Ann’s personal story is one of encouragement and hope through the toughest times. Ann’s willingness to share her marriage difficulties and loss of her dreams...then working to have her marriage restored only to become a widow at the age of 46 appeals to a wide variety of women in various situations. Starting life over after the death of a spouse is something that Ann’s asked about. Dealing with situations you can’t fix and learning to allow God to work in and through those situations for our good, as well as others in our lives, is a lesson Ann has learned first hand on more than one occasion. She’s gone through several life experiences that required her to reach out for help to folks she trusted for help. Reaching out is something we all need to do, but many of us don’t do very well. Real life is Ann’s specialty…no fluff...just the real stuff.

Claudine is the founder of Heartstring Ministries and the author of HELP! I'm talking and I can't SHUT UP!
Raised in Henryetta, Oklahoma, she accepted the Lord at a children's camp when she was seven years old. Claudine will tell you that the motto her family lived by was "When the church doors open...BE THERE!"
She attended Southern Nazarene University and majored in Christian Education. Since that time she has worked in almost every area of the church: children and youth director, Sunday School teacher, missions, lay-training, leading worship, directing productions and writing and teaching the Prayer 101 curriculum for her church.
In 1989 her greatest life experience began...it was during this time that both she and her husband Larry, began to experience their own personal holocaust. Plagued with unexplainable illness and eventually clinical depression, they had to find a way to serve God and believe in His promises even when it looked as though they were heading for bankruptcy and separation.
Heartstring Ministries is an outgrowth of those years. During that time Claudine learned as never before, the power of prayer, the healing that comes from praise and the incredible promise of His Word.
She and her husband, Larry, have been married for twenty-six years. They, along with their son Logan, attend Bethany First Church of the Nazarene.
Claudine loves to customize topics around the theme of your event. She also offers a weekend workshop on prayer entitled PrayerSurge.
Other topics:Help! I'm Talking and I Can't Shut Up! - a lighthearted, fun, laugh, and cry storytelling event.
Prayer, Praise, and Promise-discovering intimacy with God

Described as having a “rock solid faith and a true heart for the Gospel message,” Christa’s objective is clear, “that the world may know.” Christa was called into the ministry at a very young age. During those impressionable years she ran from that calling out of fear. It wasn’t until the age of 27 and the birth of her daughter that she rededicated her life completely to the Lord and was obedient to what God wanted for her. Since that time, God has opened many doors, and Christa has been ministering to thousands throughout the United States for the last 12 years.
Christa is a nationally known keynote speaker and worship leader for Women’s Ministries and has had the privilege of sharing the stage with artists such as Chonda Pierce and Tammy Trent. She is a sincere speaker that will encourage young and old alike that it is never too late to give your life over to Jesus Christ, and that He can give healing, hope, and forgiveness to a wounded heart. Her humorous and touching personal stories will allow your heart to be opened and will draw you closer to the foot of the Cross. You will leave feeling renewed and revived in spirit, desiring a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
As a worship leader, her anointed voice prepares your heart to be ushered into the presence of the Holy Spirit. She incorporates new and familiar praise and worship songs and also shares her music in concert.
Favorite Topics for Conferences and Retreats
The Potter’s Clay – Worthy Vessels - knowing and believing that you are a worthy child of God. He has a very special plan for your life – a plan to bring Him honor and glory, no matter what your past may be. (Five sessions)
Following the Cross and Finding Joy - Do you remember the song we used to sing, “I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart”? Too few Christians are radiating the presence of the Lord in their lives. Christa takes a different approach on why so many are following the cross but so few are experiencing joy. (Three sessions)
Are You Ready For Battle? - The Bible says in John 10:10 (NIV) that, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” What have you allowed Satan to steal from you? Whatever it may be it is time to learn how to take it back and to put on the full armor of God so that we are prepared to fight.
Have a “Mary” Christmas - Each time we see Mary Magdalene, she is at Jesus’ feet. We are in such a hurry at Christmas time that we can forget that the celebration is about the birth of our Savior. All of us can be a “Mary” not only at Christmas time but also all through the year if we take the time to be at His feet and take the time to develop a love relationship with the one who gave His life, so that we might live.
Christa resides in Clearwater, Florida, with her husband John, daughter Katelyn, and son John Michael.
Christa’s deepest desire is for everyone to experience the love, forgiveness, and healing that only comes from Jesus Christ. Christa’s music ministry continues to take the Light into the world. (John 8:12)
