Krissi is a Junior at Abilene Christian University majoring in Christian Services and Spiritual Formation. Krissi's testimony is powerful and she is living proof that God can change situations and lives.  Krissi was born into a toxic lifestyle riddled with a family history of both physical neglect and drug abuse. At the age of 12 she began to use marijuana and by the age of 15 was hooked on meth. At 17 she had a child and dropped out of high school. Her life began to spiral downward at the death of her brothers who were trajically killed in 2 seperate car accidents and the death of her  mother. On top of everythig else, Krissi received an 18 year prision sentence. Amazingly she only served 3 1/2 years of prision and was released. Around this time Krissi began to study the Bible; however, due to past issues she went back to jail. She surrenderd her life to Jesus and on her last incerceration, she prayed and God delivered her from drug addiction. Krissi never looked back and has hit the ground running living her life to serve a mighty God. Krissi has a gift of teaching and is such a blessing to be a part of the Anchor House family.
