Rebecca Chavez

Executive Director, Ordained Bible teacher and speaker

I am married to my best friend Gerry Chavez, who is the lead pastor of Christ’s Church, and we make our home in Roswell, New Mexico. I have two sons, Nick who studies at Texas Tech University and Benjamin who is married to Nicole. I have one grandson named Beckham and he has stolen my heart!

Before being married I lived in Jerusalem from 1985 – 1987 with a heart to serve and stand with the people of Israel based on what I feel is a biblical mandate according to Genesis 12:2-3. Since that time I return several times a year to serve God through loving and aiding the people of Israel.

I am driven; I admit it, although my husband would term it “intense”! I am relentless to love what God loves and Intimacy with Him is my highest goal.

Request Rebecca to Speak at Your Event

I serve on the leadership team for Women’s Ministry at my home church. I love to encourage and launch people into their God given gifts and passions through the power of the Holy Spirit and the intentional study of the Scripture.  As a result I have written many original Bible studies, “Stringing Pearls” a study on Ruth, “The Chamber” a study on the Song of Solomon, and “Deborah the Brave” based on Deborah the Prophetess just to name a few. I love to teach at events and retreats based on the word of God that transforms lives.

I founded Deborah The Brave Ministries and The Deborah Project based on the inspiring story of the prophetess and Judge of Israel Deborah, who is called the mother heart of Israel. I also serve on several boards and leadership positions that serve the people of Israel.

Growing up in a divorced home, raised by a single mom, experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and Anxiety as an adult I believe have made me a more compassionate person and in a small way allowed me to identify with the lost and broken. We are all equally in need of God’s love and mercy. I am also a firm believer in and have experienced the healing hand of God available to all through the sacrifice of Christ on the cross.

I also believe without the support of other ‘Deborah’ spirited friends I would never have launched out to find my voice and step out into the unknown of starting a ministry and outreach project. To them and my church community, I am eternally grateful. God is raising up modern day Deborah’s, mothers and fathers willing to fight for faith, family and freedom in Christ who are empowered by The Holy Spirit, and become all God intended them to be.

I love walking the streets of Jerusalem, the beach, a great cup of coffee with great conversation, diving into a new study book and I must add, it’s always a good idea to have a few pushy friends!!
