“CRAZY” MIGHT BE A BLESSING IN DISGUISE!
In the Summer of 2018 Kris Castro was invited on an Abraham-like adventure with the Lord. After several Gideon-style conversations, Kris realized she was being called into a new and radical level of trust in her relationship with Him. That “Crazy” road trip was exactly what she needed to step into her destiny for the next season of her life.
After driving almost 14,000 miles (11K in 3 months!) across the U.S., speaking at over 23 groups, posting all the God stories on her blog throughout her journey, and stopping at family and friends along the way, Kris is so thankful she said “YES” to the Lord.
The whole trip was Holy Spirit led with amazing Holy Spirit provision every time she needed a place to stay or money to cover gas, bills, and expenses! Living “one day at a time” (and sometimes one hour!) has been the best decision she ever made!
Take a few minutes to watch the video below to learn more about Kris’ “Crazy” Adventure. After hearing her story, invite Kris to visit your group as a catalyst to take them deeper into their relationship with the Lord. You can also download a sample of her book or scroll to the end of the webpage to listen to a more in-depth interview.
Why Should You Care? :) [A Note from Kris]:
As a former ministry leader, I know how hard it can be to cultivate a “hunger” within the people you serve for deeper intimacy with Jesus leading to more peace and joy in their everyday lives. I have found that a desire often exists, but it is usually overshadowed by daily responsibilities and a lack of clarity of what “deeper intimacy” actually looks like. Eric Liddell (the main character in the movie Chariots of Fire and author of The Disciplines Of The Christian Life) has a great perspective on that dilemma: “You will know as much of God, and only as much of God, as you are willing to put into practice.” I learned that very lesson throughout my six month Adventure across the U.S.
Sometime during the middle of my journey I also began to sense there was an assignment attached to this “crazy” experience: To showcase the Lord’s faithfulness through all the divinely crazy things that happened as I deepened my intimacy with Him.
As I’ve shared my story with friends, family and professional colleagues within my sphere of influence, my journey seems to have given people a tangible way to see “intimacy” with the Lord in action to help them deepen their faith, discover opportunities to partner with the Lord for Kingdom Impact within their sphere of influence, and provide hope/encouragement to those in difficult circumstances. 
If that message aligns with your goals, would you be interested in having me share my story with your group as a catalyst to open doors for your ministry team to disciple the people you serve into a deeper relationship with Jesus?

TESTIMONIES:
“Kris Cavanaugh Castro stopped by Life Church in late October 2018. She was traveling through our area and asked if she could give her testimony at our Celebrate Recovery. At first I was a bit leery, but after reading her story and getting a chance to meet her, I knew God had led her to our group. Her testimony was exactly what several of our attendees needed to hear that night. She spoke with great clarity and you could feel the passion in her words. Her life-story is a true testimony of God’s faithfulness. If you are in need of a speaker for an event, or a testimony at your local recovery meeting, I would highly recommend Kris.”
– Cindy M., Life Church (Houston, TX)

Kris was very comfortable talking to our group, interacted well with everyone, and was a positive encouragement to those who spoke with her after the meeting. I have confidence she will do well in whatever she feels God is leading her to do.”
