both of you convert to Catholicism it's the only way to receive the fullness of faith given us by the Lord Jesus. Only two things will draw non-Catholics into a greater faith, the Eucharist and ancient Liturgy both missing from all Protestant Christian communities.
To quote the great former Anglican orator John Henry Newman
"when one becomes a student of history, one ceases to be Protestant"
Find his books especially "development of doctrine"
Last minute pointers: make prayer central

If her faith is genuine, and there is no reason to doubt that, then the Holy Spirit will indwell her and lead her into truth. She will have a new appetite for the Bible and should read and study it all she can. She should have a new love to be with God and should spend a good amount of time in prayer. She will have a new desire for being with her new spiritual family and should seek out a good bible believing church when she can meet new christian friends and get encouragement, and be an encouragement to others. It is all very natural when it is real. When these things take place, faith is the natural result.

Developing faith is like Developing relationship with a new person. The only difference in this is that God knows everything about you anyway. You are just developing your relationship with Him by getting to know Him, His Word and His Ways even better. God will develop your faith as you are willing to have it developed. You will grow and grow in the faith as you can experience your daily walk with Him. It is worth it.

You need only faith as big as a mustard seed....it will grow from their in its own time. Try to remember that all of the disciples and teachers in the bible were older and that God takes his time with you and you will grow in your faith like a fine wine over time.

Continue study in the Word. Find promises she can stand on. Surround herself with positive like thinkers. Introduce her to people who have had answered prayers. Get her a copy of Jesus freaks by DC Talk (The Book).

Instead of gaining more faith, use the faith that we have today. Often we get caught up in saying 'if I only had more faith', God is more interested in what we do today than our intentions.

She is now a light to the world. The more GOD she puts into her life the brighter her light will shine. If she wants an abundant spiritual life she needs to submerge herself in God. Go to Bible Studies and foundation classes. Make sure you are in a King James Version Bible believing church. (Not one that uses a messelett or a lectionary or an insert in their bulletin to preach from but one that uses the real Bible to teach and preach from.) Listen to sermons, tapes, CDs, DVDs. Fill your life up with God. Fellowship with other Christians. And she needs to tell other people about what Jesus has done for her. We call it "giving our testimony" or "testifying". Make it a goal to read the entire Bible in a year. In order to do that you only need to read 4 chapters a day. Also read 1 proverb every day...there are 31 proverbs which means you should read all of them in one month. For months with only 30 days, just read two proverbs on the last day of the month. For February, just read two proverbs for the last 3 days of the month. And read one Psalm every day.
She can download sermons for free at my Church's web site. We have people all around the world who come to our web site to listen to the preaching. My church is AWESOME!

Tell her to go to church and get involved with a youth group or other ministry. Also, tell her about how to do daily devotionals. Its best to start at John and then read the rest of the Gospels. I hope that helps! Merry Christmas!

For me I started doing what God asked me to do.Satan told me how bad it would hurt if I done them but I was determined to do what God wanted anyway.I found out being obedient to God didn't hurt at all.Example: I have an apology to make and Satan is telling me I don't owe that person an apology,they won't except it,or maybe they should apologize to me.I go and apologize as God is asking me to.It was nothing like Satan told me it would be,I now have a beautiful friendship and me and my new found Friend understand what the problem was.They are sorry to and apologize as well.I just increased my faith by proving Satan a liar.Satan likes to lie to us , and to often we listen to his lies and never grow in the grace and freedom that God has in store for us.

First off, find a body of believers where she feels comfortable. She needs to get involved in a good church. Second, read the Bible and pray every day.
