For over thirty years, Deitra’s relational style of connecting with women has brought many to a deeper, more personal walk with their God. Her call is to ignite a passion in women to fall in love with God and experience Him in an intimate way through practicing keeping company with Jesus. Her desire is to motivate a woman to her own personal greatness as designed by God and to help her discover what her Ephesians 2:10 work is that God created her to do, so you may bring glory to God by fulfilling His purposes in and through her. Deitra has years of experience in coaching, teaching and mentoring women to experience a transformational relationship with Christ. She currently is a Spiritual Growth Life Coach and has developed her own ministry called Closer Still (www.closerstill.org) which includes individual and group coaching experiences as well as facilitating Get Away with God retreats in her home each month. In the year 2000, Deitra and her husband, Rob, served as staff with Youth with a Mission (YWAM) at University of the Nations in Kona, Hawaii. From 2001-2003 she served as the Director of Women’s Ministry at Sharon Baptist Church in McDonough, Georgia, during which time she developed and taught Prayer Journaling: Developing an Intimate Relationship with God, which focuses on many of the principles in her book, Ears Wide Open. As a graduate of C.L.A.S.S. (Christian Leaders, Authors and Speakers Services, www.classeminars.org) and as a professional life coach trained through Lifeforming Leadership Coaching (www.lifeformingcoach.org) Deitra has much to offer women seeking to foster a deeper spiritual relationship with the Lord. Deitra met her husband Rob at Florida State University where she graduated in English Education. They have been married for 39 years and have three beautiful daughters and eleven adorable grandchildren, ten of which are girls and one precious boy which also includes a set of triplets. You can find her enjoying life through gardening, art journaling/painting, and reading five different books at any one time. |
