A Podcast Heard in a Remote African Village

If you wanted to pop in on Danielle Hurley, it would take you approximately twenty hours to get to her house—by plane, not including layovers! As you can imagine, this missionary wife and mother of six could easily feel isolated.

But thanks to technology, Revive Our Hearts is able to drop by Danielle's kitchen every few weeks. "It opened a whole new world for me," she told us when she discovered our online programs.

Worth the Wait

Danielle spends her days serving those in Kubamitwe, a remote village in Uganda, Africa, so she needs to be filled with God's Word in order to continue pouring out to others. That's why every few weeks she travels two hours from her small village to the capital to get the only Internet connection in the area—and even that's slow!

It takes her about twenty minutes to download the Revive Our Hearts podcast in that little coffee shop, but it's well worth the wait for Danielle.

Thanks to your support, we can offer Revive Our Hearts programs and transcripts for Danielle to download all the way over in Uganda, for such a time as this.

She returns home with a couple of podcasts, and as she's making dinner in the middle of the jungle, she listens to Nancy. "There has been many a day I have tears streaming down my face," she told us, "because I'm feeling so ministered to by a godly woman who now is in my kitchen in the jungle. It's an amazing gift."

Spreading the Message

But what's really amazing is that Danielle hasn't kept that gift to herself; she's been busy sharing it with others.

She and a team of elders' wives are studying True Woman 101 together on Tuesdays, and then on Wednesdays each leader is taking the material to one of six surrounding villages in Uganda.

Danielle released each limited copy of True Woman 101 to these leaders on the condition that they would faithfully teach the material to their village Bible study each week. To ensure a thorough comprehension of all the material, they divided the eight-week study into forty weeks and translated each day's homework into their local language, Luganda.

And . . . it's spreading even further than that!

Just last month, Danielle taught True Woman 101 to over 400 young women at a National Youth Conference, and she has been given the opportunity to teach it to over 600 women at a National Women's Conference this December.

Because of You

Thanks to your support, we can offer Revive Our Hearts programs and transcripts for Danielle to download all the way over in Uganda, for such a time as this. If you could drop by Danielle's home, she would thank you for "the fellowship of women to listen to in my kitchen." Somehow, I think the women she invests in each week would thank you wholeheartedly as well.

"It's inevitable that our hearts will be revived," Danielle says, "because that's what the Word does, and that's what the ministry of Revive Our Hearts is built on."

God has provided new opportunities to speak to women around the world over the Internet.

Women around the world are being transformed through God's Word for the first time. Would you help Revive Our Hearts take advantage of these opportunities for worldwide reach?

Now is the time to strengthen and encourage those on the front lines who are sharing the gospel with every nation on earth! Your gift by midnight tonight will not only do just that, but it will also be matched. Give now.
