Notes of encouragement for Nancy and tributes to Robert
As muitas águas não poderiam apagar esse amor nem os rios afoga-los . Cantares 8.7 Querida e estimada Nancy, Um versículo muito usado nas cerimônias de casamento, mas que fala de um amor que ultrapassa as alegrias de uma bodas, porque vai muito além, quando por um momento as luzes da vida se apagam e o brilho perde seu fulgor e as águas parecem densas, o amor está ali, do mesmo jeitinho do início, nos levanta, nos revigora, nos faz caminhar, esse verdadeiro amor só se encontra em Jesus, que um dia esteve nas suas bodas e continua com você ainda hoje. Com muito carinho e oração por ti

Vidas Preciosas que son ejemplos a seguir, tanto Robert como Nancy, les admiro y respeto profundamente y se que El Señor es nuestro Consuelo en tiempos de Aflicción.
I heard on the radio of your husband's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this heartbreaking time. May your memories together bring you comfort and peace.
Your love story greatly encouraged me. I had been single for what the world would say was a long time. I turned to Jesus for hope and strength and revive our hearts ministry really encouraged me. After years of following the ministry I read that Nancy found love and was getting married. This encouraged me greatly and I believed that if God could bring a wonderful man into her life he could do it for me too and it wasn’t too late for me. I dared to hope in God to give me the desire of my heart that I desired for so long. I read your book when God writes your love story and held onto God. Many years later, God too faithfully brought a good man into my life and as God would have it, we married on your wedding anniversary without knowing. Nancy, I pray that as God has used you both to encourage me and others in our faith, God will continue to show himself faithful to you and surround you with love, that your will always feel his presence and strength at every moment of every day. I am praying for you, God bless you richly and God bless revive our hearts ministry.
I am sorry for the exit of Robert from the Earth and your presence. I am joyful that Robert put his life in Jesus hands and lived it. I just share, because there is lacking in our marriage and request seeming to fall on deaf ears.. just recently, I told my husband that I think he should pack a bag and after work, go to his parents house instead of coming home. It's been days and of course my husband comes home every night. I do not like the state of our marriage. My heart sunk as I recently heard of Robert being sick. And then seeing the emails of him being in his last days. And then I heard of a family friend whose husband was also in his last days. Then I heard Robert went Home. And just yesterday, January 12th, the family friend's husband went Home. And here I am trying my husband that I think he needs to go for some time because I'm tired of saying maybe of the same things for 10 years. With temporary to no change. Lord, forgive me for being selfish. Forgive me for making it about me. Heal my marriage. Show that my marriage belongs to You. I pray for Your peace for these women whose husbands have been in Your presence. Be in their presence. In Your name amen
Hi Nancy, I didn't know your "Bo" just enough to know he was a very godly man, and was very blessed to have you, he really did love shepherding his wives, you could tell. My sweetheart was 21 yrs. older than myself, I was 28 when we married, in 2009, he was 78, I lost him suddenly of a brain aneurism, out on the tractor, I loved that man, so much, he loved God. Nancy, I know, you are experiencing "the peace of God, that passeth all understanding," that peace is priceless, and only God can give it. Nancy that same peace that you are experiencing, right now, is the same peace that will help you to go on without your "Bo." A few days after I lost Stan, Pastor (Phil Siefkes) looked at me and said, "Connie, God promises to take care of widows." Nancy, l saw it over and over again, in the little things and the big things. People will surround you with their love, and want to help you, let them Nancy, they love you. You will be so physically and emotionally drained, it is hard to even spend time with the Lord, like you want to, when you are so exhausted. God understands that. I have listened to you a lot, and have been so ministered to, thank you Nancy for your faithfulness, thank you for the work you put in to give the Word out accurately. I can tell you are genuine, when I heard of Robert's passing, their was a deep ache in my heart for your loss, because I have come to love you very much, dear sister, in Christ. I will leave you with this verse, that spoke of the work that God did in my heart during my loss. "I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eyes seeth thee ( K.J.V). Not sure who said this, but I would like to share it with you, "Suffering is to show us the attractiveness of Yahweh." You are very loved, Nancy, and I am praying for you. Connie Rasmussen
Rest in Paradise.
Es mi Oración, que la Paz y Esperanza que traen a nuestra vida, las promesas de nuestro Señor, sean para ti como bálsamo en este duro momento. Que puedas sentir el abrazo cálido de Nuestro Padre celestial!
Querida Nancy, mi nombre es Mónica Watson y vivo al norte de México, conocí su ministerio en el año 2016 y desde ese tiempo sus enseñanzas han fortalecido mi vida cristiana. Doy gracias a Dios por sus vidas, la tuya Nancy y la del Hno Robert, han sido de ejemplo en muchas áreas. Confío en que nuestro buen Dios obrara su consuelo en sus vidas y El será glorificado. Dios les bendiga Nancy!
