Favorite Scripture: 2 Corinthians: 4:5-6
"For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."

 Rebecca Newlin
Administrative Assistant
Rebecca came to the PBA Staff in November of 2005 in the role of Administrative Assistant. In addition to the many administrative duties she takes care of around the office, Rebecca also puts together the PBA monthly newsletter, The Challenger. If you have ever called the PBA, you most likely have been met with Rebecca's gracious voice on the other end and her servant's spirit.
Rebecca, her husband William, and her daughter Sarah (17), live in Burlington, NC where they have more pets than you could imagine. They attend First Baptist Church in Whitsett. She claims her greatest reward is being blessed with her daughter, Sarah, and the one thing she loves doing more than anything else is "spending time with my family."

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
