Missionary work for Christine began when she was an accountant for the 1000 Missionary Movement in 1996. In April 2004, her involvement with AWA started on a part time basis to help set up accounting records for AWAF operations. An opportunity to work for AWAF on a full-time basis was offered in November that year. In February 2005, Christine started as an official AWAF full-time employee. Accepting the challenge of working full-time was not an easy decision because it meant moving away from her home, leaving her family, friends, and all she had ever known.

Christine moved to Palawan from Cavite in March 2006. She was willing to work and move to Palawan for as long as the Lord would spare her from getting infected with malaria, which was so prevalent in the southern part of the island. Fifteen years have passed and Christine is still free from malaria! God is indeed good and true to His promise found in Psalms 91: 10, 11 “There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.”
