Khristine Fowler Phillips took her first breath on July 12, 1974 in Beaufort, South Carolina. She grew up in Palatka, FL, a small town where she was sheltered within the safe boundaries of her Christian home. When Khristine's parents got divorced when she was 9 years old, her eyes were opened to "what the world was about." There seemed to be a magnitude of hurt, destruction, and so many lost people everywhere she looked. From that point on, she wandered in the world, trying to discover what was missing in her life- to no success. While at work one day in 2005, God showed Khristine that what she was missing “Him”! Soon after that, God directed her to move to Branson, Missouri. It was after obeying His leading that she made a connection with the local church at the HopeCenter.

Today, Khristine ministers to over 200 people monthly as the Community Outreach Coordinator at the HopeCenter's Food and Clothing Ministry. She also handles the operational aspects of the church and Melissa Harris Ministries- in addition to reaching out as the hands and feet of the Pastoral Team- to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and minister life to the hurting (Matthew 25).

FAVORITE VERSE: Jeremiah 1:9-10 (The Message)
God reached out, touched my mouth, and said, "Look! I've just put my words in your mouth—hand-delivered! See what I've done? I've given you a job to do among nations and governments—a red-letter day! Your job is to pull up and tear down, take apart and demolish, And then start over, building and planting."
