Guest

Cristina Baker

Cristina Baker is an author and speaker, and her passion is to see people come to know the love and friendship that is found in Jesus Christ through the fellowship with the Holy Spirit. After a ten year battle with drug ad diction, Cristina had a radical encounter with the love and power of God and immediately answered the call on her life to minister the gospel. Cristina and her husband, Ryan, are founders of Power of Hope Ministries, which exists to preach the gospel, share the love of Christ, and teach the power of prayer to bring hope to people of all walks of life. Through media, social media, and itinerant ministry, Cristina’s and Ryan’s hearts are to serve people, teach sound biblical doctrine, and inspire others to search God’s heart through His Word and learn to love the Word of God. Their desire is to fulfill the Great Commission, serve others, and extend the love of God toward people who feel hopeless, rejected, and lost, so that they may find hope in Christ and know they are deeply loved and known by God. Cristina, Ryan, and their son, Evan, live in Dallas, Texas, with their three dogs.
