chris estrada
We are excited to announce Chris Estrada as our guest speaker!
Raised on the border of the United States & Mexico, it was in no time at all until Chris found himself in a lifestyle of drugs, alcohol, lust and trouble. He was invited to youth camp in the summer of 1999. This is where everything changed; Chris received the gift of salvation, experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit and was called into full-time ministry all in one night! Chris Estrada is now a voice impacting generations. Chris passionately pursues ministering the gospel of Jesus Christ, developing leaders who want to transform society and consulting organizations to have a strategic & lasting influence. He currently serves on the Executive Leadership of Missions Me – helping move the vision of 1Nation 1Day forward and being the Executive Director of Missions Me College.
