Rebekah is passionate about global youth ministry and believes wholeheartedly that young people can know God deeply and be active participants in his work in the world. From her own experience, she knows that having a trained youth worker can radically impact the life of a young person to not only improve their life but to help them live out their calling as a follower of Christ. Sadly, most youth do not have access to a trained youth worker. Rebekah feels honored to be a part of YouthHOPE and work to train and care for youth workers all around the world who will then have an impact on the youth in their context.
