Becky was raised in Malawi, Africa by missionary parents. Becky and her husband Dave have three children and have lived all over the world, including Detroit, Orlando, Bangladesh, Knoxville, and finally Des Moines! Wherever they have lived God has given Becky a place of service where she feels she has received much more than she has given, and learned more than she has taught. It's a joy for her to learn from the women of Valley as we share our faith journeys and reach out to the world around us!
