The children know her as Miss Debbie, and for two hours every day after school, she has a live call-in radio show that reaches kids across the nation. Her listeners eagerly call in their answers to the Bible quiz question of the day to win a prize, and quote the Bible verse of the day they’ve memorized.

Adults know her as Deborah Eckelbarger. Her pastor father started a Christian station in Lake Havasu, AZ in 1983 when she was just 7, and after her personal “walk in the wilderness,” Miss Debbie has been using the show as a way to teach young listeners to find life answers in the Bible.

The voice of one young caller – maybe early elementary school age – comes on, and Miss Debbie announces they’re going to play a game called “Friend or Foe?”

She says, “Lucifer.”

Without hesitation, the voice on the other end says “Foe.”

Miss Debbie says, “Saul of Tarsus.”

The young caller answers, “Foe, because he’s not Paul yet.”

Her passion is in teaching children how to develop a personal relationship with Christ, knowing that the lessons they learn at a young age will shape their lives for years to come.

The Rescuers radio show provides an opportunity to spotlight people who are working behind the scenes to make this world a better place. These people serve as inspiration and idea starters to encourage others to find creative ways to impact their community, their city, and the world.

Host Art Brooks has spent his career in broadcasting, both as on-air talent and in representing the industry as president and CEO of the Arizona Broadcasters Association for nearly 30 years. He was the driving force behind an Emmy-winning series of documentaries on drug abuse that combined a phone bank of 100 seasoned counselors and history-making "roadblock," as every TV station in Arizona and many radio stations broadcast the groundbreaking show on the same day at the same time. He also was instrumental in starting AZ AMBER Alert (one of two states in the nation where broadcasters initiated the program), helped form the Native American Broadcast Institute at Northern Arizona University and consulted with broadcasters in Bulgaria to help build commercial radio as the country was coming out of communism.

Rescuers airs 5:30-6 p.m. AZ time Thursdays on KPXQ-AM Faith Talk 1360, beginning May 7, 2020. Based in Phoenix, it is available internationally online. We invite you to submit names of heroes you think would be good subjects for the show - just message us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/rescuersradioshow/
