“The Todd Becker Foundation story began on February 6, 2005 when 18 year-old Todd Becker was tragically killed in an alcohol related car accident as a senior in high school. The shock and devastation from that tragedy forced Todd’s brother, Keith, to examine and deeply consider the direction of his life. Shortly after Todd’s funeral, at age 20, a local pastor reached out to Keith and shared the Truth of God’s Word, which ultimately resulted in Keith committing his life to Jesus Christ.  From that, the Todd Becker Foundation was born. For over 20 years now, the Todd Becker Foundation and its team has partnered with almost 2000 local churches throughout the Midwest to take the message that changed Keith’s life, the Gospel, into their hometown public schools.  God has used the ministry to reach 15 states and thousands of people with the life-changing word of God.  Through the growth over the last two decades, the ministries mission remains the same: Partner with the local church to reach a public high school with the gospel of Christ.

In 2016 the STINT Internship was developed as a “discipleship branch” of the Todd Becker Foundation’s ministry. Students join the team for nine months with no cost to the student. STINT Interns are provided with their own bedroom in an apartment, a monthly food stipend and a cost free program so that they can come and focus solely on growing in their faith. Over the duration of the internship, the student will experience God in ways that they never have before. Interns are challenged to grow in everything from learning how to share the Gospel at the major outreach events to developing their own personal testimonies. Over the years of the program’s existence the program has been successful in developing a firm foundation for young people that have gone on to the next steps of life. STINT has commissioned missionaries, youth ministers, counselors, welders, truck drivers, teachers, college students, mothers and much more to be equipped and grounded in the word of God as they move in to the next season of their life!”
