Reflections on Speaking at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center’s Chapel

It was such a delight to get to visit the lovely ladies at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center and to encourage them during a recent chapel service! We had such a sweet time, as usual.

It’s beautiful to see how God is working in the lives of the ladies who participate in this wonderful program that helps to bring healing and hope to women in crisis.

The women are always so welcoming and thankfully receptive to what I share with them. It’s truly an honor whenever I get to speak an encouraging word to groups of people. The Bowery Women have a special place in my heart. Can you tell I was having a blessed time speaking to them by the following pic?

It’s a privilege to get to pour into the women and inspire them during this time in their lives. And they help to encourage me!

Their feedback was so kind. They thanked me for the words I shared. And one of the staffers said chapel service was fantastic and that she could listen to me all day because of the impartation and examples I shared and the timely message I spoke. Glory to God!

I first spoke at chapel a few years ago when my mom and I were doing internship hours to become volunteer chaplains. It’s been great to stay connected with The Bowery over the years.

I pray all the best for the women and staff at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center as well as for their programs for men and kids.

I plan to keep speaking to groups as long as God keeps giving me something to say.

Reflections on Abounding Faith’s Mighty Women of Valor Women’s Conference Sponsored by Nyack College

“The best part of this conference was the connecting, reconnecting, teaching of the Word and practical fellowship,” Conference Attendee

Something special happens when God’s daughters get together. We had such a blessed time at Abounding Faith’s Mighty Women of Valor Women’s Conference presented by Nyack College! It was beautiful to see familiar and new faces at my second women’s conference. There was laughter, a few tears, fellowship and prayer throughout the conference. All glory to God!

I love getting to encourage and empower people through Bible-based messages! I love the diversity of ages, backgrounds and churches represented at my events.

This conference included recent college grads as well as senior saints. We had women from the different boroughs join us as well as one lady who is in town visiting a friend and is going back home to an African country! At my last event there was a lady visiting from the Philippines, so I’m slowly starting to reach the nations. Praise God!

I’m so grateful to Nyack College, the Presenting Sponsor of Abounding Faith’s Mighty Women of Valor Women’s Conference! It was a delight to have Nyack join us at the event.

Congratulations to Paula for winning the Nyack scholarship! It was such an honor to be able to give her this award on behalf of Nyack College and Abounding Faith!

I’m so grateful to Open Bible Church International, the gracious host church for this conference. I’m also grateful to my friends at Our Daily Bread and TBN NY for offering these lovely prizes for our guests!

A huge Thank You to my amazing volunteers (including my Mom) who prayed for the guests leading up to the event and served with love and kindness in the areas of set up/decorations, tech/photos, book sales/registration, etc! Many blessings to you Team Abounding Faith a.k.a. Gideons’ Army! It takes a village to host these events, and I’m grateful that you’re part of this village.

“The best part of this conference was that it was a spiritual uplift to move ahead and obey God’s plan for our lives,” Conference Attendee

Amen! That’s why I do what I do. I’ll keep speaking as long as God keeps giving me something to say.

I’m already praying about next year’s conference… ladies, don’t miss it!!!

If you’re interested in inviting me to speak at your event, please click here.

Thank you to all of you who were praying for the success of this conference! Many blessings to you!

Tribute to Billy Graham

As I work on the flyer for my upcoming women’s conference, I’m delighted to find this flyer that I gave out with such joy when Billy Graham came to town! My Mom and I got to serve as prayer counselors at the crusade and my Mom also served as an usher and sang in the choir! My Dad went to the crusade and my Senior Pastor got to say an opening prayer from the platform. It was truly a blessed time!

I’m still so honored to have gotten to serve at Billy Graham’s last crusade in NYC.  In Book 4 I’m mentioning how his ministry helped me during some critical times in my early Christian walk.

What a life Billy Graham lived and what a legacy he leaves behind for all of us! I feel like I’ve lost a friend but it’s also as if he’s passed the torch to us.

I’m so grateful for Billy Graham’s commitment to faithfully preaching the Word of God! I’d like to share a few lessons I’ve learned from Billy Graham’s life:

Preach the Word of God with boldness! Billy Graham traveled the world sharing about God’s unconditional love for us and how we can have eternal life in heaven through Jesus. Glory! Don’t be shy about sharing your faith. Ask the Lord to give you the courage and the right words to say to your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors and anyone else the Lord leads you to.

Live a life of integrity! I’m so glad that Billy Graham was faithful to Christ and didn’t get sidetracked by any scandals. He lived knowing that God was watching him. Billy Graham used his gifts to glorify God.  As I listen to people paying tribute to Billy Graham, I keep hearing people describe him as a man of integrity. Let’s live a life worthy of our calls whether we’re serving in a church setting, the marketplace or in our homes.

Fight the good fight of faith! Billy lived to be 99 years old. What an accomplishment! But the true beauty is that he served Jesus until the end. The inscription on his gravestone will read, “Preacher of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ” and includes the Bible verse John 14:6 which says, “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” How fitting that Billy Graham would point to Christ even on his tombstone!

The Bible says that being absent from the body means being present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8 ). I’m happy that Billy is finally home.

As for us, we get to continue proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ until Jesus returns or takes us home. Don’t give in to discouragement. Don’t let the world dim your light! Keep shining for Christ and obeying His lead. Billy Graham showed us it’s possible to live a life of faith and integrity.

I’d like to leave you with a few quotes from Billy Graham that I found on this site:

  • “I am not going to Heaven because I have preached to great crowds or read the Bible many times. I’m going to Heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment: ‘Lord, remember me.’”
  • “The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.”
  • “Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.”
  • “The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, ‘O God, forgive me,’ or ‘Help me.’”
  • “Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.”
  • “God has given us two hands – one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.”
  • “I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.”