I am A volunteer of ANC I write representing a great number of Latinoamérican women that have been praying for both of you. We love you and we have followed every post prior to the graduation to heaven of your dear husband to pray for. Your life has ministered to use since many years, first following ROH and since 2015 ANC. We admire you and your husband as an example of Christ and His Wife. Without words you have taught a lot. I have seen you live your love, your covenant and I am sure the Sprit of the Lord will give you the peace and courage to serve without the presence of you husband. You can count upon our continued prayers. We love you in the distance. “Él nos consuela en todas nuestras dificultades para que nosotros podamos consolar a otros. Cuando otros pasen por dificultades, podremos ofrecerles el mismo consuelo que Dios nos ha dado ha nosotros. Pues, cuanto más sufrimos por Cristo, tanto más Dios nos colmará de su consuelo por medio de Cristo.” 2 Corintios 1:4-5 NTV
"Entonces Jesús le dijo: Yo soy la resurrección y la vida. El que cree en mí vivirá, aunque muera; y todo el que vive y cree en mí no morirá jamás." (Juan 11:25-26). Aunque Robert ya no está, su legado de amor por Jesús y Su palabra perdurarán. Su testimonio de vida y su amor por Nancy fue una muestra del amor de Dios. Su historia de amor fue un hermoso ejemplo de Cristo y Su Novia. Juntos hicieron un gran equipo para hacer que millones se acercarán más a Dios y a Su Palabra. Nancy, estamos contigo en este momento, y elevamos oraciones a nuestro maravilloso Dios para que sigas experimentando ese gozo indescriptible al saber que "EL CIELO GOBIERNA". Este es mi consuelo en medio del dolor: que tu promesa me da vida. (Salmo 119:50) Con amor, Pedro Justo Berrío y Margarita María Álvarez
Nancy, Great is God's Faithfulness as you well know and teach! I pray for you often each day as I think about what you might be going through right now. I have been going through the grief process as my husband recently stepped into Heaven Christmas Eve 2024, 53 years to the day he came to know Jesus as Savior. Honestly, I don't know where 2025 went. I have called some of it my "numb bubble." Jesus' own compassion and intimate tender care surrounds you and me! Know when I say I understand, I truly do.
I'm grieving the loss of this dear man of God. Nancy has been a mentor from a distance for my heart since I was a teenager and I first started listening to Revive our Hearts on the radio. Her speaking and writing has had a direct influence on why I'm now serving as a missionary with my family in South Korea. I was so encouraged by Nancy's devotion to God as a single woman and also eagerly followed her journey into marriage. Ten years together must feel too short. I'm currently preparing to teach the book of Song of Solomon and I am referencing her teaching on that book so much. Now I'm reading it with new eyes and a tender heart to pray for her as she grieves the loss of her Beloved. I'm inspired to channel the love of God better to my husband, my children and my community. Death is not the end. At the end of Song of Solomon the poem states passionately that love is strong as death. Love is a person. His name is Jesus and he is more than a match for death. He is Nancy's Beloved who will never leave her side. I'm praying that when she misses Robert's hugs, she will feel the arms of Jesus wrapped around her, drawing her ever deeper into His love.
Nancy and family, my prayers are with you in this time of goodbye to Robert this side of heaven. It is not an easy task the Lord has given to you all, but yet, He is there in every moment and in all the moments ahead. He is able in this time, even when we are not. I was blessed to attend a True Woman conference a number of years ago and my friends and I had the blessing of meeting Robert briefly. He was an amazing man of God and I was so blessed by the story that God wrote for you and Robert. I have several of his books on the home and family in my collection, and am so thankful for the wisdom he shared through so many of these books, podcasts, and conferences. I am thankful for the blessing you all had in your marriage, in a story that only God could author, and for the testimony of Christ that stands so beautifully in his life, and in his homecoming. Praying for you and the family as you navigate these days ahead, continuing the ministry of Christ.
Amado Dios, te damos gracias por la vida de Nancy, nuestra hermana en Cristo, la hemos conocido a través de sus videos y sus libros. Es una mujer que ha rendido su vida a Cristo y compartido de su gracia y su plan de salvación. Te damos gracias porque en el otoño de su vida le enviaste a Robert para mostrarle tu amor a través de un esposo maravilloso, gracias por el tiempo que les permitiste caminar juntos. Oramos que la sigas llenando de tu amor y paz. También a sus hijas y familia Señor, que los abraces y consueles como solo Tú lo sabes hacer. En el nombre de Jesús. Amén 🙏
Dearest Nancy and family. It's painful to lose a loved one but we have the assurance of God's comfort and peace. "Precious in the eyes of the LORD is the death of His saint" (Psalm 116:15). Robert is now enjoying sweet fellowship with his LORD in Beulah land. We wait for our moment. Much love and condolences during this difficult time. God's presence is always with you and there is fullness of joy.
My sincere condolences at this time Nancy. I will hold you and Robert's family in my prayers. You have been and continue to be the consummate role model of a Christian living the life that we're all called to. Thank you for modeling this in my life since your first True Women conference. I've only missed two. Well done good and faithful servant. Well done.
