Meet Becki Leyenaar. She enjoys quality time with people, she loves playing games and making puns. She is a graduate of Philosophy at Tyndale University in Toronto. Becki was first introduced to CrossTrainers through the Hub Youth Centre when she was a youth. She then experienced their Training for Life summer camp ministry.

Before long, she was playing in the CrossTrainers band, and travelling to New Hampshire with their camp ministry. Becki has a huge passion for youth and to share this REAL Jesus with them. She desires to see youth come to understand the JOY, LOVE, PEACE and GRACE that God blesses us with through Jesus. Becki truly enjoys people recognizing Jesus in their lives.
