Off to America

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Today is the day I start out on my trip to America! Tonight I journey over to my grandparents home where I stay the night ready for an early start up to the airport in the morning.

AA-takeoffAs a result of the Documentary “Deborah 13: Servant of God” I have been invited out to meet with some of the people who have most influenced my Christian life. The first week I meet with Ray Comfort and the ‘Way of the Master’ team, and even get to join him on the streets doing outreach. Then I fly over to Florida to meet with Eric Hovind from Creation Science Evangelism ministry and then Rick Wiles of TruNews.

If you want to keep up with our trip you can see what we’re up to on Bible-matters twitter. Look down the left hand side of the Bible-Matters page and follow our tweets.

Thank you to everyone who has made this trip possible and I’ll try and write again after I get home.

Have a great day,

Deborah Drapper

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

American FlagAt the end of August Dad, Kirsty and I have been invited out to the United States of America. Our passports have now arrived and I am really looking forward to meeting lots of people who have taught me so much over the years.

The first week will be spent with some very good friends then Dad and I go to meet Ray Comfort and the Way of the Master evangelism team while Kirsty continues with our friends. Ray Comfort will let you know more about what we will be doing as you listen to a short clip from a recent radio interview below….

The second week we all fly from Los Angeles, on the West coast, across to Florida, on the East coast, and share a few days fellowshipping with Eric Hovind from Creation Science Evangelism ministry. I am really looking forward to being able to ask him lots of questions about creation and evolution and visit their creation museum/Dinosaur Adventure-land.

Earthen Vessels

earthen-vesselThis week I have been working on an article for a magazine called Earthen Vessels. This is a quarterly print magazine edited and published by an 18 year old, homeschool graduate, Emily Berge, and it’s purpose is to encourage, educate, and strengthen our commitment, as Christians, to the Great Commission.

earthen-vesseljpg-bArticles are written by adults, youth, and children, and frequently include topics such as large families, adoption, missions, and teens who are pro-actively making a difference.

If you would like to order a copy of this magazine then send your details to: Earthen Vessels, c/o Emily Berger, RR4, Lacombe AB, T4L 2N4, Canada

Or email djberger@platinum.ca

I hope you manage to get your own copy of this magazine and encourage Emily in her amazing publication.

Tony Miano – Ambassadors Alliance Radio

Monday, March 30th, 2009

On 27th March I did a live interview with Tony Miano from Ambassadors Alliance Radio in the USA. You can listen below. (Oh, by the way, I didn’t know it was live until Tony asked me if I wanted to take a question from a listener!!!)

Who Am I?

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Recently I was asked by someone if I would answer some questions for their blog site so I thought I would put up the answers on here too. Hopefully this will give you a better picture of who I actually am.

1. Can you please tell us something about yourself?

My name is Deborah Joy Drapper. I love my name. Deborah Joy means ‘ joyful bee’ and I consider myself to be a happy, hard working, sweet girl, but with a sting in my tail!!

I was born in Essex, the 4th child in a family of 11 children. I have 3 sisters and 7 brothers ranging from 22yrs to 2yrs old. Seven years ago we moved down to Dorset where we live in a farmhouse, over a mile away from the nearest bus stop. We have several pets including 2 goats and 17 hens, so have our own milk and eggs, and I love to get out into the fresh air and help out.

I love pink and my room is full of pink things from my quilt cover and rug, to my fluffy pink pen and note book. I even have a pink tool bag full of pink screwdrivers and hammers!!!

Keep them coming!

How Can A Person Get Right With God?

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

The documentary that went out yesterday about my life as a young, evangelistic Christian resulted in loads of emails, and comments.

One thing that was not shown well on the documentary, and many people have asked me about, is actually how to be saved.

The focus of the film was on sin, and that we’re all sinners, and all heading to hell. What it didn’t show at all was that God sent his son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for OUR sins so that we don’t have to go to hell.

I hope this helps answer some of your questions.

Today’s the day!

Tonight on BBC3, at 9pm, Deborah, 13: Servant of God will be aired. The first with five repeats. (BBC 3 website for times).

The Daily Telegraph have an article in the paper today, right underneath an article about “Are we turning our children into monsters?”

As I don’t have a TV I shall probably be tucked up in my bed while you watch!!

I hope you enjoy it. Let me have your comments.

Home Education

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

People often ask me what it is like to be home educated so I thought I would let you have a peek into my ’school’ day to see what I do.

I have never been to school as a student. When I was little my big sister helped my mum to teach me to read and write using the ACE Curriculum. This is a Christian based curriculum and not only teaches the subjects, but teaches character, and Biblical principles, as well as how to set goals and how to research and study for myself. Now, some days, I help my mum teach my little brothers!!

Deborah Drapper home schoolingI spend my mornings sitting at my desk at my bedroom window that looks out over the fields. I work on my academic subjects there, both written and on the computer.

My favourite subject is science. I am studying Physical Science, Bible and Science, and Creation Science. I am also studying English and Maths and preparing to take the Adult Literacy and Numeracy tests when I am 14. Other subjects I do are Collectivism, Etymology, Speech, West African Agriculture, and Successful Living. Last year I studied Child Development and British Sign Language and hope to start a more in-depth course in sign language soon.
