Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all.
Ephesians 4:3-6
Deb Holland was born in Nurnberg, Germany. Her father was career Army, so most of her childhood was spent living on military bases. While stationed in Hawaii her father was sent to Vietnam. Deb, her mom, and her four brothers moved back to Nebraska to be close to family. Her father was killed in Vietnam which changed the family forever. During Deb’s junior year in high school, she accepted the gospel, claiming Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
Deb graduated from Deshler High School and attended the University of Nebraska. She graduated with a teaching degree. She served as a public-school teacher and coach for 42 years. Her mission was always to love Jesus, love others, and love learning. Deb sponsored Fellowship of Christian Athletes at all of the schools she served. After retiring from teaching Deb moved to Lincoln, Nebraska where she served as a part-time PE teacher at Christ Lincoln School.
Deb has always supported missions as a sender. She has many friends serving all over the world. Supporting and praying for missionaries holds a special place in her heart. Recently, Deb started asking God if she was meant to go on mission. He answered with an overwhelming YES!
Deb Holland will serve with a team of other missionaries at Concordia Middle School in Chiayi, Taiwan. There she will teach ESL and Bible lessons and works to share the Good News of the Gospel through relationships with students and families. Please pray for her as she serves on the mission field abroad.
