“The Lord led me to this ministry while He was pursuing me towards salvation. I had a strong desire to be a Christian all my life; and when I was in university, I found this ministry while searching "women's ministry" on Google. I was drawn to the holiness of Nancy's messages and material and learnt a lot about what a godly life of a woman looked like.
I thought I was a Christian that entire time, because I had "accepted Christ" earlier at an evanglical meeting at a church one Sunday. However, it wasn't until more than 9 years later, that the Lord finally revealed to me that Jesus was a historical person who walked on this earth 2000 years ago. I was attended a much healthier church at that point and questioned my pastor one day if I was saved if I never realized Jesus was a real person in history, and I had only actually been recently convicted of my sins.
He went through 1 Corinthians 15 with me, where Paul wrote my faith was in vain, futile, and I'm even misrepresenting God if I don't believe Jesus came to this earth, died for my sins, and resurrected! At that point, with the illumination of the Holy Spirit, I knew that I didn't believe that - and from that moment I regave my life to Jesus - this REAL Jesus person who existed in history, and is most indeedly alive now!
FIve months later, I was rebaptized in front of the new body of Christ the Lord had brought me to, where solid and sound teaching was present, which was how I ultimately realized the historicity of Jesus and the Bible.
But I would not have recognized sound, conservative teaching of the Bible, if I wasn't exposed to the ministry of Revive Our Hearts. This is where I developed my conservative convictions and views of Christian living. TIm Challies also happened to be one of the pastors of our mother church who planted us, and I knew he was somewhat within the circle of ministry as Nancy - so I took that as a sign from God that I was at a healthy church. The Lord also used Lindsey Wagstaffe (now Lee) to sit in front of me during my first service, who I recognized - and later confirmed - and since she used to be from Revive Our Hearts, it was another sign to me that I was in a sound church.
All because I knew Revive Our Hearts was a sound conduit of the Lord's teaching. Thus, from that I was able to be led to sound spiritual communities in Toronto where I could grow in my walk with the Lord in a local church.
Thank you, Nancy, for your ministry.”Read full review »

“During this difficult time in my denomination concerning women, your Biblical teaching is a blessing to me. I pray the Lord will use me to teach and mentor other women about our Biblical roles and God’s Word.”
