“I have but one candle of life to burn,
and I would rather burn it out
in a land filled with darkness
than in a land flooded with light.”

a physical representation of the heartbeat of God
I was 9 years old when God whispered to my spirit in a simple 3rd grade classroom that He wanted me to be a missionary in Africa. I did not speak to anyone about that moment. Not until I was 12 years old when I told my mother after one of our bedtime devotionals.
My journey since, has been one of pursuing this call and following the path that would lead to touching hearts that needed to hear about the love of God. I have a deep love for children and have always found myself serving in all different kinds of ministries where children are involved. My passion is also to simply serve. At a young age, I knew the meaning of the name, Rebecca, which means “servant of God”. I took that meaning seriously and have asked God to allow me to serve Him in whatever way He desires.
I am in love with the heartbeat of God, and that is to spread the message of hope to the ends of the earth. God has kept and sustained me since the moment I was conceived. He had a purpose attached to my life and my goal is to hear from Him, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
for an increasingly redeemed and transformed Africa
During my two years in Zambia, I will be helping with the kids programs being held in different villages throughout the region.
There is not a lot of ministry provided for both the children and the youth, so a main focus for me will be to start different projects that are geared towards the next generation.
The National African Church is trying to build up who they are as a ministry for the next generation and I will be assisting with training leaders throughout Zambia.
At times, I will also have to opportunity to provide administrative support at a school.
On occasion, I will also be assisting with the business programs they provide for the adults in the villages as well as be involved with prison ministry when presented.
As the months pass by, there will be more ministry opportunities that may be presented and I will be sharing them all on this site!
