Rebecca taught science in Namibia at Oshigambo High School. She did this for a couple years following studies that led to a PhD in molecular biology and immunology as well as a master’s in teaching. For Rebecca, mission service was a way for taking her into the realm of the practical, a way to serving God and church. After her mission service with the ELCA, she began studies in public health in order to further engage in global mission.

I just studied abroad in Namibia and it was an experience that I wouldn’t give up for anything. What area of the country was the school you served? In the north?

This video helps me reflect back on my experiences from OHS, and I recall the school community looking out for each other. When there were unexpected water shortages or freshly made popcorn, students and teachers would share the burden & happiness.
