Christine grew up in Schenectady, NY where from a young age she made friends from different cultural backgrounds. Soon after she received her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Liberty University, she began work with international students in campus ministry and discovered a passion for befriending students from around the world. After marrying her husband Morteza and moving to Rochester, God opened a door for her to work as a campus minister with IFI. Christine loves taking part in IFI’s mission to extend life-changing hospitality and friendship to international students out of reverence for Jesus.
