Reflections on Sharing Encouraging Testimonies at a Local Church

It was an honor to share an encouraging word with my friends at Eternal Hope Ministries for two Sundays in a row.

I was delighted when my friend Pastor Gary Fishman invited me to share a testimony at both of the services he was covering for my friends Pastors Peter and Margo Kemp.

Pastor Gary has been a strong prophetic voice and a great encourager to me in this season of my life. I’m also grateful for the Kemps’  friendship and prayers over the years.

It was a blessing to see my friends at this sweet congregation,  and to meet a few new friends.

God surprised me with these two ministry opportunities.

I’m looking forward to having more surprises to share very soon. God is Good!

I’m also looking forward to speaking to more groups. I’d be delighted to encourage and empower your group as they walk by faith and live their God-given dreams. Your group will be inspired and uplifted. To learn more about inviting me to your church, school, chapel, conference, retreat or outreach event, click here.

Local Ladies, I hope to see you at Abounding Faith’s BELOVED Women’s Conference in October. You can reserve your spot today by clicking here.

Mid-Year Check In for 2019

My year of “Surprises” continues to be a blessing, thank God!

It was an honor to be invited back by Nyack College to speak at Chapel and to be back at the pulpit leading the service for my friends at Central Delaware Trinity Covenant for the fifth year in a row!

It was also an honor to teach the Abounding Faith: Believing God for the Impossible summer class at the New York School of the Bible based on one of my books!

It was a delight to have my 8th article appear on Charisma‘s website.

I’m now working on Book 5 and gearing up for my third women’s conference.  Abounding Faith’s BELOVED Women’s Conference will be in October. I’m thrilled to welcome back Nyack College as the Presenting Sponsor.

I’m looking forward to the surprises God has in store for the rest of 2019.

How is your year going?

Do you remember the “One Word” you chose at the beginning of the year? Are you remembering to Pray, Dream, Do & Repeat?

Are you seeing God’s faithfulness in your daily life? I sure hope so!

As we look ahead to the second half of 2019, I hope you will continue the year on fire for the Lord!

If you need a boost in your faith, Abounding Faith’s uplifting books, podcast, blog and YouTube channel are here to help spur you on as you live your God-given dreams.

I’d also be delighted to share a Bible-based message with your group and share the love and hope found in Jesus at your next retreat, chapel service, outreach or other event. Here’s a super short video that highlights some of the speaking and writing I’ve been called to do in this season of my life. You can also learn more here.

If you’re still feeling called to write a book, I’d be happy to help make that dream a reality. For a limited time, I’m offering a “Write that Book” Strategy Call to help guide you in your book writing journey. You can learn more here.

May the latter half of your year be even better than the first!

I hope to continue sharing more good news with you. Thanks for your encouragement and for staying on this journey with me.

Let’s make the rest of the year the best of our year!

Blessings!

 

Reflections on Teaching the Abounding Faith Class at a Local Bible School

“Taking this course changed my life.” – Student, Abounding Faith: Believing God for the Impossible class

I’m still in awe of the beautiful feedback I got from the lovely ladies in my Abounding Faith: Believing God for the Impossible summer class at the New York School of the Bible (NYSB).

What a blessing it was to teach a class based on one of my books at the same Bible school I attended a few years ago!

It was a joy and honor to encourage my students to BELIEVE!

I’m overwhelmed by their feedback.

The same student quoted above said reading the Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible devotional helped to awaken barren places in her life and helped her be content in other areas of her life.

Another student is hoping there will be an Abounding Faith Part 2 class.

To my delight, I kept gaining students as the weeks went on instead of losing students during the beautiful summer Saturdays in NYC.

I was stunned when one lady showed up during the last class and announced, “I’m prepared to fail this class because I haven’t been able to make it the other weeks, but I had to come to meet you. You were so vibrant on the phone.”

I’m speechless. The Lord loves to surprise me!

The women were sweet, smart and studious. We had lively and heartfelt discussions about the Bible heroes we covered in class and about what God was stirring in our hearts.

One student said that as she was reading the Abounding Faith book, she felt the Lord calling her to pursue her bachelor’s degree and get better prepared for her future ministry work. Amazing!

Others shared how they were encouraged by the Bible heroes they read about and were challenged  by the reflection questions in the Abounding Faith devotional.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from teaching a summer class on Saturday mornings in June. I didn’t know who would show up and how it would go, but God provided the students and met us in class each week.

I’ve been at podiums and pulpits at churches and chapel services lately.  I’m grateful that God saw it fit for me to reenter the classroom setting.

Back when I was a student in this very same room, I never dreamed that one day I’d return as a member of the faculty. I’m honored that the NYSB gave me this opportunity to teach a class based on one of my books.

I’m also honored to have gotten to inspire my faithful students.

Only God knows what’s next…. thank you for your prayers and encouragement!

If you’d like to get a copy of Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible, you can find it in print or on Kindle on Amazon.

If you’d like to invite me to speak at your church, school, conference, chapel service or other event, you can learn more here.

Book 4 Cover Reveal!

I’m praying this book inspires you to trust God in a deeper way and encourages you to live your God-given dreams!

The book includes stories of how God chased me down in Australia, how I felt His call on my life in Israel and how I’ve seen His fingerprints during short-term missions trips to five countries as well as on the streets of New York City. It also includes some favorite blog posts, a chapter on how you can live your God-given dreams and a discussion guide.

I’ll be sharing plenty more about the book as the October release gets closer.

Book 4 Update – Production Time!

“God will write your story, and you will tell it.” Those were some of the final words my dear Pastor Johansson said to me during our last meeting before he got ill.

It’s a bit surreal to be in the production phase for my fourth book. All Glory to God!  It’s been a long journey to get to this point…. This book has taken me most of my life to live and hours and hours to write and edit.

Writing another book is no joke, but I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for your prayers and encouragement! God is Good!

I’m praying Book 4 will bless and inspire you.

Stay tuned for lots more details as the fall release gets closer.

If you’d like to be among the first to see the cover and more, I invite you to become a member of Abounding Faith’s Dream Team by clicking here.

Let’s encourage people on their faith journey together! Blessings!

Book 4 Update!

I’m delighted to share that my editor had such lovely feedback about Book 4!

She said I did a wonderful job on the book and that my manuscript was a huge blessing. She loved learning about me and traveling with me to different countries. She said my testimony of how God did a miracle in me and then used me to spread His Good News around NYC and the globe was a true inspiration. All glory to God!

After a few tweaks and edits on my end, the manuscript is now back with my editor for her final look.

The editing phase is one of most challenging parts of the writing process. I appreciate your prayers as I near the end of this part of the journey. There’s still much more to come before the fall release.

I’m delighted to invite you to join Abounding Faith’s Dream Team! As a Dream Team member, you’ll be among the first to:
