Debbie Poer - European General Manager Contact Debbie My primary responsibilities revolve around the day-to-day operation and activities of Haus Edelweiss. I have the privilege of being actively involved with staff, professors, students, Short-Term Workers and other guests while they are on campus. Family: My husband, Jim, and I moved to Haus Edelweiss to serve with TCMI in February 2002. Our daughter, Krista, died in 1997 at the age of 22 from complications of Cystic Fibrosis.
Supporting me in many ways back in Indiana are my parents, a sister, a brother, 7 nieces and 4 nephews. We also have 7 exchange student children, who each spent a year living with us (different years!) and are very much a part of our family. Through them we have 5 granddaughters and 1 grandson.
Hometown: I grew up and lived in Indianapolis, IN until moving to Haus Edelweiss. In Indianapolis I am a member of Indian Creek Christian Church.
Hobbies: In my free time I enjoy reading and going for walks. I love music and have discovered the opera since moving to Austria.
Best part of my job: It is exciting to hear how the Gospel is being shared in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Having the opportunity to serve church leaders from those areas and be a part of their education is a true gift.
Best part about my job: I enjoy being involved with church leaders from so many different Eastern and Central European countries.
