Nancy, I remember watching a video of you and Robert’s story on how God brought you both together and it moved me. A woman that spent her time and singleness living and working for the Lord! A man who also loved the Lord and reaching lost souls for Him. Y’all’s story is a testimony even to those in the later age :) Praying for you and his family, for the revive our hearts family as well. May God continue to give you strength and knowing he has finished the race and with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Dio ti consoli come solo Dio può fare Ti abbraccio forte
Praying for you and the family.
Lord, It Belongs Not to My Care Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share, And this Thy grace must give. If life be long, I will be glad, That I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad To welcome endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than He went through before; He that unto God’s kingdom comes Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet Thy blessèd face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet What will Thy glory be! Then I shall end my sad complaints And weary sinful days, And join with the triumphant saints That sing my Savior’s praise. My knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim; But ’tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with Him. Words: Richard Baxter, Poetical Fragments, 1681. The following notation accompanied the hymn: This Covenant my dear Wife in her former Sickness subscribed with a Cheerful will.
My heart hurts for you but yet Heaven Rules. God has graciously used Revive our Hearts to transform my life in so many ways. May you know God’s grace in new ways as He walks with you through this path. Although we have never met, you are like a sister or a dear friend, and I will be praying for you. Isaiah 41:10, 13
We will continue to keep your family in our prayers.. grateful for your testimony and example of a godly marriage ..✝️🙏
Although I have not yet had the privilege of knowing Nancy’s DH, Robert, I was always moved and encouraged by the kindness and gentleness of his interactions with her on the recording streams and conference videos. He seemed to be as good an undershepherd as anyone could have wished Nancy to have. I’m so sorry the earthly chapter of Nancy and Robert’s love story ended so soon, and I trust with you that the Lord is still writing a good story. May your grief carry the light of hope within it, Nancy and family. It seemed perfectly fitting that our friend Charles Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening devotional yesterday morning was about the crowns awaiting us, and the evening selection was resurrection hope. Pasting the morning selection here, with the prayer that it strengthens and comforts. “There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness.” 2 Timothy 4:8 “Doubting one! thou hast often said, ‘I fear I shall never enter heaven.’ Fear not! all the people of God shall enter there. I love the quaint saying of a dying man, who exclaimed, ‘I have no fear of going home; I have sent all before me; God’s finger is on the latch of my door, and I am ready for him to enter.’ ‘But,’ said one, ‘are you not afraid lest you should miss your inheritance?’ ‘Nay,’ said he, ‘nay; there is one crown in heaven which the angel Gabriel could not wear, it will fit no head but mine. There is one throne in heaven which Paul the apostle could not fill; it was made for me, and I shall have it.’ O Christian, what a joyous thought! thy portion is secure; ‘there remaineth a rest.’ ‘But cannot I forfeit it?’ No, it is entailed. If I be a child of God I shall not lose it. It is mine as securely as if I were there. Come with me, believer, and let us sit upon the top of Nebo, and view the goodly land, even Canaan. Seest thou that little river of death glistening in the sunlight, and across it dost thou see the pinnacles of the eternal city? Dost thou mark the pleasant country, and all its joyous inhabitants? Know, then, that if thou couldst fly across thou wouldst see written upon one of its many mansions, ‘This remaineth for such a one; preserved for him only. He shall be caught up to dwell forever with God.’ Poor doubting one, see the fair inheritance; it is thine. If thou believest in the Lord Jesus, if thou hast repented of sin, if thou hast been renewed in heart, thou art one of the Lord’s people, and there is a place reserved for thee, a crown laid up for thee, a harp specially provided for thee. No one else shall have thy portion, it is reserved in heaven for thee, and thou shalt have it ere long, for there shall be no vacant thrones in glory when all the chosen are gathered in.” May the Lord comfort and encourage, moment by moment, as you walk through this dark valley. Praying with love and hope
Dear Nancy, In this challenging time of physical separation from your beloved husband, I pray that the boundless love of God envelops you in a warm embrace, filling you with peace and comfort in your moments of longing. May you experience an extraordinary strength that transcends understanding, fortifying your spirit and guiding you through each day. I also pray that you are surrounded by uplifting brethren and heavenly angels, each one sent to support you and remind you that you are never alone in this journey. Remember that you are deeply cherished, and may God's presence be a constant source of hope and solace in your life.
Your dear husband is present with the Lord. What a comfort to know you will be reunited. Condolences on your loss, as you grieve. May the God of comfort make His Presence known in an encompassing way.
Dear Nancy, ever since I heard about Robert's illness, my thoughts and prayers have been constantly with you both. I am deeply moved by how each of you, individually, as a married couple, and now you as the one left behind, live exactly what you have taught us and continue to teach us! Your "Yes, Lord!" in the face of the increasing drama, and your motto "Heaven Rules" even in the face of saying goodbye, leave me with two feelings: holding my breath and yet rejoicing in your vibrant faith! Nancy, we here in Germany are weeping with you for the loss of your "DH," but we also praise our Lord, who enabled Robert to make it well all through the finish line and gave you the strength to be with him! And now we pray that you may be comforted by the loving, fatherly comfort of our God of all comfort! This morning, one of our elders prayed for “comfort for Nancy”—none of us does know you personally, but so many sisters in our church have been blessed by your books and your teaching and are currently doing so because we are working through “Interior Design” together, and your example inspires us! Nancy, you showed us how you lived to God’s glory as a single woman and then finally as a wife—now we in Germany are praying that you will show us that it is possible to live as a widow to the praise of His glory. If I were in your situation, I would listen to your teaching on RoH so that you could comfort my heart with truth. Who is able to councel your hearts according to the truth? I pray that you will receive the truths you taught me through God’s Spirit as comfort for your own heart! „But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.“ (Hebrews 11:16) With deep love, Gabi

Nancy, I'm so sorry for your loss. Robert was a wonderful and godly man and will be much missed. I'm praying for God's peace, comfort, and presence to surround you and carry you through.
May God give you peace and joy in the midst of this sad season. Praying for you and Robert’s family. We believe Jesus will comfort all of you!
Querida Nancy Que el Dios de toda consolación te abrace y te cuide en este tiempo, no nos conocemos pero estoy orando por tu vida! Abrazos de una obrera lista para ir al campo!
Dear Nancy I write with a very heavy heart and tears for you, in the news of the loss of your sweet sweet and dearest husband. How wonderful that the Lord gave you marriage later life to such a wonderful man, but how sad to loose him so soon. I know that you will be well cared for by the RoH family and your own family and friends. I am praying the Lord will provide you with a period of time for mourning, processing, rest and ultimate calm and peace before returning to your teachings. I have followed you for 15 years, discovering RoH whilst my husband was studying at John MacArthur's seminary. We returned to the UK and had 4 short years in ministry before the church was torn in two, dissolved and sold. I would not have made it through these years, having to uphold my husband through the devastations, without you, RoH and the lovely Grounded sisters. I thank you so much for all your solid biblical teachings and therefore am grateful to know with confidence and assurance that Robert is with the Lord in Glory. I look forward to meeting you all on the New Heaven and New Earth, until then, with deepest love and affection in Christ. Fiona, Kent, UK
Dear Nancy, your ministry has been such a blessing in my life. I followed your love story with Robert and it was such an encouragement to see God bring a good godly husband in your life. I am almost 50 and still single but hopeful and praying that if it is God’s will He will bring a good godly man into my life. Robert was such a man and we thank God for this example of man who loved Jesus, his wife, children and others. I thank God for your ministry and for your love story. I pray that God almighty will comfort you during this sad time. God Bless You.
