Stand on the Promises is authored by Mabel P. Duncan.  It is not a conventional devotional website.  Mabel likes to deal with people in a very personal way, and has taken the insights she received while in meditation and brought them to the web to share with “whosoever will.”  It is a heart to heart sharing of God’s Word.  Therefore, the format from day to day will differ.

Mrs. Duncan has been married for more than forty years to Mr. Herman Duncan.  As a licensed translator, Herman contributes to Stand on the Promises by helping in the technical translations from English to Spanish.  

Earlier this year Mabel felt the call to dedicate herself to sharing God’s love through the promises in His Word, via the web.  Though she has been a public speaker for the greater part of her life there were times when she wondered if she would be able to carry out this commission successfully.  At these times she was reminded that “all of God’s biddings are enablings.”  Her public participation has included conducting evangelistic meetings in her home church in the Republic of Panama, where she was born; and having the joy of seeing Jesus draw souls unto Himself.  She has been the keynote speaker on many, and varied, occasions, and thoroughly enjoys meeting people.  At present she is serving as an assistant pastor in Southern California.  She is the mother of four adult children:

Mrs. Julie L. Duncan-Archibold, the wife of pastor Winston W. Archibold-White.  They are the parents of Mabel’s first grandchild, Michael Wayne Archibold-Duncan!  Julie is the author of a unique book entitled The Brainstormer. Think, Imagine, Create.  Her contribution to Stand on the Promises is in marketing. She will also help by translating from English to Spanish.

Dirma C. Duncan, is the marketing consultant for Stand on the Promises, and recently finished and published her first book, Going Somewhere? A Modern Parable. A fascinating book written in story form, dealing with the question, How are we saved? By Grace or by Works? Her contribution to the website will be in the form of translating material from English to Spanish. 

Dr. Ricardo A. Duncan-Hoyte, currently resides in the Republic of Panama. He will soon be contributing to the Article of the Month page, with topics on health.

Renee E. Duncan-Lara, wife of Angel M. Lara-Gil, lives in Spain.

Mabel has a deep passion for studying, and sharing, the Word of God with others.  Her heart’s desire is that something she says or does will allow someone to get to know, fall in love with, and finally accept, Jesus, as their personal Savior.  And that everyone she meets, who already knows the Savior, through some kindness on her part, will love Him even more! 

She considers it a tragedy that there are people in the world who do not know that there is a Savior who loves them and died to save them!  Her life’s mission is to find as many as she can, and share His love with them!
