About Dr. Deborah
She was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. As number 6 of 8 children, she was raised in an environment of extreme abuse, lack, and poverty not having the necessary resources to get help she needed to be successful in school and life. She made a vow in her heart as a young girl to one day help people so they would not have to suffer like she did. Dr. Fowler held on to a God given vision of helping individuals understand and identify their purpose in life so they can walk into their destiny. Over her career, she worked in a number of industries including Law but quickly found her niche when she was ordained for ministry in 1997. As a woman of prayer and faith, Dr. Fowler opened Divine Appointment Deliverance & Healing International Ministries (D.A.D.H.I.M) in 2007 and quickly elevated to Bishop in 2008. Dr. Fowler’s commitment to helping those in need expanded beyond the four walls of the church in 2010, when she launched Bridge of Hope Community Centers Inc. which serves as the programmatic arm of the ministry. Bridge of Hope Programs are designed to assist individuals to achieve their God given potential in life and “Change The Community One Heartbeat At A Time” through the provision of programs and access to resources. In 2014, Dr. Fowler formally established Elijah’s Brook, which provides support and mentorship to men and women of God in leadership in ministry to equip, edify, and restore them to their rightful place in the work of the Kingdom of God. Dr. Fowler resides in the San Gabriel Valley with her two children Gabriel and Brianna and continues to serve through her ministry and community work.
