Speaker: Rebecca Small
Rebecca Small has been a student of the Bible for many years and loves to encourage believers with the life-giving truths of God’s Word. She is the mother of 7, and currently the grandmother of 18. Over the years, Rebecca and her husband have been involved in various ministries, including church planting and discipleship in the Philippines, pastoring a growing church in Texas, serving in Christian camps in Alaska and Washington, and assisting at a family retreat center. Their time overseas set her on a path of homeschooling that lasted for 33 years. Through the trials of life, including the deaths of her oldest son and her husband, Rebecca has drawn from the rich treasure of God’s grace. She has taught homeschool classes, women’s retreats, and home Bible studies. Reading, writing, hiking, singing, and playing the harp are her favorite pastimes. Primarily she would like to be known as a fellow pilgrim on the compelling and sometimes arduous journey of trust in a loving, sovereign, faithful God.
