From my heart …

Dear Friend,

How do you sum up a year spent immersed in God’s Word? From the launch of our Wonder of the Word initiative to True Woman ’25 to recording seventy-two episodes for our 2027 journey through the Bible, what a joy it has been to soak deeply in Scripture this year.

It’s no surprise: Psalm 1 reminds us that for those who love God’s Word, there’s no sweeter place to be. And the benefits of being planted beside Scripture’s cool, refreshing streams are not just for us—God feeds and nourishes us so we can feed and nourish others.

That’s what we’ve done at Revive Our Hearts for nearly twenty-five years as we call women to freedom, fullness, and fruitfulness in Christ. On each page of this Annual Praise Report, you’ll get a glimpse of the fruit of that mission. What a privilege it is to steward what He has entrusted to us in this season of global and generational impact.

As you read, please pray that we will continue to bear fruit in season and that He will bring forth a great harvest of righteousness. Thank you for being a friend to this ministry and for participating in what God is doing.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Nancy
Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth

“Instead, his delight is in the LORD’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams that bears its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.”

Psalm 1:2–3

Broadcasting & Podcasting A Stream of Living Truth

Nancy in the studio recording

Revive Our Hearts produces an ever-flowing stream of audio and video content rooted in God’s Word—refreshing weary hearts, nurturing spiritual growth, and equipping women to stand firm in their faith.

Rooted, Refreshed, Revived

Women are experiencing the freedom, fullness, and fruitfulness of Christ, like these three listeners who shared their stories with us.

Every time I listen to the ROH podcast the Lord always—and I mean always—speaks to me, and I feel like I’m getting a new understanding of His Word.

—“Grace”

My favorite ROH podcast series is “Adorned,” and it was through this season that a process of conversion happened in my life. Through sound doctrine my eyes were opened, and I began to see how much of the world was inside me. I now have a blessed marriage and two beautiful children. If I had never listened to this podcast, my life story would be different.

—“Emily”

I listened to the podcast “Your Will Be Done: Rebecca Ellerman’s Story” and was moved by the way this sweet woman shared the gift of hospitality and opened up her home to host Bible studies, as her whole family became Revive Partners. I thought, Why am I not doing this? I want to demonstrate that kind of hospitality to my kids. So the Lord moved my heart to become a Revive Partner, and I also felt prompted to host a Bible study in my home.

—“Jessica”

  • 147 Wonder of the Word Episodes

    Nancy has now completed recording more than half of the Wonder of the Word episodes that will take listeners on a year-long journey through the Bible in 2027.

  • 2,507 Radio and Podcast Releases

    ROH daily and weekend half-hour programs plus daily short features in English and Spanish alone were heard over 2,500 times daily on more than 1,300 radio outlets in North America—and via podcast platforms around the world.

  • 80 Million Digital Listens

    Our Spanish and English podcasts totaled more than 80 million digital listens in the past year—impacting lives around the globe. This number doesn’t include tens of millions of shares we were unable to track.

International Expansion Life-Giving Waters

God is using the message of Revive Our Hearts to flow like a river across cultures and languages, bringing gospel hope and revival to dry places around the world.

Nourished by God’s Word in Cuba

The country of Cuba can be a challenging place to live as a Christian. Churches and their leaders are closely monitored by the government, often facing restrictions and legal harassment. On top of that, the nation is experiencing a severe economic crisis, making it difficult to obtain food, fuel, and other essentials. Yet even amid these hardships, God is working through Aviva Nuestros Corazones to spread the life-giving waters of His Word throughout the country.

“Rosa” is one woman whose life has been transformed. From her home in Havana, she pours her heart into caring for her husband and two young daughters—a role she calls her greatest ministry. Two years ago, her pastor’s wife introduced her to ANC. “From that moment,” Rosa shared, “the Lord has used each episode and blog post to transform my spiritual life, my marriage, and my mothering.”

As Rosa found nourishment through God’s Word, she’s been thrilled to see that same growth in the hearts of other Cuban women. “I’m so grateful that women are being encouraged and exhorted to embrace biblical womanhood—to surrender control to God, to believe that Heaven rules, and to trust that the Lord has not forgotten our nation.”

Fifteen groups of women gathered throughout Cuba to watch the True Woman ’25 livestream in Spanish.

Reaching Hearts Worldwide in 2025

Japan

“We are so excited to have Revive Our Hearts materials in Japanese. There is so little Christian literature available to Japanese women. My early days in Japan were spiritually dry because I lacked spiritual encouragement. Now, I can listen to your podcasts as I take walks and work around the house. What a blessing this has been to those of us in countries outside the United States.” —“Diana,” Missionary to Japan

German

Belebe unsere Herzen released its first Revive Our Hearts podcast, marking a significant step forward in reaching German-speaking women with gospel-centered truth.

