Our Story

My name is Alyssa Castro and I am the owner of Christ Collection. I pray that as you read my story, you feel like you know me personally. 

Testimony

I grew up knowing who the Lord was, but never had a personal relationship with him. It wasn’t until I was in my second year of college at Texas State University, where I found myself alone in my single bedroom apartment with the feeling of emptiness overcoming me. I was consumed by the world and all it had to offer, knowing there was something missing in my life. One month later, I dropped out of college and started going back to my home church. After consistently going back to church, reading my Bible, and seeking to know more about who God made me to be, I found peace. I saw that obeying his commands in his word, brought blessings to my life that were unexplainable. Prayers were being answered, purpose was being fulfilled, and my life had meaning. I became a member at my church, started a life group for women, joined a youth group, started serving my community, and broke the negative chains that once weighed me down through the name Jesus Christ. I knew I was at a point in my life where I felt the responsibility to share the gospel, but I wanted to do it in a way that those around me could look at me, and see all they needed to know about me. That the clothes on my back would represent the one who died for me, and lives to this day. Christ Collection originally began as Castro Collections which started in the spare bedroom of my parent’s house. Getting all the financial support I could, I worked extremely hard to bring this company where it is today, along with the help and prayers from the community in my life. I now strive each day to pull closer to God’s word and use it as an inspiration for my next idea that you can too wear and make a difference in somebody else’s life.

Purpose 

As humans we all get to a point in our lives where we ask ourselves, “What is my purpose?” “Where do I go whenever I die?” And with our bible as truth, we find that we either go to heaven or hell. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and placed me on this earth to give hope to the ones around me, that one day we will all spend eternity in heaven with the God of the universe.  With eternity ahead of us, it is important to take this more seriously than anything we face on this temporary earth, and try to save as many people as we can. As I grew further in my relationship with my creator and sought to abide in his laws as best I could, I felt a heavy responsibility in my heart to share the good news with everybody I could touch. Christ Collection was created to spread the word of God in a way that would directly impact my generation and inspire those around me, purely to save the souls of others, and seek nothing for my own gain.

With this opportunity I have been given by God, I create oversized tees, footwear and other streetwear products in hopes to, as Mark 16:15 says, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” I pray that as you come across this website, that you know you are LOVED! I thank you for all the support and patience as my company just started January 2023, and can’t wait to see you rocking Christ Collection!
