Rebecca is a JET this summer at Crestridge and is SO excited to see all that the Lord is going to do!

What is something you could give a 20 minute presentation about no hesitation?

Spoken word poetry. The musicality of the words, the intertwined metaphors, the vivid images…I’m OBSESSED!

POV you're driving down the Blue Ridge Parkway. Windows down. What song are you listening to?

Let Things Go by Caamp. I feel like it pairs well with mountain air and feeling refreshed! :)

When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be an Olympic swimmer by day and a missionary in China by night (because fun fact: I have been learning to speak Mandarin since I was little!).

What's your favorite Bible story?

I love the Parable of the Mustard Seed in Matthew 13. It is a beautiful example of how even the smallest amount of initial faith can have the most powerful impact!

As the Lord is preparing your heart for this summer, what's your biggest prayer?

My biggest prayer for this summer is for every camper to be uniquely ministered to according to their needs. I am SO excited to hear the incredible stories of how God is working in their lives, and I also pray that they feel the sweet joy of the Lord while they are at camp!
