Nancy Sylvester, grew up on the mission field in Mexico. Her parents traveled like gypsies from village to village sharing Jesus love among the poorest of the poor. As a young adult, she graduated from Calvary Chapel Bible College and Horizon School of Evangelism, where she met her husband. They both went on to serve at Calvary Chapel Prescott until the Lord called them to plant a church in York England and establish Calvary Chapel Bible College York.
For the past 25 years, she has served as Pastor’s wife, counselor, Women’s Ministry leader, Dean of Women, and Bible College teacher. She has spoken at retreats and conferences for women across America as well as internationally throughout Europe. Closest to her heart, she has raised and home-schooled her four children who are now serving the Lord in various areas. She is an active grandmother to her many beautiful grandchildren and loves every minute of it. Best of all, she is a devoted wife of almost 40 years, co-labouring beside her husband and best friend Dave, to bring Jesus' love to this generation.

What People Are Saying
“I absolutely love this Journal! It has allowed me to pause, reflect, and
record all the treasures found in You’re More Than Dirt. It has helped deepen
my understanding, and the additional scripture passages give me even more
promises to find! It is the perfect book for individual or group study!”
New Jersey, USA
“This Journal enabled me to stop and take time to think about the life
lessons the Gardener taught Birdy in the garden. Journaling these truths
drew me much closer to the Gardener of my soul, and showed me how to
love others the way He loves me.”
North Carolina, USA
“You’re More Than Dirt is a beautifully written book that has encouraged my
walk with the Lord. I look forward to the Journal!”
California, USA
“Journaling has helped me to really take the time to think about what the
Lord is telling me and how He is shaping me during this season of my
life. The book is amazing by itself but having the Journal has allowed me to
dig deeper and find the biblical references in which the book is based.”
Costa Rica
“This Journal is a beautiful keepsake for this season of my life with the
Lord. Journaling my thoughts and looking up the scriptures that frame each
chapter has helped me to remember these promises when I doubt my faith.
My prayer is that this Journal becomes a keepsake for others.”
Pennsylvania, USA
“One of my favorite quotes from this book is, ‘Live from the truth of who
I AM and what I’ve created you and your garden to be.’ As you read the
book you will imagine your own garden. And if you allow, Jesus will come
in and start to transform your life. I’m looking forward to using this
Journal that accompanies the wonderful allegory of our relationship with
‘Love’ Himself.”
