Original subtitles

so I have five ladies joining me up here

on the platform and we just saw a few of

you on the video so Laura I'm going to

start with you welcome from the

Dominican Republic Laura Gonzalez I

[Applause]

watched your you talk about what's going

on not just in the dr but in all of

Central and South America and I thought

this just started a few years ago right

2008 it started the seed was planted in

our hearts back then but the movement

has just grown unbelievably in the past

few years as you look at how God is at

work in Central and South America what

what what is most thrilling to you what

is most encouraging and exciting the

faithfulness of God and he is just

active in working and he's unstoppable

and there's nothing stopping him and

we're just following hard after him and

you'd say following hard the speed at

which it is going is sometimes faster

than the speed you can keep up that's

right yeah it's just amazing and we like

I said it's just a few loaves and fishes

and the way he has prospered so

graciously the work of our hands it's

just so humbling and it just comes to

show that he's in the in the business of

bringing everything to himself so 2,000

resources translated into Spanish and

the impact of that because of the web

means it's not just the Dominican

Republic but it's people all over the

world spanish-speaking people all over

the world all over the world that's

right and we had when we first started

we were thinking of Latin America but

there's Hispanic speaking you know

Hispanic women all over the world and

and it's even more than 2000 resources

right now and I should say they have all

been done by volunteers volunteers and

it's amazing

near no you're from Mexico yes yeah and

you how did you first hear about revive

our hearts well I got into the internet

and I listened to one of the programs

but but I'm just wondering what did you

did you know about it no I didn't I was

just looking for something that helped

me to forgive and I just I knew that I

want I had many things differently

because I didn't I was not gonna be able

to have a good relationship with God if

I didn't so I used type forgiveness and

the first thing that came out was

program of the whites that were

interviewed by Nancy and I just heard

that and and God used that he has used

all the different programs to to free my

soul and to go into the gospel and to

repeat the gospel every day to myself

that I needed every day so I'm really

grateful for this ministry and I can see

now why his ministry has been so blessed

and it's because we well there is a lot

of people that believe in prayer and

they I don't know what I have in mind

before I came here I said like we don't

know how many players have been done but

each one of us maybe there's no one that

knows our name but we have been an

answer of a prayer and I'm sure because

that is like God is the foundation

Christ the foundation of this ministry

but prayer had been so important so I'm

really grateful you know you're a

different woman today than you were five

years ago

definitely i buy that listening to that

program make me conscious of my sickness

I confess my sin well first I recognized

it because I wanted to forgive someone

else that have half my heart but then

when I was listening to many programs I

used to listen to Nancy and then make

well get ready for for my job so I was

just listening to Karen and say yes

that's true but then I listened to some

programs about abortion and I couldn't

just listen to those programs and get

ready

I had to your seat and cry and cry and

recognize that it was not that I needed

to forgive someone even I just needed

Christ to forgive myself

well forgive me and I wanted first to

recognize that I was a sinner so God

used that and he keeps using this

ministry and the programs to continue

recognized everyday then I need Christ

and what is wonderful is that I I always

tell my friends that I know why I'm here

I'm not a pastor's wife or a leader in a

church but I'm God's God's daughter

that's who I am now that's what I'm here

that's enough God turned a passion into

a vision with you tell everybody about

the plans that you have for an event in

Mexico we are so excited because

everybody has what did you do to have a

viva nostris corazones or a conference

there in Mexico we didn't do anything

we are just amazed of how God have

decide our country to to host that

conference we are going to have

Mukul birthday Ravi associated next year

March 23 to 25 feet sorry

on March so you all are invited even you

don't speak Spanish you have to go and

we we are expecting at least 5,000 women

so we need your prayers start praying

for five thousand hearts - that will to

know Christ more and our country needs

that altar countries need that but also

Mexico at this time so I invite

everybody to I'll just add pray pray for

break even - right for the money to

break even I sure we we need ministry

partners there we we just pray for our

countries in Latin America to get that

burn - to give to give power to give

