it deals with internal faith differences.

(Fuller Theological Seminary). Deborah has ministered the
Word throughout this country and in many other nations around
the world.
Dr. Gill is very committed to advancing spiritual formation.
She served as National Director of the Division of Christian
Education and Commissioner of Discipleship from 2002-2006
and is presently developing discipleship coaching materials.
Deborah is also an advocate for women in ministry and leadership.
She helped found the Fellowship for Credentialed Women (Minnesota

and serves on the Network for Women in Ministry Steering
Committee and on the gender issue group (IG24) of the Lausanne
Committee for World Evangelization. In addition to contributing
articles to journals and study Bibles, and chapters to Festschriften,
Dr. Gill wrote “The Pastoral Epistles” in Life
in the Spirit New Testament Commentary (Zondervan), and
co-authored God’s Women—Then and Now (presently
in its 2nd English edition and Tamil translation [OM Authentic

process). A Study Guide for the book will be out this
spring.
Deborah loves the local church and has
served in volunteer and staff positions in music, education,

ministries, and in singles, youth, and associate pastoral
roles. For thirteen years, she pastored the New Americans
