Debby Schulz

Debby Schulz lives in the Phoenix, Arizona area and has always cherished the laid-back, "country style" way of living. She has two adult children, is a gramma, and fervently loves our Lord. Her passion is to share God's love with others-everything from dressing up as Freddy Swampwater, the "hobo" storyteller for kids, to painting pictures, writing Christian folk songs, and teaching adult Bible classes.