their money to ministry so we can reach

more people know if you remember when

how you were feeling when you first

start listening to have even estrus

corazones or revive our hearts just

remember what God did and if you want a

woman that feels the way you feel you

want them to know Christ the way you

know him now

just please get involved not just

telling them listen to the Israeli

program but just get involved just

giving your money even your time your

prayer time thank you

I'm gonna move us across the continent

to South Africa

Henriette we ate them I butchered it

again you're barefoot why because in

load taught me to take off my shoes

before it come on holy ground

tell us about what God is doing in South

Africa and how this vision got birth

with you the law we're really excited

about what notes busy doing in South

Africa

when I come here the first time the Lord

call me to become an ambassador and then

when I got back I shaded to a friend of

mine and we now a team of seven ladies

come together on regular basis

and we start spreading the message now

we've got already 24 2 women 101 groups

and 2 a 1 that's a great book for those

that haven't done the tour 1 I think you

all need to do that one and then we

start with online Bible study groups we

partnered with women at work and so

we've got 6 online Bible study groups

for women that's my can't do the Bible

study at church they do it in the

offices so that's the wonderful to see

that happened and we've already done for

two women conferences about 80 people

paint at a time and the other great

thing that we involved with that we've

been doing is we've got this little

audio Bible it's got the solar panel at

the back and we put some of Nancy's

teachings on this with audio Bible in

different languages we've got 11

official languages so we put the Bible

it's within the process we put the Bible

in the language of the people and then

we are gonna try and we're gonna start

now training illiterate women to become

Bible study leaders of discussion group

leaders so they can listen to a program

of Nancy we call all of us in South

Africa can understand English of most of

us understand English so that gonna

listen to the program and then in the

own language have a discussion group

about that so

the programs and the Bible are on there

in Lebanon wow that's amazing

what is it about the message of true

woman that's resonating with women in

South Africa I think the thing about

unworthy I'm worthy and the people are

so open for the message of biblical

womanhood it's just the other day if

somebody they changed her life in such a

way that two of her teens come to Christ

because and mother change after the 101

they saw the life change that's what

brought that's right yes but that to

feel worthy I think that's the one

thing's great Mary Ann pooja is with us

tell everybody where you live in

Switzerland and your vision is not just

for Switzerland absolutely not no when I

came to the first Truman conference and

for me into in 2012 the Lord really put

a passion in my heart to see it to come

to the spread to the french speaking

world and when I saw the testimony of

Patricia to Saladin that was my heart I

would just weep watching it saying

that's me for the French part I mean I

think God loves all our nation's and he

really wants to bring it to our there

are there parts of the world

now did you grow up in Europe no I grew

up in Windsor Ontario okay

and so as as you think about Europe and

the french-speaking countries in Europe

you're starting to connect with people

online regularly who are praying for

absolutely yeah the Lord has done a

wondrous thing about I used to say I

can't be the only one in Europe who

knows revive our hearts who has this

passion for women's you know sound

biblical womanhood where are the others

Lord and he's been

especially since the end of 2014

beginning of 2015 he's been connecting

women from all over Europe so it's not

even only the French speaking it's

Europe right now it's french speaking

world in Europe and we have a group of

22 precious sisters who are here from

that have come all the way it's it's not

easy with the jetlag and the and

everything else they have come all this

way and I think God has really reached

us in the depths of our hearts this this

during this conference during this time

I'm sure he's gonna set all of them on

fire to go back and share what we've

received this this time it revived our

hearts isn't something that's known in

Europe and Biblical womanhood not

necessarily either and so it's something

new and I think we have our own

challenges because women in our

culture's are maybe not even very open

to this message but God has got other

ideas and he's going to go I mean he's

already doing far beyond what we can

think and imagine and we're just so

excited to see what he's going to be

doing in time to come

we think a biblical womanhood here in

the States as being something that's

countercultural in Europe it's very

counter cultural to follow what the