French

Réveille Nos Cœurs celebrated its fifth anniversary and launched the Seeking Him podcast, further equipping French-speaking women to pursue personal revival and deeper intimacy with Christ.

Republic of Congo

A local radio station began airing Revive Our Hearts podcasts in French this April and hopes to expand the broadcast to more than twenty stations across West and Central Africa.

Malay

Through a new partnership with Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC), sixty-six Revive Our Hearts programs have been translated, produced, and distributed throughout Southeast Asia, extending the reach of God’s truth to women in this diverse region. Listen to a sample.

Vietnamese

Over the last four years, FEBC has produced more than 1,200 audio and video Revive Our Hearts programs for the women of this language group.

Digital & Social Media Taking God’s Word to a Digital Dry Land

This year, we’ve seen the Lord use our digital platforms as channels of living water—bringing peace, hope, and truth to places where God’s Word is scarce or even suppressed.

In partnership with Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC), fifty-three segments of Revive Our Hearts teaching have been produced and released in Russian. These gospel-centered messages are reaching a culture where truth is often buried beneath propaganda, misinformation, and fear—and where hundreds of journalists have been imprisoned or forced to flee.

The Lord is also ministering through Revive Our Hearts in war-torn regions. In Ukraine, Alina—the voice of Nancy in Ukrainian—shared how their recent content has focused on comforting young widows grieving the loss of husbands killed in war. She writes:

In the past two months, I haven’t had a single night I could sleep through peacefully—they are bombing us relentlessly. That’s what millions of Ukrainian women are going through. That’s why, when they hear words of life and hope in Nancy’s programs, they respond with open hearts.

For many women, these digital touchpoints are more than just encouragement—they are a first introduction to the gospel. They open the door to deeper conversations and often lead women to connect with a local church.

  • Speaking to the Hearts of Young Moms

    Aviva Nuestros Corazones (Revive Our Hearts in Spanish) launched a dedicated Instagram broadcast channel dedicated to engaging with young mothers—the primary audience of their podcast Que amen a sus hijos (Love Your Children).

  • 2.3 Million Instagram Reach

    Our Instagram reach increased by 165% from last year. More than 90% reached are beyond our current followers, showing how the Lord is using this platform to meet women searching for hope.

  • 24% YouTube Growth

    Adding Réveille Nos Cœurs (French), Belebe unsere Herzen (German), and Aviva Nossos Corações (Portuguese) boosted global digital engagement—bringing gospel-centered truth to women in their own languages.

Online Events Equipping Women to Pray with Passion

Real life needs real wisdom. That’s why Revive Our Hearts launched our online event series—designed to help women view every circumstance through the lens of Scripture, with the Savior in sight.

We hosted “Developing a Vibrant Prayer Life,” the final event of this series, in which Lori Hatcher, Karen Ellis, Kathy Branzell, and Erin Davis equipped viewers to pray with greater passion and conviction.

Women around the world gathered with open Bibles—in places like Quebec, the Cayman Islands, São Paulo, and San Francisco. One woman shared, “Joining a bit late from Nepal—one woman commented. “Glad to be able to connect.” Together they learned how to boldly approach the throne of grace.

Bible teacher and author Lori Hatcher encourages viewers to pray the promises of God back to Him.

Online Events Provide Teaching in Spanish

Aviva Nuestros Corazones hosted three online workshops designed to meet women in various life stages. “What Guides Your Choices?,” “Teachers of the Word,” and “Heart of the Home” provided focused teaching and encouragement for Bible teachers, young women, and women of all ages.

Revive Partners Inspired by WoW Vision

Revive Partners from around the world came together online in July for an inspiring evening of vision and encouragement. The event highlighted what’s ahead in the Wonder of the Word initiative and celebrated what God is doing through their faithful partnership.

“I love the ability to interact with ROH sisters from across the world. It brings me to tears when we’re all together soaking in the beauty of God’s Word.”
—“Maria”

Leaders & Ambassadors Pouring into the Lives of Leaders

Like a river nourishing the land around it, Revive Our Hearts reaches women’s ministry leaders and pours into the lives of pastors’ wives, equipping them to thrive in the vital work of discipling women.

God has been moving! Meeting you has given me a safe place to begin talking. Thank you for being such an encouragement and listener. —Ohio Pastor’s Wife

Publishing Rooted in Scripture

Revive Our Hearts remains committed to helping women bear lasting fruit by rooting their lives in God’s Word—the life-giving stream that nourishes the soul.

