Rebekah Brettle : Founder Rebekah is married to Carl and mother to Reuben. She works as a part time GP. She lives in Neath, South Wales. Her work for Neighbourhood Prayer Network is voluntary. She first had part of the vision for Neighbourhood Prayer Network when she was nine years old, staring out of her bedroom window. She became an atheist at 14, but had a dramatic encounter with God aged nineteen that she couldn't dismiss. From 19 to 26 after years of visiting different churches and exploring other faiths, she finally became a Christian on Alpha course at 26 years of age. She has a passion to see greater unity in the church and an end to loneliness and isolation, felt by so many people. |
