Debbie Ward

 

Debbie Ward serves as the U.S. National Mentor and represents MotherWise by speaking for various events. Debbie and her husband, Steve, lead on-going FatherWise and MotherWise classes in their church, Houston Northwest Baptist Church.They have recently begun traveling together on international trips to train up leaders in other countries using the FatherWise and MotherWise materials.

Debbie’s roots with MotherWise go back to 1986, when she was a Mentoring Mom for some of the earliest MotherWise classes in Houston.  After that, God moved Debbie’s family to Anchorage, Alaska in 1988 where they lived for 12 years. After returning to Texas in 2000, Debbie immediately began working beside Denise in MotherWise. Debbie now represents MotherWise by speaking to groups, sharing the knowledge and wisdom she has gained through years of mothering and ministry. She has also had the privilege of going on several international trips to train women how to use the MotherWise materials.

Debbie and Steve, celebrated 31 years of marriage on April 22, 2008. They have 3 children. Stephen is a graduate of Texas A&M and is married to Emily. Debbie is a proud grandmother to their two precious boys, Titus Gabriel and Quinten James.  They are her joy and delight! Cherie is a graduate of the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and teaches elementary P.E. in the Cy-Fair School District in Houston, Tx.  Candace graduated with her associate degree in Interior Design from Harrington College of Design in Chicago in August 2008 and is continuing her studies in International Studies.

Debbie has been a Christian since she was a young child and was reared in the home of a Baptist minister of music, but for years struggled with believing that God really does love her. After hearing Denise share the message of Restore My Heart, Debbie is excited to share with other women her joy about the love God wants to lavishly pour into a woman’s life!

Denise Glenn’s endorsement of Debbie Ward:

“For three years, Debbie Ward was mentored and trained to speak for the Ministry of MotherWise. As she traveled with me, we prayed and discussed how to adjust the material just for that specific group where I was speaking. God used that time to prepare Debbie to step into the role of speaker…and what a gifted speaker she is! I love the way Debbie’s gentle spirit comes through her powerful testimony of God’s great love. Debbie’s university training in education combined with her spiritual gift of teaching, allows her to freely relate to women right at their point of need. Since she grew up in a minister’s home she’s equipped to adapt to many different church settings. Debbie’s merciful heart expresses itself as she shares strong Biblical truths with compassion. She is able to use sign language, music, and multimedia to strengthen her presentation in unique ways that are interesting and engaging. Debbie is a humble servant of the Lord, but is filled with passion about sharing the message of freedom in Christ.”
