Notes of encouragement for Nancy and tributes to Robert
Nancy: Así como nos has acompañado durante diversas etapas de nuestra vida con tu invaluable trabajo en Aviva nuestros corazones, hoy te queremos acompañar nosotros, en esta etapa humanamente difícil de atravesar...Pero como decimos por aquí: Robert simplemente se nos adelantó...tarde o temprano volveremos a reunirnos con nuestros hermanos en Cristo. Un abrazo apretado desde Argentina.
Nancy, Bob Hawkins, Jr. here from Harvest House Publishers. I have known Robert since the 1980's, though, amazingly, his family lived on the same street as mine in Wheaton when I was in grade school and Robert was in college. Though our paths did not cross much for decades, they did on occasion and in significant ways. About 15 years ago, that changed. Our team has worked very closely with the agency he started. Robert was a strong and influential leader that garnered the trust of authors and publishers alike. He was kind, gentle, yet savvy and gifted in his trade. He will be missed. May God grant you His strength as you rest in His care moving forward, Nancy. Bob Hawkins, Jr. President Harvest House Publishers
Dear Nancy, I am from Mexico. I am a wife and mother of two, and I have been a listener of your ministry for several years. Although as daughters of God we rejoice because in the Lord we have the eternal hope of enjoying and worshiping our God together in His glorious presence, where there is no more crying, pain, or sickness, I grieve with you because I cannot imagine the natural pain of saying goodbye, even for a moment, to your faithful and best friend, your husband. However, thank God that it is not a goodbye, but a see you soon, soon when we will be reunited with our Redeemer and King. And by the way, it will be a great pleasure to finally meet you in person. For now, I ask the Lord to embrace you with His love, joy, and peace, that now more than ever you may be filled with His tender presence and the power of His word. "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 While "we wait for the blessed hope, the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ." Titus 2:13 With sincere love, i send you a big hug, your sister in Jesus Christ, Rachel.
Estimada Nancy, que Jesús consuele tu corazón ❤️, el volvió a casa del Padre, lamento que pases esto qué en nuestra humanidad no deja de doler y deseo que sigas adelante y con tu testimonio nos nuestres a muchas mujeres como superar una situación como la que hoy estas pasando un fuerte abrazo.
Nancy may God continue to give you the strength and comfort you need. Blessings to you and your family. Love from your Listener Toni❤️🙏🏾
Dear Nancy, My heart breaks for you as you have said, farewell, to your dear Robert. Of course there is much rejoicing for him, but many tears for you as you continue your journey through life without him. As Psalm 98:1 says “ O sing to the LORD a new song, for He has done wonderful things, His right hand ( Jesus) and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him.” There are so many songs in life that we would say no thank you to! But the Lord continues to open new doors for ministry with every passing test. When I got the announcement of Robert’s home going, the thought came to me that you have received admittance into yet another arena of life…daughter, sister, friend, single woman, married woman and now, widow…allowing you to have a greater understanding of what it really feels like to be in that place of life. Your ministry has been such a huge blessing to me, and my husband…to continue to press in to Jesus and live life according to His ways. We have been married for 59 years and I think the past few have been the best…mainly because the Lord has shown His way more clearly than ever…your daily podcasts serve to bring my heart back to His way of peace and joy and Godly thinking. I can’t thank you enough and I will, of course, continue to pray for comfort and courage for your heart. And for your ministry to spread ever further! Your sister in Christ, Linda Fralich
My deepest sympathy to you and family Nancy, on the death of Robert. may his soul rest in perfect peace and praying that God will console during this period of grief. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am so thankful to have known and worked with Robert. It was a blessing to be able to have talked and spent time with him at "Revive Our Hearts" this past year. Robert has touched the lives of so many. I am praying for Nancy and all of the family and friends, but I am grateful to know that Robert is in heaven.
The marriage weekend last year was very nice. ❤️ 🙏
I am sorry for your loss, and in the midst of the pain, I wanted to thank you both for been a role model and a live example of a biblical marriage. You've taught me so much, but I know your rewards before our Lord are greater than anything else. With Love I will remain remember all the lessons. Heaven rules.
Dear Nancy, My name is Denisse, and I am from Mexico City. I am truly sorry for your loss. Please know that I have been a dedicated listener to your podcasts for several years. Your words have been so encouraging and helpful. I thank God for your life, and I believe that these temporary sorrows will also serve as encouragement to many others who face similar trials. Last year, I gave my husband a copy of Robert's Bible for Men. He is reading it this year with me, and we are both studying the Bible in 2026. You can't imagine how much of a miracle that is. Thank God for your Robert's life and for yours as well. With love, Denisse
Nancy, Knowing your beloved is safe in the arms of Jesus must bring your heart much peace and joy, I know that you will also be filled with sadness and pain for the coming days. As you start this new chapter that God has written, I want you to know that I am praying constantly for you and your family. You and Robert and Revive Our Hearts has had an incredible impact on my life, and has help equip me to disciple other ladies at my church. Thank you for your relentless obedience to the Lord over the years and continuing to be a faithful shepherd during the storm.
