FireGate Church Ministries
Deborah and Tom have experienced the wonders of revival, in the USA and abroad. They make Isaiah 61:1 come alive as they declare, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me...to preach good tidings.....heal the broken hearted.....proclaim liberty to the captives.....opening prison to those who are bound.....to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord" When Deborah was first saved,
35 years ago, she
joined church street
teams evangelizing, in such notorious places as the Burnside area
of
downtown Portland, Oregon, and in outlaw biker camps where even the police refused to
go. She boldly preached the
Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost and ministering in demonstration! Deborah, along with her companions, faced all manner
of wickedness but her boldness, combined with the Father's Love,
has made her a
courageous warrior, a victorious evangelist and an anointed teacher powerfully sharing
Jesus and the Cross. Many were saved, delivered
and set free with signs, miracles and wonders accompanying, as the
Spirit worked, all to the Glory of God. She was even appointed to
a board position in a men's Christian biker ministry!
The Gliebe's were pastors of FireGate Ministry Fellowship until God called them to go to the Nations in 1997. They have acted as assistant pastors at a Four Square Church, had their own bi-weekly radio programs, appeared many times on various TV programs, such as, TBN's, "Praise The Lord', "Warning" and the "Eleventh Hour". Deborah was the teacher/evangelist on a three part TBN Television series called "The Evangelist's Heart." She has been a speaker at many events including the Precious Daughter's Conference in Portland, Oregon attended by 1,000 women and Doves Church Women's Conferences, of which she is the founder, plus many other women's and church conferences.
In Australia, on the third day of an eight day conference, as Tom & Deborah Gliebe, of FireGate Church Ministries, were about to minister on the platform, an Australian Dove flew into the sanctuary, circled the congregation of 200 and then landed on Deborah's shoulder…and would not leave! The pastor, sitting next to them, was shocked! The pastor's wife absolutely lost her composure as she had just prayed for a sign that Spirit would stay. It was the beginning of many Sign and Wonders that happened during the ensuing outbreak of revival! National News reporters from radio, television and newspapers came. Many articles were released all over the country concerning the "Living Waters Revival”! During the next 60 weeks over 130,000 people flocking from across the country of Australia to enter into the outpouring that took place in that small church! Many nightly News programs had reports on the revival. Sometimes presented with titles, such as, "Is it God? Or the devil?" To the Glory of God, thousands were saved, delivered and set free during that revival, never to be the same again!" ================================================================
