Debora D. Taylor

Debora Taylor is the founder and president of Taylor-Made International Institute and its para-church, the Faith and Business Ministry, which produced its first book series aptly titled: Tying the Knot Between Ministry and the Market-place. She received her formal education from the Milwaukee Theological Institute and the Springfield College with a bachelor’s in human services.

She was raised in the inner city in the West Lawn housing project. Although she was an atheist for most of her teen and young adult years, at the age of twenty-six, God touched her life. Through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit, she made her confession for the Lord Jesus Christ. Her life was changed that day, and she has never been the same.

Debora has been a spiritual and integral leader in the human service field for more than twenty-five years with expertise in the areas of women’s issues, marriage and family enrichment, youth and early childhood, and responsible fatherhood. Her efforts, her enthusiasm, and her great successes continue to be recognized locally and nationally. Debora has a long list of honors and awards including, the National Presidential Volunteer Service Award for 2012 presented to her by President Barack Obama for her local, regional and national involvement through the United States.

By the leading of the Holy Spirit, Debora and her husband became organizers and church planters of the New Life Kingdom Ministries International. She co-pastored for 18 years with her husband, Pastor Guy Taylor, until retiring from pulpit ministry in 2013 to move south to Memphis, Tennessee. She has been an ordained minister for twenty-eight years.
