As I have traveled and spoke to audiences of women, I soon realized I had something more to offer. Having experienced my own level of abuse, abandonment, broken relationships, and food addiction I understand what so many women are struggling with. I also understand a Savior that can free you from the bondage of your past, the present and move you towards a glorious future.

Change is hard. But if we take our steps one by one, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us, allowing the support of friends and family, holding us accountable, we can achieve our goals. Goals that not only change our lives but the lives of others around us. This event can be done for women, singles, and/or leadership.
We all carry so much in our lives. From past pains and hurts, to responsibilities and burdens, to things that keep memories alive, to things that protect, to what it takes to make us smile or bring joy to our lives, it comes with us. Often, the things we bring hold us back and keep us from moving forward. Often these things hide secrets--good and bad. Bring Kris to your city/church and be encouraged as we both unpack what's in our suitcase.  

At times you may all feel lonely - having to handle all the responsibility of your home, possible kids, and finances by yourself. Or perhaps you desire that special someone to share your life. Or maybe you had that special person and now they are gone. This conference/workshop will encourage you as you learn what loneliness is really about and how God can move you to a life filled with hope, even as you journey it alone.
So many people struggle with life, specifically moving forward. Sometimes it's due to our relationships that have gone unreconciled. Sometimes it's due to past pain, broken dreams, and unresolved issues. This conference will speak not only on those areas of reconciliation but also how to become restored and healed in Christ, allowing you to finally move forward. Come and be encouraged, come and be filled by the Spirit. Come and be renewed.

Description: Real changes require real friends, real support and a real God. 
Change is a part of all of our lives. Some of it is easy, while some is difficult. Some changes comes without notice, requiring quick decisions that we pray are right. Some changes are personal, requiring additional trust in the Lord. But no matter what God is changing in your life, we need the Holy Spirit to help us in this change, this transformation.
Description: Do you know who are you in Christ? Do you understand the value God places on you? Do you realize how much God loves you? Do you realize the power God has given you? This conference/seminar takes you to that special place of experiencing God's true value..as a woman of worth.

I first became acquainted with Kris in 2016 at the Labor Day singles conference at Black Mountain. She was very a good speaker who held my attention, very personable and interesting. The gathering was so large, I didnt really have any one on one interaction with her. I met her again in March of of 2019 in Burlington. Through her presentation, I could see how down to earth, sincere and transparent she is. She was a little under the weather, but still gave us her best. She is positive, humorous, humble and real. I met her again in July of 2019 at a small single ladies Restoration weekend. This is where I really got to know her. Kris is genuinely concerned for those who she ministers to. She is open and honest, and opened me (and others present) to be honest without feeling judged or singled out. Her activities for the week end were very creative! Of the eight women who attended, several of us came in as strangers, but we all left as sisters. I highly recommend attending her events. Her life experiences, gifts for healing and helping will leave you feeling positive and hopeful. Kris is genuinely caring and I support her ministry.
