We’ve had students in different states join us over the years. One year we had a student in Taiwan join us!

This empowering course is based on the powerful story of Joshua from the Bible. We’ll also be looking at my book Crossing Your Jordan River: How to Possess and Prosper in Your Promised Land (available on Amazon) that has inspired NYSB students as well as women and men in small groups and women living in shelters and more.

Join us and grow in the Word this summer.

Encore “Divine Design” Blog Post by My Mom

I’m delighted to be sharing this encore of my Mom’s “Divine Design” blog post. You can hear me reading my Mom’s lovely blog post in episode 73 of the Abounding Faith for Today podcast that’s available wherever you listen to podcasts. My Mom’s blog post originally ran in 2013.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I’ve asked my Mom to share some encouraging thoughts with you.  Blessings!

I have always loved butterflies! The last time I visited the Bronx Zoo, I was amazed at seeing all the beautiful butterflies in the Butterfly Garden. Each one had its own unique design and colors. No two looked alike.

How wonderful God is that He would take His time to design each and every butterfly.

God has taken great care to create each and every one of us as well. He has patience with us as we transform from ordinary caterpillars into exquisite and unique butterflies! We are all precious in His sight!

Remember that you are special to God and that you are created in His image. He loves you more than you can imagine!

 â€śI praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:14)

Celebrating My First Year of Having My Devotional Articles Published in Our Daily Bread – Nancy Gavilanes

This month marks my first year of being a published author with the Our Daily Bread (ODB) devotional that’s available worldwide in print, online, as a podcast and more!

It’s been such a joy and honor to have my devotional articles appear monthly in the ODB devotional that is distributed in more than 50 languages in more than 150 countries!

What a special honor to have my very first devotional article, which was a tribute to my wonderful Mom, appear last year on Mother’s Day. (You can read it right here.)

Only God could do that!

If you’re familiar with my story, you know that it took more than TEN years for my devotional articles to start appearing in the global ODB devotional.

I was delighted to win ODB’s Online Writing Contest for Readers back in 2014. I’d wanted to write for them even before that.

After a LONG wait, I’m so grateful for this writing breakthrough and milestone and to be in this season now.

It’s so special to be able to share some of my thoughts, reflections and insights in each article.

So far, 15 of my devotional articles have appeared in the ODB devotional!

TWO more will be published later this month. Stay tuned.

Do you have a favorite ODB article I’ve written? Feel free to let me know why it’s your favorite on Abounding Faith’s social media.

It’s lovely to hear from my Readers near and far.

I love hearing how reading the ODB devotional is part of your daily time with the Lord.

I love seeing how far my simple words can travel all over the world and in so many different languages.

It makes my Evangelist and Exhorter heart sing!

Thanks for your prayers as I continue to write these devotionals.

May God continue giving me words that will inspire and encourage you.

In case you didn’t know, Our Daily Bread Ministries helps people grow closer in their relationship with God, become more like Jesus, and respond to God’s Word through the conviction of the Holy Spirit.

I hope you enjoy this short video with snapshots from this past year right here and check out episode 72 of the Abounding Faith for Today podcast that’s available wherever you listen to podcasts.

You can find all my ODB devotional articles right here.

To God be the Glory!
