Letter from Nancy

Dear Friend,

No matter how mature we might be in our relationship with Christ, at times we all grow weary in doing the things the Lord has called us to do—especially as we get older. We wonder, How can I keep pressing on?

An incident in the life of Moses gives us one important key: we aren’t meant to do this alone.

In Exodus 17, as the Israelites battled Amalek, Moses stood on top of a hill and held up his staff. As long as his hands were raised, Joshua and the troops were victorious. But when Moses became tired and his hands drooped, the enemy began to triumph. When Moses couldn’t hold up his hands any longer, Aaron and Hur came alongside him. They supported his hands and kept them in the air so the Israelites would experience victory in the battle.

If you and I are going to make it all the way to the end of the battle, we need the help of others and the support they can provide. We can’t do it alone.

Ministering through Revive Our Hearts is a great privilege, for which I am deeply grateful. But there are also great challenges in this work. And it simply would not be possible to have kept going over all these years, apart from the people God has brought into my life to help hold up my hands in the battle. Their prayers and encouragement have been a huge means of grace and strength. And it’s my desire to provide that same help to others in their walk with the Lord.

That’s why we hold events like the recent Revive Our Hearts Sisters in Ministry summit, where we were able to come alongside a group of younger women with a passion for teaching God’s Word. And it’s why we’re so thankful for our faithful ministry partners.

As you serve the Lord in whatever calling He has entrusted to you in this season, may you find help and encouragement from friends and fellow servants who come alongside of you. And when you feel like you’re fighting the battle alone, may you know that the Lord Jesus Himself strengthens and supports you.

Together for His glory,

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth
