We asked Rebecca a few questions to help you get to know a little more about her.
What are two unique things you like to do?
My grandma taught me to crochet and when I have free time, I like to make fun stuff for my friends and family. I also love to play soccer, I still get to play in an adult league.
What is your favorite meal?
I never grew up eating seafood, but now I love it and I never get sick of it. I especially like sushi! I also love Indian food – Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken with Naan bread. Yum!
What is your favorite movie?
Remember the Titans
In your home, where do you spend the most of your time?
In our living room curled up on our comfy couch, but lately I have been out in the garage working on creative projects.
What is something on your bucket list?
Travel to Thailand and ride an elephant, and while I am there be a part of the Thai Lantern Festival.
What are you most passionate about when it comes to caring for vulnerable children?
I want them to know that they are loved and have value. Everyone wants to be known and feel safe. Vulnerable children especially need this. I love being able to love on and invest in vulnerable children whether it means advocating for them through Village to Village, spending time with them at the Boys and Girls Club, holding them at the orphanage in India, or adopting (Lord willing, in our future). My hope is that through my actions they are able to realize the infinite love Jesus has for them and how unique and special He has made each and every one of them.
Where did you grow up?
Suburbs of Chicago, Naperville to be exact.
What college did you attend and what degree did you receive?
Indiana Wesleyan University, my degree was in Exercise Science.
How did you meet your husband, Erik?
We were both on the soccer team at Indiana Wesleyan.
