The Lord's anointing on Christina is powerful. Her audiences are moved by the messages she brings. Her desire is to communicate Christ's love for this hurting world and express his desire to have an intimate relationship with them. This skilled singer utilizes her beautiful and seemingly effortless control, large range and various other vocal techniques as well as presentation techniques to convey the meaning of each song to its fullest. God has used Christina as a vessel for the Holy Spirit to touch many hearts and motivate change in the lives of her listeners. Voice Teacher Christina has taught since 1998 specializing in Contemporary Christian artists. She loves to combine the excellence of correct vocal technique with the ability to teach others how to communicate Christ's love for the world through their presentation. She helps her students increase their vocal range, develop correct breath control, put an end to sore throats, strengthen vocal stamina, learn to read music, acquire an ear for pitches and rhythms, improve diction, self-maintenance, the importance of appearance, and how to communicate the message of songs physically and vocally. She enjoys training in a non-traditional way combining traditional vocal exercises and contemporary music. Her students range from church choir members and soloists to professional recording artists. She is available for private voice lessons, group workshops, gift certificate lessons, and brush up sessions. Humanitarian Having two siblings in heaven as the result of abortion, Christina has a passion for the unborn. She desires to be a voice for them and help encourage others to inform expecting mothers of options that are available, the unspoken consequences of abortion, and especially that they are loved and supported. Women considering abortion often feel they cannot afford or cannot handle the responsibility of the birth of their child or they feel pressured to have an abortion by a boyfriend or family member. They aren't sure whom to turn to for help. The Agape Pregnancy Help Center is a place women can find hope, support and help with their decision for their unborn child. Others who have already experienced the tragedy of an abortion can find peace and healing. These mothers find open arms, caring hearts and words of truth and love. To help the center keep its doors open, Christina has pledged to donate a portion of the proceeds from her album Freedom, which released September 2003. She also holds an annual fundraising concert, Voices For Life, inviting professional singers from all over to sing for the event uniting in concert for the lives of the unborn.
