Debbi was called to ministry mid-life, and aspires to serve as a missionary sharing the love and mercy was shown to her by God. She has been an RN since 1987, and became a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2005 for the purpose of serving in ministry.

 

Debbi joined staff at Oklahoma City First Church of the Nazarene in April 2006 after serving in many capacities as a lay volunteer with the Church of the Nazarene. She holds a Bachelor of Science from Southern Nazarene University and a Master of Science from the University of Oklahoma.

 

Debbi and her husband Dale are partners in leading many ministry projects locally, regionally and globally. This family truly enjoys being in friendship with believers around the world, leading Work & Witness teams to the epicenter of suffering, and doing it all together. With the help and support of her family, Debbi has led Work & Witness teams since 2002.

 

In 2009, Debbi was part of the development team that started LUKA International Foundation. She currently serves as President of the organization and works daily to develop and implement sustainable, Life-giving solutions for families in developing communities in Africa and Haiti.

 

But at the end of every day, Dale and Debbi are honored and so thankful to parent their four children, Josh, Zack, Kaleb and Hope, one precious daughter-in-law Katie, and their amazingly wonderful grandson, Gavin.
