Love this ministry and who they are in Him. I have had dreams with Heidi in them where she and I were making cookies for the children...I woke up singing the Candy Man! I have also gotten many words that I am like her in the spirit because I am called to be a Momma too. They are true parents in the Lord and to have the privilege to hear them speak is convicting and humbling because they are so pure-hearted. One time I was paintng at a conference and I had asked God if Heidi could just see my painting, the Longing. At the conference I came back from lunch and there was a woman laying in front of my painting...and it was Heidi! She got up and spoke about it, saying, there were keys in His mouth to rooms in heaven. She did not know, but the painting came from a vision I had in a room in heaven.

Ken Helser (Jonathan David Helser's Dad) is an amazing father in the Spirit and he has become like a Papa to me. He shared a testimony about a painting of a Butterfly he did to convict me get up and paint one of the first times. He encouraged me to go for it! It was his passion for the Lord and willingness to reach out to me, that sparked a fire in my heart. I am forever grateful to him for his love and service to the Kingdom of God. Here is a quote from one of the emails he sent me:
"WHEN WE FIND OUR PLACE IN THE KINGDOM WE WILL LOVE IT SO GOOD WE WOULD PAY TO KEEP IT, BUT WE GET THE BEST PAY OF ALL, WE DO WHAT WE LOVE AND LOVE WHAT WE DO." THAT IS MY HEART FOR YOU. KEN

I met Leif Hetland and his wife Jennifer in Atlanta when I painted King of Glory there. He has a heart for Muslims, so they call him the "Apostle of Love" in Pakistan. When he was done speaking, he came by my table and so I offered for him to take whatever print he wanted. He picked one out, and then said to this lady I'd been talking to the whole time, "Which ones did you want so I can pay for them?" I didn't even realize she was his wife. I said please just take them!! Then he looked into my eyes and said to me, "You are so precious. I want to sow into you." Then he gave me an amount that was much more than the prints cost. When he walked away I lost it...I just felt so validated and honored. Broken by his generosity.
Yes, I agree.....he really is an Apostle of Love!!!

I met Paul Cox at a meeting in Moravian Falls. God used him to increase my gift of discernment. He is a true Papa in the spirit and carries an anointing like no one I have ever met. Aslan's Place has been a forerunner in bringing spiritual discernment to individuals and ministries throughout the world. Located in Southern California, Aslan's Place Healing Center reaches out through allied ministry friends and training opportunities to believers throughout the world. I was accepted to intern with the ministry, but am waiting for God to provide for me to go.

I have known Dan Nelson for a long time, I have seen him lead worship, be an interim pastor, lead a house church, as well as a church under the stars in a park downtown, I've seen him paint on huge canvas in festivals and church services, as well as on his hands and knees at street painting festivals. I have seen him do online teaching and online painting auctions. If it is art, I have seen Dan do it! I have also seen his sweet, gentle, loving spirit as well as his tenacity to serve in the Kingdom. He is truly one of the most amazing artists and brothers I know. Everything he does, he does with creativity and excellence. I have had the honor of painting beside him as well as helping him carry his supplies. He is a great encouragement to me...a blessing everywhere he goes and I am grateful for his ministry and life, because it is a testimony of Jesus!

I met Akiane at a conference in Charleston, SC where I was doing Prophetic
Portraits. I 'd heard about her when I worked for Elijah List where she was interviewed for the magazine. As she shared testimonies of her paintings and how God gave them to her, I became so convicted by her faithfulness. I was looking at her body of work and became undone by it, listening to her poems...and weeping. I asked her if she would pray for me to be faithful like she was. I showed her how I did the prophetic portraits, prayed for her and now she is doing them too. She said some very encouraging things to me about what she believed God would do with my art, and not long after that I painted "The Longing", a vision God had already given me but I was afraid to paint, and I used the same size canvas she had shared that she uses. ...and a little child will lead them...

I met John Thomas at a church where I was to paint. I ran into a room in a frenzy, because I was looking for a place to blow dry my wet hair. I had just unloaded all my art in the rain and I was about to get up and paint. I was stressing out and he was so relaxed and completely chilled out. I realized he was the speaker, so I apologized and offered to find another place, but he said...no problem, and let me dry my hair. Since that chance encounter, he has been a such gift, encouraging me with my writing, and helping me grow in my prophetic gift. I am thankful to know him, look up to him and consider him a true spiritual leader in my life!
John and his wife Dawna came out of the drug culture and were radically saved and delivered in 1996. Soon after, they heard the call of God to be church planters and pastors and spent 2 years with Streams Ministries where they were trained and equipped for the call of God on their lives.They assisted John’s mentor, John Paul Jackson, founder of Streams Ministries and the Association of Bridge Churches, in planting a BRiDGE Church in Massachusetts.

Thomas Schwabe is a good friend and a favorite prophetic artist of mine. He is down to earth but in heavenly places at the same time. He has been a blessing and encouragement to me and I thank God for his friendship! He is a dream expert, visionary artist, illustrator, graphic designer and teacher. He is inspired by his dreams, revelations and visions. and believes that when a person is doing what they were created to do, the energy they receive is greater than the energy expended. His art is the product of his spiritual connection with The Father of Lights from which every gift comes down from above.

Mountain of Worship is where God first opened my eyes and asked me to paint. Danny Steyne, or "Papa D." as I like to call him, is the leader. I like to call him that because I see the Father God in his eyes and like Our Father in Heaven, his heart beats for the Lord's western Bride. His wife Karen is a mother to many, including their 9 children. They are spiritual parents that have been tried in the fire but come out pure and full of the love of God. The Mountain has given me wings by releasing me from the religious bonds that kept me afraid to step out and fly.

I met Janice VanCronkhite in April '09 at the SelahMOW conference. I bought one of her prints, was holding it at my side, and someone came up to me and prophesied I see a metamorphosis in you, they didn't know, but that was the name of the print I had just bought. I stalked her at the back of the church at that conference, until she prayed for me. She is an incredible artist with the heart of a Mother. She was asked to pray for me again in Charleston at a Dream Conference in front of everyone, and I was undone, on the floor...crying out, praising God for His goodness. So blessed to receive from someone who has been a pioneer and paved the way for those that are now coming forth in the arts. Thank you Janice!

Scott and Shari Norvell are dear friends that have encouraged and prayed with me. I love them and what they carry. The Lord had me paint a prophetic portrait for Shari, and I saw a beautiful Gold box with a red bow on it. He told me she was a gift, and their the revelation in their ministry is too. It truly is a gift from God for the body. I love them and their hearts, you learn more about their healing ministry and see their videos here. www.terra4ming.com

"I was very impressed with the way Chrisie flowed with the Holy Spirit; ministering joy, happiness, relief and healing to those she painted for...God has surely imparted some of His compassion in her heart."
