My husband and I have been in full-time ministry for over 35 years and have recently been moved into a transitional time. During that time we had a very brief encounter with Chris and Lorri, and we all made a connection. Chris quickly knew we needed a friend.
We were invited to attend the Istoria retreat. I (Kelly) was honestly nervous and almost anxious about making new connections on this type of level feeling like if I get there, I can’t leave. We arrived and God began to shine through everyone there.
God used that entire weekend experience for me…Kelly. I received the ability to forgive, I received a new mentee. What that showed me was that God isn’t done with me.
My husband and I renewed our vows and extended forgiveness for years of ministry “stuff” , so we can allow the Lord to do His thing again in and through us as a unit. We became open to newness and were able to get a fresh start during the Istoria Retreat.
The book Transcend along with the reminders of the Spiritual gifts test and results were refreshing! as It is great for EVERYONE at all stages of spiritual walks to either learn of their gifts, or be reminded who they are in the Lords body of believers. We can serve God by serving others more effectively this way.
Thank you Chris, Lorri and Istoria Board of Directors for this opportunity!

As a ministry leader with more than 20 years of experience, having the opportunity to sit under their leadership and teaching is for me always a positive, uplifting experience. Their sincere love for people and personal and authentic interest in you and your story always shines through them and how they minister to you.
I first became aware of Chris & Lorri's strong faith & dedication to serving Christ when I began attending the church where they co-led a program for new church members. The program was presented with grace,knowledge, and from the heart. Those gifts and their calling to begin Istoria Group Ministry paved the way for my participation & volunteer work in the Ministry. The Ministry has been a blessing to me & and all who participate in Worship Night and the TRANSEND experience. It is making a significant contribution to the Christian community and those seeking peace, love & salvation through Christ. A spiritually meaningful & Transending experience.
