Hope Reigns Eternal
Protect - Heal - Encourage
Passion blended with a dynamic presentation style is what you will get when you invite Debi to be a part of your next community or faith-based program. Debi Trumbull is a person on a mission to bring hope and healing to everyone challenged by life's adversities. Over the past twenty-five years she has dedicated her life to preventing and helping others overcome the damaging effects of child abuse, substance abuse and domestic violence. In her book- A Thousand Voices in the Night: Healing the Trauma of Childhood Abuse in the Light of Matthew 18- Debi explains the “Thousand Voices in the Night” are friends, neighbors, strangers you pass every day, even family members. They are the wounded whose walk with the Lord has been impacted by abuse, and are searching for answers. They are the hurting with whom God seeks to restore a lasting, loving, healing relationship. Debi knows because for so many years her voice was one of them. Growing up in an abusive home where she endured years of emotional, physical and sexual abuse she often wondered where God was in her life, and if He ever heard her prayers. If He did hear, did He really care? Yet hers is not a story of defeat, but of victory! Debi will infect you with her zest for life, her deep and abiding faith in Jesus Christ and her passion for helping others as she shares her remarkable story of a life truly redeemed. Debi has served with a number of various agencies and organizations including: the Army Family Advocacy Program, the National Children’s Advocacy Center, the Huntsville Association for Pastoral Care, Partnership for a Drug Free Community, and the Mental Health Center of Madison County. As a regional trainer with the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church she has assisted numerous churches of various denominations throughout Alabama develop policies and procedures to protect children in their care. Since 1992 she has facilitated support groups for adult survivors of childhood abuse. Debi holds a Masters Degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Texas. She resides in Athens, Alabama with her husband Harry, and is the proud mother of daughters Kimberly & Kristin.

I have heard Debi make numerous effective speeches! Debi Trumbull is a great speaker, who is: Heartfelt, professional, caring, knowledgeable, interesting, and courageous. Debi speaks about—Living a full life after being abused as a child! Debi is a passionate advocate for children, families, and abuse survivors. The disciple of Jesus who I most relate to is Thomas. While I love great speeches, it is not words, but action that makes believe or disbelieve the words that come out of a speaker’s mouth. Here’s what I have seen from Debi since I met her almost two years ago—Consistent practice of The Golden Rule. Debi treats everyone in our group with dignity, love, and respect, regardless of personality, race, political beliefs, and all the other silly things that we sometimes use to divide ourselves as a society. To me, Debi exhibits Christ like love through her actions and behavior.

Debi Trumbull has just the right blend of head and heart to make her an excellent choice for many different events. Her organization skills are beyond compare; she is always prepared, professional and presents even complex ideas in a way that audiences can connect with and remember. But it is her passion -- particularly for those who have struggled spiritually and emotionally due to childhood abuse -- that comes through most clearly. Debi's faith is a shining example of God's ability to bring joy and peace in the midst of life's storms ... and don't we all go through storms now and then?

Debi grew up experiencing the pain and trauma of sexual abuse. It shaped her life negatively until she met Christ as a young adult. Since this defining transformation she has made it her life’s goal and passion to minister to those who have endured similar situations. She knows the power of healing prayer and has the gift of encouragement. Amazingly she has written a book where she is transparent about her life and all God has brought her through. She easily resonates with her audience especially those who have experienced hurts from trusted loved ones.
