Christine is a recording artist; author, speaker, and host of the syndicated radio program Daughters of Promise, heard on nearly 700 hundred stations.
She has been known for 36 years as a musician and writer with 15 albums and three books to her credit. (See below) She has been nominated for a Dove Award and long admired for her ability to communicate to an audience. An artist with words, her poetic bent is evident in whatever she creates.
Her latest venture, Personalized Prayer Mapping, may well be her greatest challenge and lasting legacy. Through teaching others to harness the power of Scripture, she impacts their prayer lives, creating dynamic effects not only advancing God’s kingdom but creating street smart children of God regarding their enemy.
Christine’s passion for the transformation of women only grows with the years. She has been married for 37 years to Ron Wyrtzen. They have two adult children. A son, Ryan. A daughter ~ Jaime, her husband ~ Todd, and two grandsons, Gabriel and Andrew.
Her ministry is an outlet for her great spiritual passion. While she lives much of her life contemplatively, she looks forward to the many days a month when her travels take her on the road. She feels exhilarated when she watches a woman, or a group, come alive to the transforming love of Jesus in such a way that their childlikeness is recovered. They learn what it really means to be a Christian woman, living life as a cherished daughter in the kingdom, re-parented by Father God. Many women finally understand that they can be ‘who they would have been’ had they been raised in the Garden of Eden with God as their Father.
All of these themes will be evident as you see what her pen puts to paper.

Christine,
First off I am most definitely not a female which will probably mean I’m outnumbered here, but there is something I have to share with you. Almost 30 years ago you recorded “For Those Who Hurt” (by the way I still have the…RECORD, LOL) and you came and did a Fourth of July Concert in Elkhart, Indiana. I’ll spare you all of the details that led me to the Elkhart Baptist School that day in July, but I was sitting mid-stage when you began singing “Carry Me.” Up until that moment I had always LOVED that song, but I had been running, Christine. Running from God not to him, and I was at that concert because God said “Enough running, Son.” In the final stanza when the male voice came over the speakers, it was absolutely as if Jesus himself was talking to me. In my hurt I was crying uncontrollably, much as I am now, and a dear old lady sitting next to me quietly asked if I was okay. I responded through my tears, “not yet, but I will be.”
Christine, I am now grown, have a wonderful wife of 16 years, a 14 year-old daughter who was just baptized a couple of weeks ago, and a nine year old son who still sees me through rose colored glasses (sometimes). My family loves the Lord, they love me, and I love them, but there are times that in my mind I still go back to that day some 30 years ago, and can still hear that voice say “I’ll carry you.”
I look forward to meeting you in Heaven someday and tell you the whole story, because it really was a God thing.
Thank you Christine, for that song, from the numerous untold lives like mine, that have been changed forever by it.
God Bless You, Christine.

Christine I just wanted to thank you for all the peace that your tape “For Those Who Hurt” gave to my mom in her final days. My mom past away 23 years ago on March 13 from cancer, and she listened to this tape daily. I now listen to it myself and remember how much peace it gave her. Your songs are so touching and the message they relay are so true and powerful! Thank you so much for the messages you have shared in your music and much more.
Christa

25 years ago a friend gave me a tape of “for those who hurt”. My mother had just passed away, I was losing the love of my life, I was in a new place half way across the country, with few friends and God was pursuing me. Everyone of those songs touched me and helped me through that awful year. Yet, through it I came to know and love God. I just celebrated my silver anniversary with Him on Jan.5. I still have that tape. I have not thought of it for years until today when I was looking for “Carry Me” on the internet. And I found you. Thought I would take a moment to say thank you for those songs. God used them to help me heal. May He continue to use you in a powerful way. God bless.

Greetings Christine,
I wanted to send you an email of thanks for your prayer mapping class you taught at The Salvation Army Camp this summer. I came up to you during our break time and shared with you the generational sins I saw in my family and you prayed with me. I remembered your face and the suprise you showed. WOW! God has done great things in the spirit. I misplaced the booklet, but praise God I found it. I am experiencing a freedom that I have never ever known in Christ Jesus. It is so liberating. Today I am back to your prayer mapping guide and avoiding the diving in of God’s word, asking God to prepare my heart as I read and meditate in His word. What a time we are in. Thank You and God Bless You!

I read your “Pain is not the enemy” devotional again today. We often learn how the Lord must labor over us when we play the part of the father in the prodigals story. I have now played the part of the prodigal, the older son and the father! Agonizing over our children’s choices is torture. Praying our way through it is glorious fellowship with our merciful Savior!

Tonight, in my audiophyle world, I revived an old cassette tape that I recorded of a concert that Christine performed at the Moody Bible Church for the Friday Night Sing that I attended. The concert was re-broadcast via the Moody Broadcasting Network which is when I recorded it. I have to say, that while listening to the tape I remembered every moment of the event. It really is interesting how something so distant, that was so important at that time in my life can suddenly become so real and important once again. I am fortunate to own one of her rarest albumbs “Christine, My Best To You” and have listened to it often. However it is that a Gay 55 year old man can be so touched by this lady of religion is interesting, but not unusual. Christine Wyrtzen has that ability to touch anyone, whatever their religion or persuasion and beyond. Thank You Christine for all that you are and all that you have given to ALL of us.

I, Kathey, want this, more now than ever before, in my own life, and the life of those I know, and for this nation and other nations.
