Director of Women's
Ministry at her church in Chilliwack, BC Canada. The many seasons of ministry she has experienced
have helped shape her into a different kind of ministry artist, flexible and sensitive to people of all ages.
Her desire is to come alongside YOU and YOUR Ministry! She has experienced God's miraculous hand
of healing, as well as some dark seasons of pain. She has been sharing the hope
of Christ via her speaking, music, worship leading and piano concerts with churches,
conferences and retreats through- out North America. As an inspirational pianist,
her ministry as a "wordless evangelist" is expanding rapidly to seeker-friendly events,
gift-shops and even the New Age market. If interested in booking her for your next
event, please ask for her FREE E-MAIL PRESS KIT and Ministry Agreement today!

ABOUT DEBBIE FORTNUM... Since 1998, Debbie has been used extensively as a keynote speaker, worship leader, and guest soloist for women's events, women’s retreats & conferences, national & international events, and evangelistic crusades. Her personal story, message and music are woven together to form a unique and heart-warming package of encouragement. You may have heard of Debbie’s ministry during Beth Moore's first visit to Canada, OR her moving story of illness and subsequent healing as a child in Jill Briscoe's publication "Just Between Us" Magazine, or "The Alliance Life". Maybe you heard her song "I Know the Plans" sung by either herself in North America OR by Bobby Michaels in Africa, OR by Yashir in Europe! Or maybe you've heard Debbie at one of her many fundraising events for Cancer or AIDS Orphans in Africa / Asia. A description of her most requested speaking topics and themes are below.

The great Cellist, Gaspar Cassada (who went on to mentor Benjamin Zander, conductor of the Boston Philharmonic).
He said this in his wonderful book, “The Art of Possibility”: “I’m so sorry for you; your lives have been so easy.
You can’t play great music unless your heart’s been broken.”

Just e-mail us with the subject, "Piggy Back List" and give us your full Name(s) / Event Info and Contact Numbers. Info@FarAwayWorship.com

EVENT PLANNING NOTES:
We encourage your planning team to organize a strong PRAYER effort behind your hosting of Debbie’s Ministry. We’ll never quite be able to express how necessary, felt and appreciated this is!

Also, the promotion / advertising / marketing of a ministry event should be as well planned and thoroughly executed as possible. It should be as far reaching as possible in the areas of geography and radio / internet / media coverage. It is amazing how far Debbie's Far Away Friends/Fans/Supporters will travel to a ministry event – IF THEY KNOW ABOUT IT!

Event Organizers: If you are prepared to invest in the Kingdom by investing your time, resources, energy and prayer into notifying as many as possible, we believe your efforts will be well worth it! Don’t ever underestimate the power of a single “personal invitation” to these events. Debbie is simply one part in the ongoing process of worship, evangelism and discipleship. (This is her area of educational training!) Partnering with YOU for the sake of the King -- and His Kingdom -- together, is truly what Debbie's ministry is all about!

Psalm 5:11 “Let all who take refuge in You be glad: let them ever sing for joy. Spread Your protection over them, that those who love Your Name may rejoice in You!”
