After overcoming tragedy in her own life, former Drayton resident Christa Hesselink has written a “self-hope” book to encourage others facing devastating circumstances in their lives.
Life’s Great Dare: Risking It All For The Abundant Life, written by Hesselink, is the story of one woman saying “yes” to the dare in the midst of the most traumatic and devastating circumstances in her life. Learning how personal transformation is the pathway to an abundant life is a key component of her book.
Hesselink’s passion is helping people experience a life that is more full of love for themselves, for God and for others. She has taught in various settings and enjoys advocating for organizations and people who work on behalf of the world’s most vulnerable. Throughout her career, Hesselink has worked in the not-for-profit and ministry context. At present, her employment is as the director of Next Generation Engagement for Brethren In Christ, Canada where she directs both the FLOW internship program and The Spark Initiative.
Hesselink will be speaking at the Maryborough Community Centre, 15 Ball Avenue in Moorefield, on June 16 at 7:30pm. The event, “An Evening with the Author Christa Hesselink,” is open to the public. A freewill offering will be collected with the proceeds from the night going to the Love 2 Love Project.
The Love 2 Love Project was launched by Hesselink in 2015 to advocate and raise funds for vulnerable children in Syria. Books will be on sale at the event with 100% of the proceeds going to the project. For those who have already purchased a book, she will be on hand to autograph books, as time allows.
