KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS

OUR BRATAS IN LIFE
Brata is a Creole word for an unmerited surprise gift or extra bonus. Little did Becky realize when she was growing up in the little Caribbean country of Belize how God would use that word to show His grace when her world came crashing down around her 20 years later. This is her very touching and humorous account of life as a MK (missionary kid), her near loss of husband and child, and her realization that Jesus Christ is our all-sufficiency and everything else He gives us are bratas.

LAUGHTER, GOD'S BEST MEDICINE
This is a hilarious seminar, using signs, props, real-life stories and comedy, teaching us how to look for the humor all around us. Becky has come to believe that God wants us to keep everything in perspective - including the ability to laugh at oneself - and that "a merry heart does good, like medicine."

CHOOSING SOVEREIGN JOY
This is an exciting look at the blessings that come from a life lived in the “greater joy” that God promises in Psalm 4:7. In this presentation Becky defines sovereign joy, explains how to cultivate it, and identifies the four sabotaging joy-killers. She teaches through both Scripture and her personal experience how to see the sovereign hand of God bringing us joy through the events of our lives.
