After some initial outreach and partnership meetings with the organization in August and September, 2018, URCC became involved with MH&HOM and have since been supporting the ministry through in kind and cash donations, holiday baskets, toiletries and food drive donations.

Her belief is “when you know better, you do better.” She has authored a book called “From One Parent to Another; There is Hope in the Wilderness.” A personal testimony she shares about a time when her own eighteen-year old adult daughter was lost in the wilderness of navigating her newfound freedom and responsibility.

Christal has had the opportunity to teach and lead in various capacities throughout her career in the military, public service for the federal government and in her church ministry.
