As with most Christians, Deb has faced many adversities in life.  She views these hardships as opportunities to minister to both believers and non-believers, especially in the areas of infertility, death, divorce, and remarriage.  Her desire as a Christian writer and speaker is to utilize her spiritual growth experiences to offer hope and effect change in the lives of her readers.  One of her prized possessions is an 1899 copy of her favorite book In His Steps by Charles Sheldon.  This book  has influenced Christians for more than 100 years and her personally since the day she discovered it.

Deb is actively involved at Tannehill Valley Baptist Church , where she has served as Women’s Ministry Coordinator and Ladies Sunday School Teacher.  She currently co-leads  Visual Truth, the student drama ministry team.  This position allows her to write and direct many skits as well as special Easter, Christmas, and summer dramas.

Over the years, Deb has facilitated many Beth Moore Bible Studies.  In 2004, she led a Freedom Jubilee weekend conference, where she taught her Bible Study - The Fight for Freedom to more than fifty women.

She and her husband  love to travel.  Over the years, they have cruised Alaska and both the Eastern and Western Caribbean .  She has visited nineteen of the fifty U.S. states and plans to travel cross-country after retirement.  Of all the places they have seen, Lake Tahoe is their favorite vacation spot.  While Andy enjoys the slopes at Heavenly, Deb prefers curling up in front of a warm fire while reading or writing.  

Deb would love the opportunity to minister to your women.  If you would like to arrange for her to speak to your group or lead a weekend retreat, please contact her via mail or email.   She does not charge a fee for coming to your event.  She only asks that you cover her expenses and provide whatever love offering you feel is appropriate.
