Nancy Kay Grace

Within eighteen months, Nancy experienced the life challenges of sending out her adult children, the loss of one parent and the illness of another, and her own cancer diagnosis. All this caused her to draw closer to the Lord through personal prayer and worship. She has continually developed an "inner sanctuary" with the Lord, which has been her refuge and strength.

The Lord has given Nancy the victory of His peace and courage over difficult circumstances, and she desires to pass this hope on to others.

Nancy has continually taught Bible studies over the years, and communicates the word of God in a precise, deep and challenging way. She often meets to disciple women one-on-one. Nancy's heartfelt desire is to help women be over comers through God's grace.

Nancy is married to her best friend, Rick, who is a senior pastor in northwest Arkansas. They have served in the pastorate for 30 years, and have developed a partnership ministry. As a seasoned pastor's wife, Nancy can encourage the hearts of pastor's wives and understand their unique lifestyle and needs. She is a freelance writer and has been published several times in "Just Between Us", a magazine for women with a heart for ministry.

Rick and Nancy have also developed their own marriage enrichment seminar and are available as keynote speakers for banquets. Currently they are writing a book for ministry marriages. Together they enjoy leading worship, and relax by golfing and bicycling. They have two grown children.

Additionally, Rick and Nancy are a presenting clergy team couple for the international ministry of United Marriage Encounter. They have presented "Marriage Encounter Weekends" in England, Malaysia, and throughout the U.S.

Nancy has completed the "Speak Up with Confidence" training. As well as having a bachelor's degree in Family Services, Nancy has earned a certificate in Biblical counseling and women's ministry by completing the Extraordinary Women course through American Association of Christian Counselors.
