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!

What a pleasure to get to meet students of different ages, backgrounds and who are studying different majors! God is Good!

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.

Thank you for making me feel so welcome, Eastman Library! Let’s do it again soon.

Didn’t get to attend Thursday’s event? Abounding Faith’s books are available on Amazon and make great gifts for any occasion.

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.

Reflections on a Few Summer Surprises

The Lord saw it fit to surprise me this summer in a few ways including these opportunities (pictured above) to teach and speak.
 
I’m grateful for every opportunity I get to encourage and inspire groups as they walk by faith and live their God-given dreams!
 
It was a blessing to teach a summer class at the New York School of the Bible in June based on one of my books and then to teach a Life Skills class at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center in July based on another one of my books. It was also a delight to share testimonies at a local church and lead Chapel at The Bowery Mission’s Tribeca site.

 

God is so Good!

 

None of these speaking and teaching opportunities were on my calendar at the beginning of the year, but God already had them planned.

 

We just need to be available and willing. God knows what’s on the other side of our Yes!

 

I’m looking forward to continuing to share messages of hope with more groups.
 
Local Ladies, I’d love to encourage you at Abounding Faith’s BELOVED Women’s Conference! You can register here.
 
I’d also be delighted to share an uplifting Bible-based message at your church, school, conference, chapel service, retreat or outreach event. Your group will be inspired and filled with hope. Learn more here.
 
Thanks for your continued prayers and support! Blessings!
