Nadine grew up in a Christian home in Miami. Shortly before her tenth birthday, her pastor visited her in the hospital (she had broken her leg). During their conversation, Nadine realized she needed to believe on Jesus as her Savior from sin, and was born again (John 1:12; 3:3, 16–18; Romans 10: 9, 10, 13; Ephesians 2:8, 9). After her cast came off, she was baptized (Acts 2:41).
Nadine and Lou attended the same very large church but did not actually meet until two weeks before Nadine left for Florida State. God brought them together at a going-away party, they eventually married, and “the rest is history,” which includes three children—two sons, Lance and Lamar, and a daughter, Luann—and seven grandchildren. On September 2, 2011, Nadine and Lou will celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary! All of the Gentrys’ children and grandchildren live in the West, so Lou and Nadine spend much of their summers traveling west in their RV and visiting their family.
After Lou and Nadine moved back to Florida from Hiawassee, Ga., a few years ago, they spent a year visiting area churches. They kept returning to Faith Baptist, and the Lord let them know this was where He wanted them. They have become active at Faith, with both singing in the church choir, among other things.
Nadine is an important part of Women’s Ministries at Faith, including serving as a care cluster leader. She enjoys scrapbooking and making calendars, but her passion is leading ladies’ Bible studies. Since joining Faith in August 2009, Nadine has led four Women’s Bible studies. The fifth one, Fingerprints of God, will begin soon. You have two options if you want to be a part of this Bible study.
- One option meets Monday nights, 7-9pm, at Nadine's house, and will start March 28th.
- The second option is a Thursday morning class at the church, 9:45am-Noon. It will begin March 31st.

Nadine Is a wonderful lady, if it was not for her help I would not of been able to attend some of the Bible studies and all of them have helped me through the good and not so good times in My life. Thank you Nadine for being a True Sister in Faith.
Truly Nadine and Lou are servants in every way. They have just been a tremendous blessing to me in the weeks that I was able to be in Nadine's Bible Study. She goes way beyond what she would have to do in everything she does and Lou is so good to help. God bless you both with many years of faithful service.
