Single Events
Christine’s presentation sharing her story is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes.* This can be followed by questions and answers if desired. The presentation can also be followed by Adoration or social time to make a nice event lasting a couple of hours. This works out very well, especially for stand alone evening events.
The presentation of Christine’s story can also be divided into 2 or 3 parts if desired. This works well for a morning or afternoon half day event or mini retreat. For the 2 part option, the 1st presentation would be approximately 45 minutes, and the 2nd would be about 35 minutes. For the 3 part option, the 1st presentation would be about 25 minutes, the 2nd about 20 minutes, and the 3rd about 35 minutes.
The charge for any of the 3 options above is $350.**
Parish Missions or Retreats
Christine now offers 2 Parish Missions or Day Retreats:
The 1st is titled: SET FREE with the 1st night being Christine's Story and the 2nd night being on Forgiveness.
The 2nd is titled: RENEWAL OF THE HEART with the 1st night being Christine's Story and the 2nd night being on Personal Relationship with God.
If you would like to have a 3 night Mission or longer Retreat, all 3 talks could be incorporated.
Pricing would be $350 for the 1st night and $300 each for the 2nd and 3rd nights/talks.
Additional Speakers
For additional speakers, Christine’s husband and/or son, Seth, could also speak, sharing their personal experiences and faith journey through the tragedy and suffering. If desired, they could be part of a retreat, parish mission, or single evening event. The charge is $300 for each additional speaker.
Seth also has a gift sharing with youth. If desired, you could plan an extra time after his talk, where he could have some fun with the youth (middle school through college age), sharing his music and music videos with them, while also candidly sharing his faith. This would be an additional $200.
Travel Expenses
Christine also asks for travel expenses ($0.25/mile) to be covered if your event is more than an hour away from Grand Rapids, Michigan, as well as overnight accommodations if necessary. If this is difficult for your group to provide, she accepts freewill offerings to be taken up during the event in order to help offset any travel expenses incurred.
* Initially, some groups have expressed concern about Christine’s story presentation being too long to keep people engaged, but after hearing her speak, they felt differently. Please be assured that it is a relatable, emotional, and challenging story which is very engaging. All the feedback received is that it didn’t feel long at all, that the time flew by and audiences could have easily listened even longer.
** Regarding fees, if you are interested in hosting an event but money is an issue, please don’t hesitate to contact Christine personally, so that other arrangements can be made. This is a message she strongly believes God wants her to share and, if at all possible, does not want money to stand in the way.
