Krista Obitts
My faith in Christ started at an early age. Although my trust in God’s sovereignty has been challenged in the midst of difficult circumstances, the result has been a keen awareness that I am his precious child – fully known and loved by him.
I came to D.C. from Wheaton College to work on Capitol Hill and, later, was the Director of Communication for a major nonprofit. It was not until the arrival of many little ones that I realized the need to totally depend on God and submit to Christ’s rule in my life. All that I previously depended on for an identity; vocation, relationships, and accomplishment, passed away — I love being in this place.
Since moving into our Arlington neighborhood over eight years ago, our family has desired to be salt and light to those around us. We have been blessed by the like-mindedness of our new church home (just blocks from our own) where we have been challenged to use the gifts he has given us to creatively love our community.
It is my prayer that Restoration will continue to reach out to our local and global community and help demonstrate Christ’s love by sacrificially laying down our live for each other (I John 3:16), so those in our spheres of influence may also fully realize that they too are children of God and are loved and known by Him.
