Rebekkah Pohl
Story
PSYCHOLOGIST · PREACHER · AUTHOR · WORSHIPPER
Rebekkah grew up bilingually (English & German) as the eldest daughter of two pastors and lives in Munich. Even as a child, her heart's desire was that people worldwide would experience Jesus personally and live in an intimate relationship with Him & in unity with the Holy Spirit.
She was only 7 years old when she was diagnosed with a severe form of a Crohn's like disease and 13 years of survival followed. When she underwent a stem cell transplant at the age of 17, she fell into an induced coma after two emergency operations. Three weeks later, she woke up and learned for the first time what Jesus meant when he said: ”The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.“ (John 10:10 NIV).
After years of survival and nearly dying, she is alive today and tries to empower others with the message Jesus imprinted on her heart: There is a life in abundance waiting for us in every phase of life. After a sabbatical with Jesus, she studied psychology, began leading the youth in her parents' christian free church "Quelltor" (meaning “fountain gate”) and travels as a speaker and preacher, with the aim of encouraging all generations to leave everything behind & follow Jesus wholeheartedly.
Her longing is to bring heaven to earth and people to God. For that, she uses her gift of moving hearts with words (preaching, singing, or in psychological settings), her sensitive way of perceiving the individual and making room for the Holy Spirit to move, wherever she is. As a visionary and pioneer, she leads people into God's presence and is convinced that where Jesus is, people experience healing and freedom. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, singing, writing poems or songs, working out or delicious coffee & food - alone with Jesus, her fiancé, her family or in community with others.
