As a young journalist, Nancy Gavilanes was on the fast-track to success. She had written for a major international newspaper, earned a master’s degree in journalism from a prestigious university, and worked at a women’s magazine in Times Square. But as Nancy’s career soared, she drew further from God. Then God chased Nancy down during one amazing week in Sydney, Australia. Her decision to follow Jesus changed the course of her life forever.
By Faith takes you on a journey of living a life surrendered to God. Through poignant reflections, captivating testimonies, and insightful blog entries, Nancy takes you along as she travels to six continents and the bustling streets of her native New York City. Nancy shares how she has seen God’s fingerprints during short-term missions trips to the Amazon Jungle in Brazil, the Andes Mountains in Ecuador, and the streets and schools in Ethiopia, Honduras, and Peru.
Her story also reveals how after years of keeping her writing hidden, the Lord called Nancy to write and speak for His glory. Nancy’s compelling story will encourage and challenge you to live your God-given dreams and to walk by abounding faith!
By Faith has been endorsed by a staffer at Our Daily Bread Ministries, the former President of Nyack College and a veteran TV producer/manager and former regional director of the Christian Women in Media Association.
By Faith: Adventures and Reflection on Walking with God Here and Abroad is available on Amazon.

“By Faith by Nancy Gavilanes is her personal testimony of how she came to know Christ as Savior; however, it does not fall into the trap that so many personal testimonies do. The main focus of the account is one that is in Christ, one of walking it out and following where God leads even when the destinations are completely unexpected.” – Carla Alvarez, Raised to Walk (Book Review link)
