Provisions of Grace represents my Christian life-journey of Deconstruction, Healing, Helping, and Growing.
In this journey that included living in South Africa these last 10 years, and my life in the States, I have learned to overcome persecution, opposition, divorce, separation, discrimination, and
injustice.

The Lord's Call on the life of Chris Badenhorst is strong in their heart to demonstrate the Lord in all Their Love, Splendour, and Glory; to break the chains of Religion; and to bring
healing to all in need (children, adults, families, communities, and myself)--one that is a following of the ministry of Jesus:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor [physical and spiritually helpless, destitute, lacking, powerless]; he has
sent me to heal [cure, make whole, free from error] the broken-hearted [a heart crushed, trodden, torn, shattered of any strength], to preach deliverance [pardoned, released from bondage and
imprisonment, forgiven (as never been committed)] to the captives, and recovering (restoration) of sight to the blind (physically or mentally), to set at liberty [pardoned, released from bondage and
imprisonment, forgiven (as never been committed)] them that are bruised [forcibly crushed, broken, shattered]; to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
- Luke 4:18-19
Follow more of all that I share through my Instagram for both Provisions of Grace and my cBadenhorst Missions.
Both cBadenhorst.Missions and Provisions of Grace Outreach & Ministry reflect my own journey of discovering my neurodiversity and non-binary identity—a
journey made possible through the safety of true community. My desire is to provide that same sanctuary for others: intentional inclusivity and safety for non-binary, queer, neurodivergent,
gender-fluid, and gender-questioning individuals, communities, and gatherings.
I am also available for conferences, speaking engagements, one-on-one support, or just to meet to talk in the area or via a MS Teams video meet.
