Bit About Me

DeDe resides in the beautiful Willamette Valley in Oregon. She has the FB_IMG_1647134495319 - Copy awesome privilege of writing an online weekly devotional teaching.  (You can also catch her on Facebook: Inspired Fountain FB page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1297574648265294). She leads women’s bible studies and has served on the leadership team of her local church and the leadership team of ERF School of Ministry (https://www.erfschoolofministry.com/). She is an ordained minister and loves officiating weddings and speaking at women’s events.

Her passion is Jesus and His word.  She sincerely desires to have that become contagious to others, holding a degree in Theology, yet for her, that is NOT enough, it is a lifetime of wonderful God revelations, a student of the Word FIRST, then a teacher.

“DeDe is masterful in the art of the word smith. Her gift of articulating complex truth in practical and useful terms is refreshing to the soul and challenging to the mind. In addition, her grasp of original languages takes the reader into a deeper understanding and appreciation of God’s word.”  ~ Tom Fox, Senior Pastor of Lakepoint Community Church, Keizer, Oregon.

“We have so enjoyed the insightful devotionals from the pen of DeDe for the past few years.  We have known her since her mid-teens and are delighted to see her develop this wonderful gift.  Her writing is light, but deep; easy to understand, yet profound; full of humor, but with a serious message.  May multitudes be blessed by the wisdom gems that flow from Heaven through our dear friend, DeDe!   ~ Pastors Ben and Brenda Peters, founders and directors of Open-Heart Ministries and Kingdom Sending Center, authors and conference speakers.  Chicago, IL.

“DeDes preaching, brings God’s word in such a refreshing and passionate way, that captivates the hearts and souls of everyone!”      ~ Gerry Graves, Director of Senior Adults Ministry, Evergreen Christian Center, Hillsboro Oregon

Dede writes with an inspiration of the heart that yearns to know God… And yet she presents the Word of God in a way that is believable and also live-able! Keep the insights coming!” ~ Pastor Bill Wedel, founder of Sparrows Nest Ministries, B.C. Canada

    DeDe… I read somewhere that you are looking for a job… and I say that you have a beautiful gift of writing, one that brings God close to your readers.

    So here’s the deal

    Do you have a PayPal account set up where me and others like me… could click on a easy button and give to your ministry?
