Reflections on Sharing Encouraging Testimonies at a Local Church

It was an honor to share an encouraging word with my friends at Eternal Hope Ministries for two Sundays in a row.

I was delighted when my friend Pastor Gary Fishman invited me to share a testimony at both of the services he was covering for my friends Pastors Peter and Margo Kemp.

Pastor Gary has been a strong prophetic voice and a great encourager to me in this season of my life. I’m also grateful for the Kemps’  friendship and prayers over the years.

It was a blessing to see my friends at this sweet congregation,  and to meet a few new friends.

God surprised me with these two ministry opportunities.

I’m looking forward to having more surprises to share very soon. God is Good!

I’m also looking forward to speaking to more groups. I’d be delighted to encourage and empower your group as they walk by faith and live their God-given dreams. Your group will be inspired and uplifted. To learn more about inviting me to your church, school, chapel, conference, retreat or outreach event, click here.

Reflections on Teaching at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center

“The Holy Spirit pours out of you! Not only when you’re praying, but as you’re speaking.” – Resident at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center

What an honor to get to teach a Life Skills class for my friends at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center!  It was a delight to get to teach a chapter from my latest book, By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking with God Here and Abroad.    

The women were so gracious and receptive to what I was sharing.

The lady quoted above went on to say that normally she writes down one confirmation she gets from each speaker, but this time she couldn’t because there were too many to write down. Glory to God!

The ladies asked great questions and shared such kind feedback.

I felt so welcomed there, as usual. From the moment I arrived to right before I left, the ladies had such sweet things to say.

“I’m reading your book,” exclaimed one of the young ladies I bumped into while waiting to enter the building.  She went on to share that she had been preparing to interview for an internship and was worried that she wasn’t going to get the position. That’s when their Chaplain gave her a copy of Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible. “It wasn’t a coincidence. I got the internship!” she said.

I’m so touched that my book encouraged her faith at just the right time.

It’s always a pleasure to inspire my friends at The Bowery. And guess what? I leave uplifted as well!

As we are a blessing to others, we also get blessed. God is Good!

I find it interesting that God has me teaching this summer and based on two of my books. That’s been a surprise to me, but not to God!

There’s a beauty in embracing the mystery and following God’s lead.

I look forward to sharing hope and encouragement with more and more groups.

I’d be delighted to encourage and empower your group as they walk by faith and live their God-given dreams. Your group will be inspired and uplifted. To learn more about inviting me to your church, school, chapel, conference, retreat or outreach event, click here.
