Bob Knapp
Bob Knapp is the West Africa Director for She Is Safe (SIS), an international organization that frees and empowers women and girls from abuse and exploitation in high risk places around the globe. He works closely with indigenous organizations to prevent, rescue and restore victims. Bob says that he sees these abuses hidden in every society, and enjoys highlighting the good news of what God is doing to bring hope and new life.
Bob’s international experience began when he served in the Marine Corps in Okinawa, Philippines and Vietnam. Bob and his wife, Sandi, served in Haiti in the 80’s, multiple countries in Europe, and then India with Operation Mobilization (OM) and Youth With A Mission (YWAM) through evangelism and church planting.
Bob has been recognized as a leader, serving as elder and International Ministries Pastor for Eastview Christian Church in Normal, Illinois. Bob also brings 29 years of business management and ownership to his current cross-cultural work.
His insights into the issues in Muslim lands come from the trenches. In impoverished countries where girls are last to get food and medical care, and often sold to visiting businessmen, Bob seeks to address the root causes of their suffering by fostering grassroots initiatives that equip the oppressed with skills to build new lives in Christ. Working with the church in Timbuktu, Bob stewards SIS partnerships to offer literacy skills, clinics and women’s health and nutrition education, vocational training and Biblical training for abused and exploited girls and women.
Along with his international work, Bob is a moving communicator: speaking at conferences, retreats, clubs and churches inviting people to participate in combating the evil of injustice against women and girls by leveraging our talents and blessings for a powerful, united voice for the voiceless.
Bob and Sandi have worked side by side in business and ministry for 36 years. Â Sandi is on staff at Eastview Christian Church organizing and leading short term international teams. Â They live in Normal, Illinois and have four grown children and four grandchildren.
