Passionate, Loving, Loyal, Engaging, Obedient, and Direct are words often used to describe Shaniqua Rischer. However, the words she loves to be known for the most are Christian and daughter of the Most High God.

Shaniqua Rischer was born and raised in Dallas, TX, and is the youngest of three children. Her father was an educator, and she grew up in a family where education was emphasized as the foundation for success. At the age of 22, Shaniqua dedicated her life to Christ and has been on a quest for a closer relationship with God ever since that time.

Having struggled with low self-esteem, feelings of unworthiness and inadequacies, abject fear, and not knowing how to serve, love, and follow a God she could not see or feel made her tap into her inquisitive nature. Shaniqua has always been the type of person to ask why. She learned to never rely solely on the answer given, but to delve deeper and to question what she was told and taught. Shaniqua approached her relationship with Christ as she would with any person she met – she started talking and asking why. Through intimate prayer and conversations with God, she gained a clearer understanding of the struggles many Christians face. The battles include the responsibility of being called Christian, knowing what we are supposed to do, but too afraid to act or not knowing how to break free of the bondage that holds us captive. She has discovered a love unlike anything she has ever known, experienced favor that can only come from the Lord, and learned what it means to finally let her guard down and let God be the center of her life. The result has been the metamorphosis of a person that dares to be extraordinary and move beyond fear to faith.

While on a mission trip to Kenya in 2009, her global vision formed to impact others. As a result, the missions focused At The Cross Global Ministries was born. Shaniqua shares her experiences and lessons of faith directly and openly, full of compassion, challenge, and optimism.

In February 2011, Shaniqua began publishing weekly devotionals under GreatIs.org, an intercessory prayer site. Through this site, people can submit their requests for prayer, and Ms. Rischer inspires many to continue their faith walk by sharing her personal struggles and walk with God. A well sought-after speaker, spiritual confidant, and powerful prayer partner, Shaniqua’s testimony help others prepare for the test. Her ability to relate God’s word to daily living makes her popular in any crowd and causes many to take note. Her weekly messages of reflection and enlightenment are shared with many around the world. She is a sought-after speaker and has published three books, “Living A Fake Life for A Real God”; “God-Morning! Sixty Mornings with God”; and “The Boy Who Would Be King: 7 Lessons from The Life of David“.

She is a licensed minister and is a member of Disciple Central Community Church where she formerly served as the Mission’s Community leader; and has led seven short-term international missions. Shaniqua holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Government from The University of Texas at Austin and a Master of Arts Degree in Christian Education from Dallas Baptist University.
