Missionaries reflecting on mission service – Rebecca Duerst

Posted on March 15, 2011 by Franklin Ishida

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.
