I am Nancy Mwabili, a master piece of God’s grace. My deep passion is to see humanity blossom, which I do through teaching, mentorship, coaching and more recently added to the list – writing.
I consider my call to be impact and transformation, anchored on Isaiah 58:12b (NIV Version), “You will be called repairer of broken walls, restorer of streets with dwellings”.
An MBA graduate, I have undertaken coach training and certification, possessing International Coaching Federation credentials. I am also a certified emotional intelligence practitioner. I serve in the market place as a human resource leader and have had the priviledge to influence at the apex in different organizations for 16+ years.
An ordained minister of the gospel, I am priviledged to serve alongside my husband of 27 years, Apostle Othniel Mwabili with whom we are blessed as parents of 4 adorable children.
Our parenting journey was delayed, which looking back, I reckon was part of God’s way of crafting a beautiful testimony for His glory.
Our first 11 years of marriage unfolded as a wilderness experience as a result of childlessness. They were characterised by disappointment and own emotional turmoils, rejection, judgement, stigma; and I often wondered, “am I not beyond marital and maternal expectations?” Even as congregational leaders, having taken up pastoral responsibilities in our 5th year of marriage, I found myself exposed and not insuliated from the brutal truth of how society often labels and defines childless women.
Looking back to my childhood, I have always loved writing. I recall my English teacher being so highly impressed by my first ever composition when I was in standard 6, that it was used as a benchmark for standard 8 pupils.
I struggled at the fact that I could not pursue Literature at the University, and its with gratitude to God that I retrace and rekindle this awesome gift of and love for writing.
Hope Unbowed is my first writing work, and I am currrently working on my second project.
Inspired by my journey of waiting, God placed in me the burden to tell my story in this manner, as a ministry tool to provide a balm for many women and couples who are fighting secret battles. Through this writing, I testify boldly, that it is possible, without masking the depth of the turmoil and complexities that characterised the journey. As the title of the book suggests, it is to inspire faith and hope in God even in seemingly “impossible” situations. How else do you explain this kind of grace, from 11 years of waiting, to the priviledge of parenting 4 children including a set of twins, with no medical intervention?
I am delighted to have you as cheerers in this journey. Shalom.
