I'm so glad you stopped by!

I'm Becca, and I am preparing for my second term as a missionary associate. I spent my first 18-month term in Uruguay and Chile working with youth and university students where the Lord formed a passion in my heart for the young people of South America. My goal is to return to Chile this year to continue working with Conexion (university ministry), in a church plant in Santiago, and wherever else the Lord leads me. 

The desire to be involved in ministry began in my teenage years, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would one day be a missionary living 1,000s of miles from home. I grew up in central Florida and had every expecatation of staying there. I studied at Southeastern University, and during my junior year I joined a short-term missions trip to Nicaragua, and Jesus completely changed my desires and plan. From that point on, I asked the Lord to confirm his call, and a few months later, he gave me that confirmation. Fast-forward to December 2017, and I graduate from Southeastern and dive straight into itineration. August 2018 I receive approval to leave, I packed my life into 4 huge boxes and headed to language school to begin my first term. I learned so much during those 18 months and made relationships that will last a lifetime. God continually astounds me as he works and does incredible things through the most adverse circumstances. Whether it is shaky Spanish, plans falling through, or things that break your heart, he has proven himself faithful.

My heart aches to be back and I am looking forward to all that the Lord has in store for this upcoming season in ministry. If you have any questions, would like to get involved, or want to learn more about missions in South America, feel free to send me a message or check out my blog at beccawhittaker.com. 

Hasta pronto!
