I’m hearing it’s inspiring, challenging, faith activating and hitting home. Praise God!

I look forward to sharing more updates with you once I’m further along in the process.

In the meantime, I hope you’ve had a chance to read Books 1 – 4. They’re featured in the new super short video above.

Abounding Faith’s books fuel faith, spark hope and ignite love in Readers. These uplifting books have been encouraging young and older, women and men and ministry leaders and new believers.

What a blessing to know these books are in my Readers’ home libraries as well as in women’s shelters, nursing homes, being studied in small groups and more.

If Abounding Faith’s books have been a blessing to you, I’d love to hear your thoughts and see pics of you with your copies.

If you feel God stirring you to honor Him by writing a book, I’d be happy to answer your burning questions during  a “Write that Book” strategy call. You can learn more here.

Christmas Gift Guide – Give the Gift of Encouragement and Inspiration!

Abounding Faith’s books fuel faith, spark hope and ignite love in Readers. These uplifting books have been encouraging young and older, women and men and ministry leaders and new believers.

Here’s a gift guide to help you find the right Christmas gifts for you or your loved ones:

By Faith is perfect for those who aspire to live their God-given dreams and delight in reading about God’s fingerprints here and abroad. By Faith features stories and testimonies from the author’s travels to six continents and outreaches on the streets of New York City. By Faith is being endorsed by a staffer at Our Daily Bread Ministries, the President of Nyack College and a regional director of the Christian Women in Media Association. It includes a chapter on how to live your God-given dreams and a discussion guide for small groups and book clubs. You can order By Faith in print or on Kindle on Amazon.

Waiting on God Well is a life jacket for those who are struggling with waiting for God’s promises to be fulfilled in their lives. Waiting on God Well has encouraged those waiting for a new job, waiting to meet their spouse, waiting to conceive, waiting for their ministries to flourish and more. Waiting on God Well includes reflection questions, action step ideas and space for readers to journal their thoughts. You can order Waiting on God Well in print or on Kindle on Amazon.

Abounding Faith will boost the faith of those who are going through a challenging season and need to be reminded that nothing is impossible for God! This devotional was the inspiration for the Abounding Faith: Believing God for the Impossible class I taught at the New York School of the Bible.

This book has encouraged a Pastor, a Chaplain, a Sunday School teacher and inspired a Bible school student to further her studies to get equipped for God’s call on her life. It also encouraged a new believer to read his Bible to continue growing in his faith. This devotional includes reflection questions, prayer starters and space for readers to journal their thoughts. You can order Abounding Faith in print or on Kindle on Amazon.

Crossing Your Jordan River is perfect for those who need to be infused with faith and hope as they fight to enter their Promised Land. This book has encouraged small group members, a founder of a women’s home, women living in shelters and more.

Reflections on the Meet the Author Event at Nyack College

What a delight it was to be back with my friends at Nyack College’s Eastman Library for last Thursday’s Meet the Author and book signing event!

My prayer is that Abounding Faith’s books will continue to fuel the faith and ignite hope in my Readers as they walk by abounding faith, hope and love and live their God-given dreams.

1st Anniversary of By Faith Book

What a year it’s been since the release of my fourth book By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking With God Here and Abroad!

I’m so grateful to everyone who has prayed and encouraged me! My Readers are the best! And getting to teach a class based on one of the chapters of By Faith was such a delight.

I’m honored to get to inspire you through writing and speaking faith-fueling and hope-igniting words. I’ll keep at it as long as the Lord keeps giving me something to say.

I’m making progress with Book 5. Stay Tuned!

God is Good. I look forward to continuing to encourage you as you live by abounding faith, hope and love and live your God-given dreams!

By Faith is available in print and on Kindle on Amazon.

Here’s what people are saying about By Faith:

“Nancy’s love for Jesus and her passion to share the Gospel with others is clearly evident on every page of this book. Journey with her around the world as she shares the adventures that shaped her faith and brought eternal rewards for many.” —Rochelle Traub, Our Daily Bread Ministries

“The psalmist wrote, ‘The Lord gives the word; the women who announce the news are a great host.’ Nancy Gavilanes is among that number sharing the Good News. Boldly and enthusiastically, she represents what obedience to God’s call can do—not for just the ‘called ones’ but for the people whose lives they will impact. Nancy’s testimony continues in her fourth book, with this recollection of short-term missions trips and travels to six continents, as well as her speaking engagements to a number of audiences, including the Nyack College campus community. By Faith is sure to encourage readers in their spiritual formation. They will learn, as Nancy did, that the Christian journey is ‘a walk by faith.’” —Michael G. Scales, EdD, President, Nyack College/Alliance Theological Seminary

“Nancy’s journey is sure to inspire. She takes you on a mission to see how God can do above your hopes, dreams, and imaginations. Let her encourage you as she shares her experiences and what the Lord has taught her through walking with Him. This book will encourage you to live the life God is calling you to.”     —Chris Luppo, TV Producer/Manager Northeast Regional Director of the Christian Women in Media Association

“What an exciting. Spirit-filled, inspirational, faith-stirring book By Faith is! I couldn’t put it down once I began reading it and look forward to the next book by Nancy Gavilanes!” —Vivian Hernandez, Chaplain, The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center

* If you have a pic of you and any of Abounding Faith’s books, please send them my way. Kind Amazon reviews are also always welcome.

 

Reflections on Abounding Faith’s BELOVED Women’s Conference

“The best part of this conference was the word on being beloved! The Spirit moved throughout!!” – BELOVED Women’s Conference Attendee

There’s no way to fully describe how God showed up at Abounding Faith’s BELOVED Women’s Conference sponsored by Nyack College, but the smiles and hugs in the pictures speak volumes!

There was laughter, tears, prayers and a wonderful time of fellowship!

God’s BELOVED daughters traveled from Upstate, Yonkers, Long Island, Brooklyn and the surrounding area to be part of this special gathering.

What a delightful surprise that Open Bible Church International was decorated for a wedding taking place later that day! The decorations were perfect for our BELOVED conference.

Here’s a short clip from the conference:

I’m so grateful to our wonderful Presenting Sponsor Nyack College for their generous support of Abounding Faith’s BELOVED Women’s Conference and their commitment to preparing men and women to “take the whole Gospel to the whole world.”

Congratulations to Valeria on winning the partial scholarship to Nyack College! The ladies cheered and Valeria burst into tears when her name was announced. What a blessing for all of us to witness that God moment!

Valeria wasn’t even supposed to be at the conference. She was a last-minute replacement, but God already knew she would be joining us.  After winning the scholarship, she testified to how God has been drawing her to study at Nyack.

We’re so excited to see how God will continue equipping Valeria for all He’s called her to do.

Here’s a short video clip from Valeria:

It’s a blessing to be able to give away great prizes to my guests.

I’m so grateful to my friends at Our Daily Bread for the lovely resources they offered as prizes to the ladies.

And many thanks to my friends at TBN NY for the lovely books they offered as prizes to the ladies.

What a joy and privilege to get to be among God’s BELOVED daughters!

“The best part of this conference was the message, fellowship and sharing.” – BELOVED Women’s Conference Attendee

It’s a little surreal that my third women’s conference is now in the books. What a blessed time we had at Abounding Faith’s BELOVED Women’s Conference! God is Good!

I couldn’t host these events without the help of my family, volunteers and all those who were praying and helping to spread the word about this inspiring conference.

Thanks again for all your prayers and encouragement. I’m looking forward to continuing to share faith-fueling and hope-igniting messages with more groups. To learn more about inviting me to speak at your church, gathering or event, click here.
