Scholarship Recipient George & Helen Bennett Fund for Missionary Service   “What a blessing it has been to receive this scholarship. It has brought so much financial freedom and opens doors on the mission field that weren't open to me before!"   Rebecca (Becca) Thompson has served with Christ for Children, International (CFCI) in Fresnillo, Mexico since June 2003. Her responsibilities include growing the children’s ministry and training new missionaries in the program. She also participates in women’s ministry, especially to younger women between the ages of 20 and 35. She graduated from Wheaton College in December 2001, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology. Mary Dorsett, executive director of CFCI, states “Becca is much loved by missionaries and nationals alike. Her command of Spanish and her practical leadership ministry experience makes her a “sure bet” for “advancing the Kingdom both now and in the future.” Becca had struggled with her undergraduate debt from Wheaton as she was contemplating God’s call to serve overseas. Finally, she decided to step out in faith and go to Mexico in June 2003. From her modest salary, she regularly portioned out payments for her loan. She expressed her amazement at learning about the Bennett Fund for Missionary Service. Tears came to her eyes as she shared how God was faithful to her in providing this award so that she might answer His call and obey the Master. Back | Home | Next
