He is Risen!

As you reflect on the life and death of Jesus and all His teachings, ministry and miracles, be super encouraged that we serve a risen Savior!

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)

 

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!

Reflections on My Return Visit to Chapel at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center

“I’ve always wanted to meet the author!” That’s how one lady at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center welcomed me Thursday morning along with two big hugs! She’s read Crossing Your Jordan River and thanked me for writing it.

I’m so touched by her response. I went to be a blessing and God blessed and encouraged me as well!

My readers are the best!

It’s such a joy to get to encourage the lovely ladies at chapel.

It’s surreal to know my books are in their library. God is Good!

The ladies may be new each time I go there to minister, but I always feel welcome.

God is doing a beautiful work in the ladies’ lives.

I’m grateful for The Bowery Mission’s commitment to bringing hope and transformation to these women.

Continued blessings to my friends at The Bowery Mission! Learn more about their important work at www.bowery.org.

Abounding Faith – Encouragement as You Walk by Faith and Live Your God-Given Dreams! [VIDEO]

I’m thrilled to be able to share the short video above. It’s a snapshot of what God has allowed me to do these past couple of years through Abounding Faith.

I pray Abounding Faith’s books, events, podcast, online store, YouTube Channel and more encourage you on your faith journey!

I’ve waited a long time to be in this season. If it all stopped now, I would be content with all that the Lord has allowed me to accomplish so far.

But I get the feeling God has more in store! I appreciate your prayers and support.

I’m working on a few exciting projects.  I look forward to having more news to share with you soon. Thanks for staying tuned.

All the best to you on your faith journey. Don’t give up on your God-given dreams. Pray, Dream, Do and Repeat!
