More About Debbie Friley

---

"Debbie Friley has served with The Navigators in full-time ministry since 1984. Employing her remarkable gift of Evangelism & Discipleship, Debbie has spent the past 35 years ministering to women through the message of the Gospel, one-on-one discipleship, Bible study groups and Leadership training. She is the founder of the “Salt & Light” Discipleship ministry and the Freedom Message "I'm Stuck, But I want to be Free" Her most popular message which has gone all over the world! . As a result, she has enjoyed the tremendous privilege of reproducing, training and multiplying countless spiritual daughters.Debbie has lived in Australia with a team, where she enjoyed living among the Nationals, doing evangelism and discipleship and saw many come to Christ. As a result a wonderful church was birthed. Debbie also spent almost four years living as a missionary in Blagoveshchensk, Russia (located in the Far East in Siberia... 40 below zero weather!) as part of the Co-Mission project. During this time she taught courses in Christian Morals and Ethics in the public schools, led women's Bible studies (including one for English-speaking university students which drew many unbelievers) and assisted in establishing a church for the new believers in that city. Unable to return full time due to government restrictions, Debbie travels in and out of Blagoveshchensk on a tourist visa to continue ministering to the Russians through evangelism, discipleship, mentoring and coaching. Debbie also began in 1999 traveling to China as well and ministering to the Chinese people and also traveling to China to minister to and equip the folks there and working with underground church Leaders. Debbie spent February and March of 2006 in Scotland, Ireland, England and China taking the message of the gospel as well as introducing the "Salt & Light" Discipleship ministry to the folks there. November of 2007 she did the same in Nicaragua taking a team of women she has trained here in the U.S. to lead workshops for their International Women’s Conference where she was the main speaker. They had over 600 women signed up to attend! In addition to the conference they saw many come to Christ & the “Salt & Light” team then trained the Nicaraguan Nationals how to lead “Salt & Light” Discipleship groups. They currently have over 100 “Salt & Light” Discipleship groups meeting weekly, reading through the Bible and memorizing scripture, and studying the Bible using the Bible!While at home in St. Petersburg, Debbie stays in close contact with her Russian friends by phone and e-mail (dfriley@mindspring.com). She also continues her involvement in outreach, Bible studies, Biblical Counseling 1-1 with gals, leadership training and speaking engagements. This includes "I'm Stuck, but I Want to be Free" a powerful message from the book of Romans and Galatians as well as the “Salt & Light” Discipleship Groups, where many groups are meeting weekly to read through the entire Bible at their own pace, memorizing scripture and studying books of the Bible as a team. They meet as a team because as Debbie says as she references Ecclesiastes 4:9-11 “we are better together”. The “Salt & Light groups continue to multiply and grow all over the USA and abroad contributing to the fulfillment of the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 and 2 Timothy 2:2. This ministry is truly a work of God. She welcomes any newcomers. Enjoy checking out her web page www.saltandlightgroup.com .
