Grassroots to Global: Revive Our Hearts International Ministry

Revive Our Hearts international ministry efforts may be relatively young, but the seeds of global ministry were planted decades ago . . . in the heart of a little girl named Nancy.

Having surrendered her life to Jesus at the age of four, just three years later, young Nancy Leigh DeMoss began to sense that the Lord was calling her to serve Him as a missionary. In a child’s penmanship, she wrote her parents a letter which is displayed in her home today. Nancy shared her desire to minister to people across the world with the statement, “I shall do this for Jesus only and for Him only shall I do this.”

As God’s plan for Nancy’s life began to unfold, it was clear that her assignment was not to go to the nations in His name, but to faithfully teach the Bible and to call women to pursue personal revival. Revive Our Hearts was born in 2001. Within a few years, Nancy took a big step to address the burden she had felt all along—to call women to live according to God’s design for womanhood and for His glory. What resulted became the True Woman Movement.

The first True Woman conference in 2008 became a catalyst for revival and a return to biblical womanhood in the lives of 100 women from the Dominican Republic, leading to urgent desire for Revive Our Hearts teaching and resources in Spanish, followed by the launch of Aviva Nuestros Corazones (Revive Our Hearts in Spanish) in 2013. But that was only the beginning of this truly grassroots movement.

A small group of women in South Africa launched Revive Our Hearts’ second official international ministry in 2014, while enthusiastic Latin sisters took Revive Our Hearts and the message of freedom, fullness, and fruitfulness in Christ with them around the globe. Their passion to help the women in their regions to thrive in Christ has resulted in Revive Our Hearts teaching in German, Italian, Portuguese, French, and more. And as the Lord has fanned the flame of the desire to know Him more in the hearts of His people, Revive Our Hearts now has content in more than thirty languages!

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth never became a commissioned missionary, but the Lord has magnificently blessed her heart's desire to impact the nations for the cause of Christ.

International Ministry Highlights

Here’s a snapshot of what God is doing among Revive Our Hearts international teams around the world.

New Digital Events in Spanish

In July, Aviva Nuestros Corazones (Revive Our Hearts in Spanish) launched a new initiative, hosting three digital events for women in the Spanish-speaking world. These gatherings, titled Teachers of the Word, Heart of the Home, and Wisdom or Folly: What Guides Your Choices?, provided focused teaching and encouragement for Bible teachers, young women, and women in general. Through these online events, ANC strengthened its international ministry reach, equipping women with biblical truth and encouraging them to embrace God’s design in every area of life.

Revive Our Hearts Podcast Now in Malay

Since beginning production last fall, our partner ministry has produced and shared sixty-six audio and video programs through various digital platforms throughout Southeast Asia. ROH content (along with other material) has been added to MP4 players and handed to individuals—including two brothers who came to Christ after listening. Praise God!

New Bible Studies Available in Farsi

Abigail and Ruth are now available in Farsi! Throughout this project, the team has encountered a number of unexpected hurdles, so we’re extra thankful for how the Lord has used their perseverance to get these studies to the finish line. May the Lord use them powerfully in the lives of Farsi-speaking women all around the world.

True Woman 101 Videos Now Dubbed into Portuguese

We’re deeply grateful to see how God continues to use True Woman 101, and 201, the first Revive Our Hearts resources made available in Brazil over ten years ago, to shape the lives of Portuguese-speaking women. After nearly three years of work, the accompanying video series, previously only subtitled, were recently released with full Portuguese dubbing.

Through the Bible . . . Together!
