Rebecca Santos: Ministry Protection for Children and Youth

Here is the video replay of our July 2023 Lunch and Learn at the MBA Missionary Resource Center. Rebecca is Communications Director at the Evangelical Council for Abuse Prevention (ECAP). 

"Child abuse. It’s the unspeakable done to the most vulnerable in our society. As Ministry Leaders, how do we prevent abuse? How do we spot it when it’s happening? What are our responsibilities when we suspect it? What precautions can I put up within my ministry to prevent predators from perpetrating? How do I identify grooming behaviors? We discuss this difficult topic and the resources available through ECAP to prevent child abuse in the Christian ministry context."

Rebecca Santos joined ECAP at the beginning of 2023 as their Communications Director after serving in Corporate America for 18 years in a variety of management, business consulting, and event planning assignments. She has served for over five years at her local church in both Nursery Coordinator and VBS Director capacities. Her role within ECAP is to create awareness by educating the Evangelical community on how to create an ironclad child protection program for their ministries. She has presented to hundreds of ministry leaders to bring awareness and educate them on the atrocities of child abuse. She presently resides in Jacksonville, FL where she enjoys gardening and spending time with her husband, children, and pets.
