Eric and Rebekah answered God’s call into international missions through the official founding of ro|twelve Ministries in the fall of 2017. While development of the ministry began as mere seeds of “what if” thoughts in early 2015, those seeds were sewn in intense prayer and gradually grew over the next few years as Rebekah spent increasing time serving in international fields all over the globe. God continued leading the couple in trust and dependance upon Him to pursue the mission that has now become ro|twelve Ministries- a growing 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to training, exhorting, and equipping missionaries outside the typical model, and providing them opportunities to share the love of Jesus through conventional and unconventional ministry avenues, both nationally and internationally. In 2020, the ministry had grown enough that Rebekah left her staff position in church ministry to continue development of ro|twelve full-time. After a short two years of tremendous growth despite pandemic chaos, God called Eric to join in full-time service and the couple will begin serving as the ministry’s first international field missionaries in the spring of 2023.
Eric and Rebekah met and began their relationship as teenagers. They have been married for more than 26 years and have two adult children. Their daughter, Haylee, graduated from VA Tech in 2020, enjoys working for Disney, and is planning a winter 2023 wedding with fiancé, Jordan. The couple’s son, Bryce, completed his undergrad in religious studies at the University of Tennessee in 2021 and is currently working towards a masters degree in student affairs. Because of their passionate belief in the incredible power of children’s ministry, Eric and Rebekah hope to have many grandchildren some day with whom they can share the Gospel and love of Jesus!
