If you have been a member of COGOP for a while, chances are you have a story or testimony of the Burkhardt family. They are known to be spiritual parents to many and love pouring into the next generation.
If you catch Pastor Debbie on a not-so-frequent off day, she is probably watching Hallmark movies, spending time with her grandbabies, or sipping hot chocolate on her front porch swing.
Many glean from her wisdom on biblical marriage and motherhood as she selflessly imparts her wisdom to others. If you are looking for encouragement and empowerment in the midst of motherhood, this breakout is for you! Raising arrows is NOT an easy task but is one of our greatest acts of worship.
