Andrea Do Santos is an artist & published author.
Before becoming a Christian, she was a practicing witch, worked as
a psychic and struggled with drug addiction and mental illness.
“Christian Counterstrike” shares the journey from being
held captive in the Enemy’s camp – a life of spiritual darkness and
emotional turmoil - and the freedom she discovered through
Jesus Christ.
Providence- "the foreseeing care and guidance of God, omnisciently directing the universe and the affairs of humankind with wise benevolence."
It’s a hard concept to get one’s head around- an invisible God working behind the scenes, putting things together in ones life with love and good intentions.
How can that be? What about those people who have been abused, are on drugs, or experiencing severe poverty- is God working in their lives? Does Providence exist even when we don’t believe in God- or when we reject Christ?
The story of my life shows that God is at work even in the most darkest circumstances. I grew up in an abusive home. By the time I was 19 I had been homeless, drug addicted and spent time in a psychiatric ward. Into my 20s I began practicing witchcraft, worked as a psychic and was involved in the New Age Movement. My life was full of fear, addictions and confusion. Yet God was able to use the chaos of my life to direct me back to His loving arms. Providence.
Is it God who has lead you here today? Are you- or someone close to you- struggling with heartbreak? Addictions? Mental Illness? Family Breakdown? This site shares my journey through these issues. It shows the work God did in my life - out of the darkness and into the light. It makes clear the spiritual battle that is at work in our lives- where there is an Enemy who is set to destroy us and a Savior, Jesus Christ, who offers us life in the full.
It also shares the Lord’s provision of truth through the Bible- how God, in His Providence, has provided a source to guide our steps and show us His ways.
My writing and my artwork aims to share my life with you - the things I have experienced, the beauty of Christ’s love and God’s grace- and the invitation He extends to everyone- to be forgiven of our sins and receive eternal life through Christ. My prayer is that you will discover these things for yourself through this website.
