CHRISTINA MATCHAM
Creative Director Dance Director Christina Matcham is the Creative & Dance Director of Habitation NYC. Christina’s desire is to see creatives return to a place of co-laboring with Holy Spirit, and see the arts return to a place where individuals can encounter the very nature of God. She believes that the arts were never meant to be separated from God, but something to be done with Him; and that when done with Him, His loving mercy can be made manifest to bring healing, miracles, deliverance, transformation and so much more! She longs to see creatives re-aligned to First-love, true identity, and creative discovery with the Father, and raised up on a foundation of worship, prayer, and the Word to shift culture. Christina has chosen to lay down her life to establish a home for God to dwell in the midst of the arts again. Branded on her heart is Psalm 132: 4-5: “I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, until I find a place for the Lord, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” |

She believes that when the Church comes together, revival will flood the cities and salvation fill the streets! Ihra’s heart is to see the nations come together as one. She desires for every nation, tribe, people, and tongue to know that they belong to the family of God and they are invited to sit at the Lord’s ever-expanding banquet table to celebrate together! She believes that if people simply ate a meal together, fear and prejudice would crumble because people will actually get to know each other and build genuine love and care for one another! Written in her heart is Ephesians 3:17-20, “…so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God…” Ihra believes in her whole heart that since He is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, she can’t settle for anything less than the whole world. |