Dear Sister Nancy! My family and I LOVE Robert and you so much. We are so GRATEFUL for the two of you. Thank you for being such a great marriage example to me; and many other marriages. Our heart aches for you and your beloved family. Our ache in such time as this; comes with hope in our good Lord and savior. May God, continue filling your heart with his PERFECT love and peace. “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”… HEAVEN RULES!! With LOVE, RESPECT and ADMIRATION, Russell and Sayda Flores (Houston, Tx)
Mrs. Wolgemuth (Nancy), first of all, my deepest condolences and prayers for you during this deep loss of your dear husband. May God give you the grace and peace that passes all understanding to withstand this season of grief for the man you love. He was a man of great faith and leaves behind a legacy of integrity and love that men of this age can follow. May God direct your steps in the coming days, weeks, months, and years. Your faith has been a bulwark to all those watching and hurting with you. Thank you for your love for God first and your love for your husband. It is a testament of faith to a watching world. God bless you and comfort you.
Nancy un abrazo a la distancia, El Señor me ha hecho orar por ti, en la madrugada y lo seguiré haciendo le doy gracias al Señor por el ministerio. No es fácil pero se que El Señor te ama y hay tristeza pero también esperanza te quiero regalar Eclesiastés 3: 11-12. Quiero que medites en estos versículos Pido al Señor de su poder y su fuerza para que recibas la Paz del Señor, sabiendo que El estará siempre contigo y nunca te dejará.
I’m so sorry Nancy 💔 I’m Hugging your Heart and Praying for strength from Our Lord Love You 💗
Nancy, Mi esposo, mis hijos de 14 y 15 años y yo, nos unimos para rogar a Dios por consuelo para su alma, por fortaleza y paz en su mente y corazón. Nos duele tu dolor, hemos llorado contigo. Pero también nos llena de esperanza saber que Robert está con Jesucristo y que Dios le ha permitido dejar un hermoso legado de fe en esta tierra. Te abrazamos desde Calgary, Canadá.
Para mi querida hermana en Cristo Nanci: El cielo gobierna, Dios es bueno, Bueno es Dios. He seguido tu ministerio por más de 13 años por recomendación de una amiga, en ese momento eras soltera y yo también, tu ministerio de servir por completo a Dios me ministraba a permanecer soltera para el Señor hasta que me case el año pasado a mis 32 años, nunca había tenido novio y yo realmente no buscaba casarme, solo busco cada día con todas mis fuerzas hacer la voluntad de Dios para mi vida, me enseñaste a no aferrarme a la soltería como ídolo en mi corazón y a ver el matrimonio como un instrumento que Dios usa para moldear mi carácter y que me a enseñado a amar a mi esposo de una forma de amor ágape que no viene de mi misma ni mis sentimientos sino del amor de Dios que deposita en nuestro corazones. Hoy al enterarme de la pérdida de tu amado esposo me duele el corazón por qué esta ausente en el cuerpo pero me llena de gozo que ya se graduó y ahora está presente al Señor. Se que Dios está en ti y estás siendo fortalecida por El y en El, solo quiero decirte que tú y tu familia están en mis oraciones, que los amamos en Cristo y aunque no nos conozcamos en persona pero al pertenecer al mismo cuerpo lo que le duele a una parte del miembro le duele todo el cuerpo. Estamos con ustedes. Traducción inglés For my dear sister in Christ, Nanci: Heaven reigns. God is good—good is God. I have followed your ministry for more than 13 years, by the recommendation of a friend. At that time, you were single, and so was I. Your ministry of serving God wholeheartedly ministered to me deeply, teaching me to remain single for the Lord until I married last year at the age of 32. I had never had a boyfriend, and I was not truly seeking marriage; my only desire has always been to seek with all my strength to do God’s will for my life. You taught me not to cling to singleness as an idol in my heart, and to see marriage as an instrument God uses to shape our character. Through this, I have learned to love my husband with an agape love—not one that comes from myself or from my feelings, but from the love of God that He pours into our hearts. Today, upon hearing of the loss of your beloved husband, my heart aches because he is absent from the body, yet I am filled with joy knowing that he has graduated and is now present with the Lord. I know that God is in you and that you are being strengthened by Him and in Him. I simply want you to know that you and your family are in my prayers. We love you in Christ, and although we do not know each other in person, as members of the same body, when one part suffers, the whole body suffers with it.
A big hug for you Nancy in Christ Jesus ♥
May God and Jesus may continually guide you and bless you and yours in every thing that you guys been through here on earth and in everlasting life in heaven amen 🙏🏾
