Trust God.
Live True.
Go Beyond.
This Hope Remains
Isolated by the fear of losing the life she loved, Christi hid behind the image of happy marriage. That image was demolished when her husband’s name was released as one among millions registered on the Ashley Madison website for cheating spouses. Alone and naked in the rubble of the life she’d built, Christi exchanged lies for truth and discovered a hope that never disappoints.

HOW DOES CHRISTI COME ALONGSIDE?
One unique aspect of Come Alongside Ministries (CAM) is when Christi comes to you her home comes with her. With no need to rush home, Christi is onsite and available to listen, comfort, and share truth with members of your group as the Lord leads.
01
COME ALONGSIDE DESTINATIONS
A COME ALONGSIDE DESTINATION (CAD) is a session, a seminar, a weekend, or even a week you’ve planned for your small group, church, or team—to be strengthened and encouraged. Become a Destination and make a CAD Plan with Christi for 2023-24!
02
STOPS ALONG THE WAY
A STOP ALONG THE WAY (SAW) is exactly what it sounds like. Christi loves to strengthen and encourage groups and individuals along the way to and from each CAD for moments of unexpected joy and blessing. Let Christi know when you’d like to book a SAW on an upcoming trip – or put your location on her map for the future.
COME ALONGSIDE BLOG
THE COME ALONGSIDE BLOG (CAB) is where Christi shares details about her God moments, conversations with strangers and friends, and the struggles and blessings of living on the road. You’ll see God at work, be strengthened by Scripture, and encouraged to join in as a travel companion with your comments and concerns. CAB posts measure the heartbeat of CAMinistries—where you experience the thump-thump-thump of life along the way.

What People Are Saying
“It was obvious that hours of prayer and preparation went into every session Christi led at our Women’s Retreat. Her speaking and the time she spent with our ladies one-on-one and in small groups were super encouraging and relatable. She makes the most of the platform God has given her, and any church or retreat would be blessed by her presence, message, and involvement.”
“Christi’s week in the Atlanta area included everything from speaking in seminary chapel to leading a MOPS devotional, teaching a seminary class at the Women’s Prison, leading a few Bible studies, and sitting down with a new staff member at our church. In each setting, Christi shared from scripture and her life, creating an atmosphere of warmth, acceptance, and meaningful study. Invite Christi to come alongside what you’re doing at your church or to help you dream up something new! You’ll be so thankful that you did!”
“Christi Gibson is an amazing speaker teacher and encourager in Christ. God has used her story and her life to encourage others who have struggled and suffered. Christi came alongside our church and energized our people with her contagious spirit and anointed teaching. Her own story of turning suffering into encouragement will strengthen anyone who has the opportunity to hear her. I am thankful to call her my friend and fellow servant in Christ. I heartily recommend her ministry to you.”

05.Gratitude.Thank you for your kindness
"Be kind to yourself," my counselor often said.. She never raised her voice, but she spoke firmly and I do remember her interrupting me to say, "the words. "Be kind to yourself." I still interrupt a downward spiral of stinkin' thinkin' to say, "Be kind to yourself."...
Gratitude.04.Country Roads and Interstates

Gratitude.03 God’s Goodness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sE5kEnitqE Today's post is the lyrics to a song about the goodness of God. There are days and even seasons when I don't have my own words of thanks. But when I join someone like CeCe Winan in singing praise, I confess my love and...
