Deborah Enomoto
Sozo Minister & Pastoral Counselor
Founder of Boundaries Sozo
I was saved in 1999 at the ripe old age of 47 after listening to a gospel radio station and answering the altar call before they went off the air for the night. I had no clue what I had just done and had to pull over because I was crying and couldn’t see the road; I got home and told my wife what I did. (Yes, I was married to a woman for 12 years and had been a devout militant lesbian since age 19.) My journey took hold in 2001 after my partner left me when I told her Jesus was now #1 in my life .
God put me on a fast track and connected me to strategic folks who would play a major role in forming my Christian life. I was introduced to Bill Johnson’s ministry by watching a video of a healing conference that took place in New York (my home state). That video hooked me on healing. Then I was introduced to healing evangelists who hooked me on deliverance. I was fascinated with all of the Holy Spirit’s gifts, signs and wonders, and my pastor suggested that I look into Bible schools. He recommended three options; the one that won was Bethel’s School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM).
I moved to Redding in 2004 to attend BSSM, and I jumped right into Sozo when I discovered it to be a powerful and quick method for setting people free. I became passionate about helping people keep their healing, and that’s what hooked me on boundaries. I discovered a marriage of ministries made in heaven: I can get 'em free with Sozo, and they get to stay free with healthy boundaries and renewed minds.
Today, I work for the Transformation Center and Bethel’s tech team. I love my life! When not working, my husband Chuck and I enjoy spending quality time together and with our extended family. I love the outdoors, tinkering, walking, and accomplishing a variety of activities/projects related to firewood.
