The public speaking ministry of Dr. Christina M. H. Powell started in her freshman year at Penn State University and continued through her years of doctoral research at Harvard University and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, long before she became an ordained minister. In those early years, she spoke in churches across denominations as well as at events such as a college honor society induction ceremony. Today, she enjoys preaching in churches on Sunday mornings, and speaking at conferences and university campuses.
