7 Billion people, it's my hope nobody should ever feel alone. I'm proud to share in the Hope Shack project and support organizations that encourage and bring hope to those that are recovering from the storms that life throws at us. - Christina ******* Christina Blount is a trailblazer and bridge-builder, a natural result of her 20-year military career. She now works by referral only, providing private and personalized support to artists, authors and speakers. Christina is passionate about bringing the mission of a ministry together with the needs of a community by managing projects, coordinating logistics, and nurturing relationships. Her efforts have contributed to successful nationwide speaking/concert tours, specialized fundraising events, and global online communities. She was selected to organize a Presidential visit for George W. Bush, and partnered with Google on the launch of Google Hangouts and Google+ Communities. Her work during the global pandemic has raised over $1.5 million dollars to fund rescue and recovery ministries, and brought a message of hope to over 15,000 attendees via virtual and socially-distanced live events. - Driven and passionate, Christina is actively involved in mission-focused care ministries. She facilitates Grief, Divorce, and Recovery workshops, mentors women in long-term recovery centers, and is a national conduit between rescue organizations. She currently leads the Hope Shack project, an online resource for individuals seeking support, organizations providing it, and those with a message to share. - Originally from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Christina now makes her home in St Paul, Minnesota with her daughter Lara and a beagle named Pickles. Find them out exploring trails along the North Shore of Lake Superior or traversing the northern Canadian boundary waters of Minnesota. When a rare quiet evening finally appears, she'll be home in front of the fire with her family, a good book and pile of knitting.

No One is Forgotten.

August 10, 2016

“When I was ashamed, God showed me I was worthy. When I was dead inside, God revived me. He didn’t just leave once He fixed me, and He didn’t just show up because I was broken. He had been there since the beginning, always wanting more for me but just waiting for me to say yes to all He had in store.” … More No One is Forgotten.

Please I don’t know what to do.” I cried for hours because God revealed my sin but instantly it was a dark to light moment. I had felt literally the biggest hug come around me as I was up against my futon in my room on my knees. ” … More Taste it. See it. Enjoy it.
