Bio:  My name is Christy Deanne Boot I am a 48 year old married mother of six and mom to 2 boys that came to live with his later in life. My family is now growing with in-laws. I am a Christian and love singing Gods praises. I have been a worship leader for 27 years and I have been involved in many different ministries from  youth to leading Bible studies. I also love crafting and painting and decorating, but a person only needs so many plants, signs and nicknacks so mine are slowly leaking into my classroom! I recently got back into the work force after 27 years of raising my family and homeschooling. When my youngest went back to  school I decided that I really missed teaching so I took online classes specializing in speech therapy, leaning disabilities and behavioural problems. I am a speech consultant and sign language is my next task to learn. This lead me to where I am today! I decided to take a full time position at LCBI and we will see where that takes me. I love the atmosphere and relationships here at LCBI  and am excited to see how my youngest son finishes. I am thankful for this opportunity to be involved in these kids lives and teach them that God has always got their back even when they don’t feel or see it!
