Abounding Faith Class in Full Swing at the New York School of the Bible

What an honor it was to teach my very first Abounding Faith: Believing God for the Impossible class at the New York School of the Bible (NYSB)!

There was a sweet spirit among the lovely ladies who attended the first class this past Saturday.

I think my late Senior Pastor would be proud to know that I’m teaching at the same Bible school he suggested I attend a few years ago.

What a joy to get to encourage others in their faith by sharing some of the lessons I learned while writing my second book Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible! (Available on Amazon).

Local Ladies, there’s still time to sign up for the remaining three classes. Come and be encouraged in your faith! You can register today.

Here’s a few pics of me in teacher mode. God is Good!

God continues to surprise me in delightful ways. I hope you’re having a wonderful unofficial start to your summer as well. Blessings!

Inspiring Author, Speaker and Evangelist for Your Next Event

“An anointed woman of God, filled with love, light, and life! We were blessed and honored to have Nancy Gavilanes speak at our Chapel Service. She touches each person who hears her.”
– Yvette King, Chaplain, The Bowery Mission

I’m delighted to share this super short video about some of the speaking God is calling me to do in this season.

I would be honored to encourage and empower your group as they walk by faith and live their God-given dreams. I’d be thrilled to share a Bible-based message at your church, school, conference, retreat or outreach event.

Your group will be inspired and filled with hope. They will be encouraged in their faith and reminded that nothing is impossible with God!

Thanks for staying on this faith journey with me. To God be the Glory!

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”  (Romans 10:14-15 NIV)

Almost Time to Teach My Summer Class at the New School of The Bible

How surreal it was to return to the New York School of the Bible (NYSB) the other day and to be welcomed back as a member of their faculty. God is Good!
 
Back when I was a student there and even when I was writing Abounding Faith, I never thought I’d be teaching a class based on one of my books. I delight in God’s surprises!

That’s the message of hope I’m sharing in this short and uplifting video I shot a few years ago. To find more short and encouraging videos shot here and abroad, visit Abounding Faith’s YouTube Channel by clicking here.

May you have a very blessed Holy Week! He is Risen! He is Risen indeed!

“In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, ‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” (Luke 24:5-7 NIV)

 

Reflections on Being Back at the Pulpit Upstate

What a delight and honor to preach and lead the service on a recent Sunday for my friends at Central Delaware Trinity Covenant! This was my fifth consecutive year ministering to this lovely congregation.

I could sorta kinda get used to being at the pulpit… but only as the Lord leads!

What a privilege to get to do everything from prayerfully choosing the bulletin cover and hymns to bringing the sermon, praying for the congregation and the offering and also greeting everyone on the way out!

Last time I was with this congregation it was the Christmas season. This time it was Lent. God is Good!

What a joy to get to minister at all three of Central Delaware Trinity Covenant’s beautiful churches over the years! What a blessing to be there in every season.

It was also a delight to get to see my friends and to celebrate Maple Day by enjoying a pancake breakfast at the local high school and visiting a few sap houses.

What a great way to ring in spring and close out Women’s History Month! I pray continued blessings to the Central Delaware Trinity Covenant congregation!

FYI, I have a few more exciting announcements coming up about different projects I’m working on so please stay tuned! God is Good!

 

 

Looking Back & Springing Forward – News About Abounding Faith’s Women’s Conference

 

I’m taking a moment to reflect on Abounding Faith’s Women’s Conference’s that have taken place in the spring.

As I look back at these smiling faces of just some of the lovely ladies who have attended Abounding Faith’s SOAR and Mighty Women of Valor conferences, I’m touched by the laughs and prayers and encouragement we’ve shared. We  know how to have a good time and how to enjoy great fellowship, food, prayer and wonderful prizes!

It’s odd to not have a conference this spring, but fear not. Ladies, this year Abounding Faith’s Women’s Conference will be held in October so please stay tuned. I’ll be sharing more details and info about Early Bird registration soon.

I appreciate your prayers as I plan for this year’s conference. It takes a village to host these events! If you’re interested in sponsoring the conference or volunteering at the event, please email info@aboundingfaith.com.

Now that it’s a new season, I’m working on a few projects. I’m looking forward to sharing more news with you.

Ladies and gents, if you’re being inspired by Abounding Faith’s books, events and more, I invite you to be part of this journey with me by becoming an Abounding Faith Dream Team member. You can learn more here.  It’s a great way to get involved in the work that God is doing through Abounding Faith. Let’s encourage people on their faith journey together!

Keep moving forward on your journey! Pray, Dream, Do and Repeat!
