Christine Caine (née Caryofyllis, 23 September 1966) is an Australian activist, evangelist, author, and international speaker.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Caine and her husband Nick are best known for founding The A21 Campaign in 2008, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-governmental organization that combats human trafficking around the globe.[7][8][9] In 2015, Caine founded Propel Women, an organization designed to empower and activate women in their passion, purpose, and potential.[10][11] Caine and her husband are also founders of Zoe Churches,[12] which has locations in Bulgaria, Poland, and Greece.[13] Caine has written numerous books, including "A Life Unleashed", "Run to Win", "Can I Have (And Do) It All, Please?", "The Core Issue", "Undaunted", "Unstoppable", "Unashamed", "Unshakeable", "Unexpected", "How Did I Get Here?", "Resilient Hope", and "Don't Look Back." Caine actively speaks about her faith in God, strengthening leadership, and championing the cause of justice at conferences and other events across the globe.[10][3][14][4]

Early life and education[edit]

Australian-born and of Greek descent, Christine Caine was adopted at birth by Greek Orthodox immigrants who raised her in public commission housing in Lalor Park, New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.[3][4][15] She attended Lynwood Park Public School and Blacktown Girls High School. Caine survived several years of sexual abuse as a child.[16][17][18]

She graduated from University of Sydney with a degree in English. Caine also attended and graduated from Hillsong College in 1992. In 2022, Caine graduated from Wheaton College with her M.A. in Evangelism and Leadership as part of a cohort-based program in partnership between Propel Women and Wheaton College.[19][20]

Personal[edit]

Caine married Nick Caine in 1996. They have two daughters.[21][22][23][24] Caine herself is a cancer survivor.[25][17]

Ministry[edit]

Caine grew up in the Greek Orthodox Church in Australia.[3][4][5] She first volunteered as a youth worker, when she helped establish Hills District Youth Service.[4] She went on to become the director of a nationwide youth ministry, Youth Alive.[4] In 2008 she founded the A21 Campaign with her husband Nick, who is now the CEO of A21 and pastor of Zoe Churches. A21 is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-governmental organization which fights to "abolish slavery everywhere, forever".[10][14][26][7] With 19 locations in 14 countries, their aim is to prevent human trafficking through awareness, to protect trafficked victims in their shelters and transition homes, to prosecute traffickers and strengthen the legal response to human trafficking, and to partner with law enforcement, individuals, corporations, official bodies, and other non-governmental organizations to end human trafficking in the 21st century.[26][7][27][28]

In January 2015, Caine founded Propel Women,[11][5] an organization that believes in the passion, purpose, and potential of every woman everywhere. Propel Women exists to honor the calling of every woman, empower her to lead, equip her for success, and develop a sense of God-given purpose.

Caine has also been featured on several international television shows, including TBN's Praise the Lord, Life Today with James Robison, Better Together, Huckabee, Joyce Meyer's Enjoying Everyday Life, and Daystar.[29][30][31][32][33] In October 2016, TBN launched a weekly TV show featuring Caine called Equip & Empower with Christine Caine.[34]

In May 2018, author Carey Scott sued Caine and her publisher, HarperCollins Christian Publishing, for alleged copyright infringement of Scott's work in Caine's book Unashamed (2016) and in a derived work Unshakeable (2017). A settlement was reached in October 2018 and later printings of the works credited Scott's work or were reworded.[35][36][37]
