Rebecca supports the ministries of AIM workers and their families through teaching 7th grade life science and 9th/10th grade biology at Rift Valley Academy, Kenya. 

Rebecca is from Northern Ireland but was living and working in Glasgow, Scotland. Rebecca’s first experience of cross-cultural mission was as a small child when her family served in Nepal. Growing Up in a Christian family that served in full-time ministry, involvement in God’s mission was a normal part of everyday life. As a teenager, however, God specifically laid Africa and ministry amongst young people on her heart.

God further confirmed Rebecca’s call to serve in an overseas cross-cultural context through a gap year spent working with and in support of a mission community in Kathmandu, Nepal. This included having time working with KISC, an international school for the children of missionaries. Having studied chemistry in Glasow, Rebecca then obtained her teaching qualification and she was previously working as a chemistry teacher in a school on the outskirts of Glasgow.

Now in her second year at RVA, Rebecca is loving being a part of the AIM team at Rift Valley Academy (RVA) in Kijabe, Kenya. RVA is AIM’s school which educates and disciples students from missionary families serving across Africa.  She is also enjoying building relationships with staff and students and to contributing to the student’s learning through the academic programme. RVA provides far more than just academic learning and Rebecca has loved coming along students through coaching sport, mentoring and weekend activities.