A Place of Quiet Rest and A Place of Quiet Rest Journal

Through the updated release of Nancy’s first book, A Place of Quiet Rest: Finding Intimacy with God through a Daily Devotional Life—and a companion journal—women have been invited to meet God daily in His Word and to cultivate an intimate, consistent devotional life.

God is using this book to transform hearts, including one twenty-nine-year-old mother of three, who shared:

I regret to say that I started this study with dread. “You mean I have to get up every morning and set aside time with the Lord?” I’m embarrassed now that I ever felt that way. True, it was a struggle the first few days, but soon I began to have a hunger to know His Word. Now, I want to never stop learning, and every morning I look forward to my cup of coffee and time with my Lord.

This woman’s journey from reluctance to delight echoes the promise of Psalm 1: those who meditate on God’s instruction day and night are like trees planted by streams of water. They bear fruit in season, their leaves do not wither, and their lives are marked by the blessing of joyful obedience.

True Woman '25 A Global Celebration

Women from across the world filled the Indiana Convention Center October 2–4 to lift high God’s precious, powerful, life-giving, transforming Word. Your prayers and support paved the way for women to behold Jesus.

Speakers proclaimed truth from God’s Word with boldness and grace. In response, women flooded the altar, knelt with friends in prayer, and responded to personal conviction with a simple, wholehearted “Yes, Lord!” With dozens of messages and interviews captured for future use, we are trusting the Lord to work through each one as they’re shared with audiences via radio, podcast, and digital platforms.

“The beauty of Christ in you is breathtaking.” That’s what Dannah Gresh told Ciara Dierking on stage at True Woman ’25. Ciara shared her incredible testimony of how she found gratitude in the midst of a life-changing illness.

  • 6,000 Attendees

    Women filled the Indiana Convention Center with joy and expectancy to meet with God.

  • 50 States

    Online and in-person registrations included women from every state in the United States.

  • 53 Countries

    True Woman ’25 felt like a taste of heaven, as fifty-three countries were represented on-site and online.

  • 5 Livestream Languages

    Sessions were broadcast simultaneously in English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. Livestream viewers watched from living rooms, college dorms, and church buildings all over the world.

  • 366 Teens

    During the “Wonder: Word over World” breakout, teen girls were inspired to dive deeper into Scripture and experience its life-changing power; they also celebrated a prelaunch of the highly anticipated Wonder app.

True Woman '25 Three Generations Shaped

It began in a busy home with little ones underfoot and Revive Our Hearts playing in the background. When Crystal Mullins heard Nancy speak on revival, something stirred in her heart. That prompting led her to attend her first True Woman conference in 2012.

Mullins family

I had never been to a conference like that—for women, by women. I was reminded that I wasn’t alone. The Body of Christ is alive.

By 2014, Crystal returned to True Woman—this time with her fourteen- and fifteen-year-old daughters by her side.

It marked the beginning of walking with them not just as their mom but as sisters in Christ. We weren’t just handing faith down; we were walking in it together.

Thirteen years after her first conference, Crystal attended True Woman ’25 with all three of her daughters (two of whom are now mothers), her baby granddaughter, and her daughter-in-law.

Each conference leaves its mark. I’ve been moved by Scripture, convicted by truth I didn’t want to hear, and reminded of God’s faithfulness. True Woman is where I’ve said “Yes, Lord” in some of my hardest—and most important—moments.

True Woman is more than a conference. For Crystal and her family, what began as a personal turning point has become a legacy—three generations shaped by God’s truth.

We had forty women from seven different churches attend the True Woman ’25 livestream. The ROH Ambassador for our state came and supported us and brought resources for the women to browse. We copied the in-person conference in every way we could—our pastor, elders, and men from our church were downstairs praying over the event/prayer cards, and we offered a prayer room staffed by women from our church. The youngest in attendance was four months and the oldest was in her eighties. The wonder of the Word is for us all! —“Lisa”

When Colleen Chao was interviewed at True Woman ’22, she didn’t know whether she’d ever return to Indianapolis due to a battle with cancer. But three years later, she and her son, Jeremy, sat down with Nancy for a tender and inspiring moment.

International Events Watered in the Word

Women Feast on God’s Word in Spain

  • Women worshipping at Ishah conference
  • Aviva Nuestros Corazones staff taking a picture together

Aviva Nuestros Corazones (the Spanish outreach of ROH) hosted a dynamic two-day event in Granada, Spain, titled “Ishah: The Glory of Womanhood.” Without any official promotion, the conference sold out, drawing one thousand women from across Spain, other parts of Europe, and Central America. Women left nourished by the Word and encouraged in their call to biblical womanhood.

I arrived hungry for Him, and He has given me a banquet.

