Ben and Bekah

Ben and Bekah joined the staff of Victory in 2014 during the WildHeart Adventure Camp.

They’ve had the privilege of being involved in children’s ministries since they were young teenagers. It was while Ben was working at a summer camp for children in NC that the Lord began directing his heart towards young men that need extra guidance in life.

After receiving his bachelor’s degree in education from West Coast Baptist College in 2012, Ben taught in a Christian school for two years while staying active in camp ministry during the summer.

The Lord eventually combined his desires for at risk boys and camp ministry by giving him a burden for a boarding home style of program. Shortly thereafter, God opened the door for he and Bekah to move to Victory.

They are excited to see the Lord work in their lives and in the lives of the young men they will have the joy and privilege to work with.

“OUTDOOR EXPERIENCES TEND TO PRODUCE TENSIONS IN AN INDIVIDUAL’S LIFE THAT CAN OFTEN TRIGGER RESPONSES THAT CAN BE EVALUATED AND CHANGED IN THE LIGHT OF GOD’S WORD.”
