Becky Hallman
Women’s Ministry
Born and raised on Oahu, Becky committed her life to Christ as a young girl but made a wholehearted commitment to the Lord during her college years. Becky met Bob at Calvary Chapel Honolulu where they worked in the youth and singles’ ministries until they realized they didn’t want to be single anymore! After marrying in 1987, they moved to the northeast where Pastor Bob graduated with a Masters of Divinity and Becky with a Masters in Special Education.
While in New York, the Lord graciously blessed Bob and Becky with two sons, Jonathan and Michael. In 1996, after ten years of ministry in the northeast, they responded to the Holy Spirit’s call to return to the Hawaiian Islands to pastor Calvary Chapel Kauai. Having spent many years growing up in the islands, they initially didn’t want to come home. But trusting God’s wisdom, they moved to Kauai and now they can’t imagine living anywhere else! They absolutely love Kauai and the wonderful work God is doing in and through the people at Calvary Chapel Kauai!
Becky’s busy life includes homeschooling her teenage sons, partnering with Pastor Bob in ministry, running the family’s housing rentals and hosting various dinners and Bible studies. She also oversees Women’s Ministry and partners with Pastor Bob in teaching Kauai Bible College’s discipleship classes, developing Ohana Fellowship Leaders and raising up and equipping women leaders in the areas of discipling, leading small groups and counseling.
In her spare time, Becky enjoys biking (she’s taken many bicycle tours in the islands and on the mainland), writing (she is currently finishing her first book), hiking, going on adventures with her family and spending time with friends! Being the only woman in the house, she’s learned to embrace all things “manly” – backwoods camping, handling firearms (she’s an excellent shot), dressing pigs, cooking wild game and doing very entertaining impressions (animals, guns, bombs) that make the men in her family proud!
