Lori Boteler
Christine was born in Egypt to a Coptic Orthodox family. When she was thirteen, she accepted the Lord as her personal savior and spirit filled at nineteen. Since then she has been intimately walking with the Lord; served God passionately in different women's meetings and youth groups in Egypt.
She moved to California in 1991 with her husband and her one year old daughter, Kathy, and have had two more girls since: Nardeen and Anna. They pastored an Arabic church, counseled and worked on staff for an American church, and ran a business. Then God called them to minister in the Middle - East to bring reformation and renewal to the body of Christ there.
They feel that God has called them to be a bridge between the Church in the west and the Middle-East.
Their vision is to plant churches, train leaders and raise up a new generation to carry God's heart for revival in their nation.
Christine is passionate about bringing God's people to a higher level of maturity in their walk with Christ through her understanding of the Bible. Her teaching eases the application of its principles to daily life so that readers are able to get a hold of the destiny God has for them. She also believes in the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in imparting God's heart to His church. With God's grace, she is seeing God's people inspired and motivated through her teaching, both in churches and Bible studies. She believes that by trusting God with the crumbs in her hands, He is able to use them to satisfy the multitudes! Christine welcomes questions and testimonies regarding her book's impact on readers.
Christine and husband, Kato, operate through the Rivers of Life Ministries in California, in which they speak at numerous churches and conferences, in addition to church planting, throughout various regions of the world, with an emphasis on the Middle East.
