Deb Mantel has a passion for helping God reach women with His intimate love for them. As she shares her story and music with women in different churches, she continually sees God at work bringing encouragement and comfort to women who are hurting and hungry for more of God.
A member of Knox Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Deb has shared her music and story at many events – at Ladies' Teas, Mother and Daughter Banquets, Retreats, Girls' Nights Out, Sunday morning services, etc. Often she tells her story of coming to Christ and weaves her music into her presentation – a beautiful tapestry of grace and mercy.
"Deb Mantel has an amazing ability to weave her personal testimony with her music, much of which she has written, inspiring us to bring our deepest sorrows to the compassionate, life-giving Son of God. She allows us to look into her real-life stories, where she gets real and is touched by the Lord in personal, life-changing ways. Deb has ministered at several of our events and I recommend her highly."
(Mary Ann Leland, Ann Arbor, MI)

"Deb was the perfect choice for our retreat. Her testimony is riveting - tragedy turned triumphant through God's healing and grace. Her message gave us a fresh reminder of God's love for us and His desire for us to live as accepted and beloved daughters of the King. She was warm, genuine, and gracious - a true vessel of Christian love. I would highly recommend her."
(Pam Spires, Women’s Ministry Director, Capital Baptist, Annandale, VA.)
"I just want to say again how much I enjoyed your presence with us and your wonderful worshipful music. I've loved knowing you even a little. We have each experienced a fair amount of pain, and God has used that in our expressions of worship – in word and music. I hope we meet again."
(Carolyn Nystrom, co-author with J.I. Packer of Praying: Finding Our Way Through Duty to Delight.)
"Dear Deb, I never got to speak to you, but your ministry is deep. I could have listened to you all night."
