Leaving Comfort Behind: How USRN Cristina Chose Obedience and Faith
In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Rise Tayo, Coach Blanche sits down with her spiritual mentor, Cristina — a Filipino-American nurse who gave up her comfortable life in the U.S. to answer God’s call to ministry in the Philippines.
Cristina has been a huge part of Blanche’s own faith journey. Years ago, she prayed over her for two hours during a powerful deliverance session. As a true prayer warrior rooted in God’s Word, Cristina continues to stand on the promise of Revelation 12:11: “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death."
In this conversation, Cristina shares her obedience to return home, her heart for the next generation, and her belief that “you will not grow in the comfort zone — you will experience grace, peace, love, and mercy.” From distributing gospel tracts to leading Bible studies across nations, she reminds us what it means to trust God fully for provision and direction.