—“Sofia”

The Word Is Alive in Brazil

  • Women listening God's Word at conference in Brazil
  • Women praying together at the conference in Brazil

Aviva Nossos Corações (ROH in Portuguese) welcomed author and Bible teacher Mary Kassian for a series of events in Brazil. From the very first gathering, it was clear that hearts were ripe for harvest. Young women filled the front rows, hungry for truth. Many others came forward in response to the gospel—some giving their lives to Christ for the first time. God’s Spirit is moving in Portugeuse-speaking women around the world.

Watch as Mary Kassian shares the life-giving truth of God’s Word with women in Brazil.

“It felt like the fruit was ripe and falling from the trees.”

—Mary Kassian

Journey Through the Bible A River Flowing to the Next Generation

Bringing the Wonder to Teen Girls

In January, we are launching an exciting new app designed to help teen girls experience Scripture in a fresh, engaging way. “Wonder” is an interactive community, creating a safe, vibrant space for girls to open their Bibles daily, hear God’s voice, and grow in wisdom—together.

“We want girls to be wise to the Word and ignorant of TikTok,” explains Dannah Gresh, founder of Pure Freedom, which is partnering with Revive Our Hearts to create the app.

Want a sneak peek into Nancy’s teaching sessions? Enjoy this preview of her Wonder of the Word programs.

Preparing Hearts to Wonder

In the recording studio, Nancy’s passion for God’s Word has been contagious. As she teaches, a hunger for truth is ignited—not only in our team and guest audiences but also, we pray, in countless women who will soon listen. We can’t wait to unveil this resource to the entire Revive Our Hearts community in January 2027.

To pave the way for this launch, we’re pointing women toward God’s Word in every way we can:

  • True Woman ’25 focused on beholding the wonder of God’s Word.
  • In 2026, we’ll offer a year-long Bible reading journey with daily prayers and reflections—designed to cultivate awe, consistency, and personal revival.

Ministry Center A New (Yet Familiar) Home

After twenty years of calling it home, Revive Our Hearts is now the official owner of our global ministry headquarters! In August, by God’s grace and provision, we purchased the building that has served as our home office for the past two decades—thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors and the unanimous support of our board.

This beautiful property includes:

  • 47 wooded acres
  • The Revive Our Hearts Ministry Center (RMC) (35,000 sq. ft.)
  • Order fulfillment center (4,500 sq. ft.)

More than just a physical space, the RMC will continue to serve as the strategic home base for Revive Our Hearts’ growing global initiatives. Owning the property gives us greater flexibility and capacity as we look toward the future.

Our partnership with Life Action Ministries, who previously owned the property, remains strong. In a beautiful example of gospel-centered collaboration, we’ll lease back a portion of the building to them—just as they once did for us.

I am deeply grateful for the timely opportunity for Revive Our Hearts to purchase the ministry center, I believe this home will provide a base for even more fruitful ministry for years to come—for our current team, as well as for the next generation of leaders and staff.
—Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth

Ministry Center Opportunities

We are grateful for what the Lord has done—and full of anticipation for what He will do in this new season. Ownership is exciting but also costly. As we move toward necessary updates and improvements, we anticipate capital expenses for overdue facility upkeep, including a new roof and HVAC system.

Would you join us in praying—and giving—as we prepare for what’s ahead? If you’d like to give specifically toward the building project, please contact your designated ministry representative or Development Director Brent Halvorsen.

Looking to the Future A Faith-Filled Prayer, A Forward Vision

Revive Our Hearts stands poised with a renewed sense of mission and expectancy. With God’s help, we anticipate expanding the reach of our Wonder of the Word (WoW) initiative into underserved areas across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. We believe WoW will serve as a powerful gateway—introducing new audiences to the life-giving truth of Scripture and the transformational message of biblical womanhood and personal revival.

This global vision includes:

  • Developing international distribution strategies.
  • Cultivating new partnerships for translation and local engagement.
  • Reaching millions more women with gospel hope and biblical teaching.

Lord, we are desperate for You. We can’t do anything without You. May You flow through us. Revive those desert places—bring much life and abundance. May the name of Christ, the wonder of our Savior, the wonder of the gospel, the wonder of Your Word—be loved and cherished, surrendered to, and exalted.

—Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth

We also see God stirring hearts here at home. In the United States and across the Western world, millions of women are engaging with this ministry—hungry for something more. Their response reveals a growing desire for a movement of God that would glorify Christ and bring in a season of flourishing for His people.

No matter how many we are able to reach, our mission remains the same: calling women to freedom, fullness, and fruitfulness in Christ.

If that vision resonates with you, we invite you to join us. Around the world and across the street, there are women who need Christ. There are dry and weary places that need to be saturated with the living water of His Word.
