Notes of encouragement for Nancy and tributes to Robert
Dear Nancy, The Lord is your strength and your song. The Lord be with you, comfort you, be your Joy and be your shield. You have been such great encouragement to my Sister and I. We are Nigerian ladies between the ages of 23-26 and we listen to Revive our Hearts most likely everyday. We have been blessed by the messages and grown spiritually through them. We believe it's a new season for you and we are certain the Lord will carry you in His Arms till the every end. You are Loved Ma, with Everlasting Love and Underneath lies the Everlasting Arms. May God water you as you have watered many. Amen. Love, Mercy and Grace.
Dear Nancy, I closely followed your updates on your Caring Bridge site, but regrettably was not able to post a note to you due to tech issues with my computer. Your posts and books have blessed me and I feel like I have known you from afar. I am so sad with you for your earthly loss, yet know that God's Word and God's People will be a comfort to you. Your trust in God's sovereignty during Robert's recent hospitalization was an encouragement to me. Sending my love and sympathy from afar. Sincerely, Marsha Atkison in Wilmington Delaware
Dear Nancy, I'm sorry for Robert's death and the new arena of suffering that you are walking through. I praise God for the hope we have in Jesus of seeing our loved ones again. Praise God for heaven and the day of resurrection. May the Lord Jesus himself, surround you with his strength and with his presence.
My heart is heavy for the loss his family has to endure, but knowing he is now in the embrace of our beautiful Savior is a refreshment of my soul.
Querida Nancy, desde que comecei assistir e ouvir aviva nossos corações aqui no Brasil, para mim foi um presente enviado por Deus. Comecei a meditar na palavra do Senhor de uma maneira diferente com mais cuidado e amor. Vc é uma pessoa tão doce e transmite o Amor do PAI Recebi a notícia da partida do pastor Robert com muita tristeza. Os conheço tão pouquinho, mas...aqui dentro do meu coração é como se conhecemos a muito tempo. Só o Amor Agápe pode fazer isso. Que o Senhor a console e conforte, p vc poder continuar a jornada , inspirando a cada dia mais, mulheres a favor do Reino dos céus. Em Breve o Amado de nossas almas voltará, e enxugará toda lágrima. Deus te abençoe grandemente. Beijo em seu coração. Daqui continuo orando e sendo agraciada por todas as palavras em aviva nossos corações. Fique na Paz do Senhor Jesus.

May God comfort you and keep you in his love.For all those women who live in toxic relationships your marriage to Robert was very happy and beautiful to see! May God give you the strength to carry on.
Dearest Nancy, Our hearts have been hurting for you ever since we heard of your dear husband's passing. We were not aware of his recent illness since Christmas eve, so it was rather shocking news. Yet, even on that very day, you graciously invited us to come close to you as you shared with us a beautiful message of your final precious moments with your beloved husband as he left this life and entered into the presence of the Lord forever. What a testimony of the great grace of God in your life in one of the most difficult times you have ever experienced. Even as you grieve, you continue to reflect and to teach us all how to surrender every part of our lives to the One who deserves our trust in every single area of our lives. Robert would be so proud of you right now. We are grateful that the Lord blessed the two of you with one another; that He "kept" you just for Robert and made the two of you one union, not only to bless one another but to bless His people through your example and through your ministry together. The love you expressed for one another was a beautiful reflection of the relationship of Christ and His bride. Praise God! We are sad that it was only 10 short years but you both worked tirelessly and packed them full of so many amazing accomplishments and have given so much to the people of God all over the world and will continue to do so through the many different resources that are available for the furtherance of God's Kingdom through your ministry together. Glory be to God! Dear, dear Nancy, as you walk through this new terrain of life without Robert by your side, may you be carried and strengthened by all the prayers of God's people and may the peace of God, which passes all understanding, fill your heart and your mind through Christ Jesus. We pray this for you, for the family and for all the ROH staff. We love you so.
Robert and I grew up together and were best of friends has small boys. We were also first cousins, and in the early years of our lives spent a lot of time together, as both of our sets of parents interacted with each other frequently in ministry. As an adult, ROBERT was a quality guy of impeccable character, who lived his life with mission and purpose, and the desire to serve his Lord and Savior. I will miss him until we meet again.

Thank you Lord for the days and months that Nancy and Robert enjoyed together. Their lives together gave such hope and continues to do so. To see the love and joy they experienced with each other was such a testament of Your love to us all that can be experienced here on earth, but is fully realized with You in heaven. Thank you for the bounty You have given and will continue to give Nancy and all the family as You uphold them. We are so grateful for Robert and his beautiful witness of You to the world. Thank you Nancy for sharing your love and we pray for you as God lifts you up and gives you all that you need. Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Nanci, he estado orando por tí y por toda la familia, para que el Dios de toda consolación siga consolandoles especialmente a ti. Gracias por ser de tanta bendición para mi vida y para tantas mujeres en todo el mundo, que Dios te siga usando grandemente .🙏 un abrazo desde México, bendiciones.
Nancy you are continually in my prayers as you grieve the loss of your dear husband. Your ministry has made such a deep impact on my life and my daughters too. After Robert's passing, I been listening to some podcasts on Robert and reading blogs and that has deeply impacted me too. Wow what a beautiful servant of Christ he was. I am so very sorry for your loss. Praying for God to uphold you, strengthen you and give you the wonderful peace of Jesus. Psalm 91:1-2 "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will REST in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Nancy, I do wish God holds you tight in his arms not only these days, but whenever you need! My husband died 10 years ago (Jan 6th), 7 months my mom was gone and I felt His Love and Grace even in those são moments!
Nancy, gracias por permitirnos ver esta situación tan privada de tu vida, es impresionante como el ejemplo de Robert y el tuyo han guiado el corazón de muchas de nosotras hacia Dios. Gracias por tu vida y por la vida de Robert, estarás en mis oraciones para que la paz de Dios te de aliento en esta nueva etapa de vida.
Nancy & Family - May God continue to give you the grace to walk with His strength throughout your lives without Robert's physical presence. All he poured into your lives will continue to grow in your hearts and actions. His love for Nancy was a beautiful thing to witness - his love for her and The Lord changed my life. Be blessed and know Heaven Rules. Mary Bulthuis
Oh dear Nancy, my heart has been so broken for you in your grief, and so yet grateful that God allowed you and Robert the gift of each other, which in turn became a gift for innumerable other people. Thank you, from someone who observed from a distance, for the way you and Robert modeled life and marriage so beautifully. I pray that God will infuse these difficult days with his sweet presence and grace, that he will comfort you and that he will soften your deep grief with wonderful memories. God bless you, my dear sister.
Nancy, My heart is heavy for you as I too, have lost my precious husband (in 2001) and know the excruciating pain of loss. I also know the tender mercy and love of the Lord and His sustaining Grace, every moment of every day! He is FAITHFUL! You have been an example to so many women and continue to be; I have listened to your program since Gateway to Joy ended. I LOVE and so appreciate your faithful attention to giving your listeners the Word of God over and over again. This is what we need and what God uses to sanctify us, to change us and to cause us to press on in faith. Thank for laboring far into the night to bless us so richly. We are praying for you... for the Lord's tender care and comfort for your grieving soul. Just think of the reunion in Heaven that awaits all of His Body. With love, Susie
