Alliance of Midland, Texas, which is comprised of over 200 religious organizations

includes Protestant, Catholic, and Evangelical parishes and networks through their
national and international counterparts to promote human rights advocacy efforts.
The Midland Ministerial Alliance leaders have been involved in such advocacy efforts
internationally and sent representation to the 2005 meeting of the United Nations
Human Rights Commission in Geneva, and traveled to South Korea and Japan where representatives
of the alliance met with political and religious leaders to discuss future efforts
to make human rights a central focus in addressing the growing concerns with North
Korea. Deborah completed her undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University and
a graduate degree in Language Arts from the University of Texas. She serves on the
