Caleb and Rebekah W.

A common thread runs through Caleb and Rebecca's lives: love for God's Word. Both of their parents encouraged them to read, study, and memorize God's Word. When Caleb was in college, his biblical interpretation classes made the Bible come alive. Although Rebekah dreamed of being a missionary in her childhood, Caleb never seriously considered missions until a college trip to Asia. He saw not only the world's spiritual needs, but also he saw how some people groups have very limited access to the Bible.

After Caleb graduated from seminary, he and Rebekah visited Southeast Asia. They saw the need for training young men and women to reach remote islands that have no access to the gospel. Caleb teaches theology classes to students and assists in training them for evangelism on the islands around them. They have found that distributing resources like solar-powered audio Bibles is an effective way to engage the local people who would never otherwise be able to read the Bible for themselves. By mobilizing church planters through Bible resources and training, they hope to see each of the thousand islands around them reached with the Gospel.