Bible says about womanhood and that's

true also in the Middle East and Sabrina

is here with us

Sabrina welcome you are tell everybody

what you're doing in in the Middle East

actually you know in Iran

I'm originally from Iran and Iran is one

of the countries in the Middle East

which doesn't speak in Arabic they speak

in Farsi right and since 2014 like there

was a big awakening in back in Iran and

since actually 30 years ago but opened

doors just reported that it is a one of

the actually the fastest growing church

underground Church so it is very

unprecedent in the history of that

country that many Muslim background

people are coming to Christ in one

generation if you go back to 30 years

ago there were just two hundred people

from background Muslim coming to Christ

but right now open doors just estimated

there are over three hundred seventy

thousand people

I have I've seen videotape of you and in

fact I think these folks could go online

and see you you are taking revive our

hearts teaching Nancy's teaching and

translating it into Farsi you've got

your own television program right yes

actually two years ago one of the

satellite TV networks they asked me to

produce some women programs for them and

I had been exposed to revive her heart

since eight years ago and this teaching

was just part of my life it was part of

myself actually my body so I knew that

this is an opportunity an open door for

me to just translate and use all those

teachings for women back there as they

are coming with so many baggages from

their former religion and they they

really love Jesus but they need solid

teaching about especially marriage

Christian marriage Christian family and

Biblical womanhood are you in danger at

all doing what you're doing so far I

don't think so

because we live in California and the

United States but because we are exposed

with my husband and I to the public

everything can happen but we know that

the prayers are with us and we asked you

all of you to just pray for us

we last spring we established our

ministry to just give them more segments

teaching segments to to just make them

available free for free download online

and if you have these cards in your bags

this is our ministry which are we do

have partnership with to revive our

horse

last spring I I translated seeking him

the book of seeking him and we are in

the process of just getting the license

and publishing in and put it online

especially for the our heart goes for

house churches back in Iran to have them

can you imagine that house church is

going through seeking him in Iran that's

amazing that's wonderful I'm that's

Nancy to come up to the platform and in

fact I'm gonna let you have my chair

Nancy I I was just hearing these women

shared their story I was thinking go

ahead I've been a part of some of the

strategic planning for the ministry this

was in nobody's strategic plan who is in

God's that well that's right it was in

God's and you women I know you and we

talk about you and pray for you at the

home base but hearing you this morning

and seeing your eyes and your faces and

your hearts just brings tears to my eyes

and this is just kind of the tip of the

iceberg it's what's coming to the

surface that we're seeing and so

grateful for but I'm sitting here

thinking about the verse that I used at

the close of the program last night that

wonderful benediction in Psalm 67 God be

merciful to us give us forgiveness work

in our hearts and bless us and cause his

face

to shine upon us so that we're

experiencing all of that when we come to

a conference like this and we can listen

to the broadcast when we can read the

resources God is merciful to us he

blesses us he causes us to face to shine

upon us but it's not just for us what's

the next verse so that your ways may be

known upon earth all the earth your

saving health among all the nations

menthe all the nations you know when I

was about maybe 15 or 16 years old the

Lord put on my heart a burden some day

to see him make disciples to be a part

of something that God might be doing to

make disciples in every nation of the

world now we didn't have internet then

we didn't have I had no idea what I

would be doing what we would be doing

and never could have imagined

moments like this but I'd hear these

countries I see these stories and and

and more that we're hearing every day

and I think Lord you are making

disciples women to be followers of Jesus

in every nation of the world in his time

I believe it will be so I wanted we

wanted you to just get a sense of some

of what God is doing and to encourage

you to be praying this is not just for

us this news is too good to keep to

ourselves

we need to be sharing it and would you

be praying for the conference in Mexico

today that all did I say that right in

March that's not very far away there are

a lot of preparations they're doing for

a conference that'll be not too much

smaller than this one a lot of details

and the team in the dr is helping under

Lara's leadership with a view in the

West what's going to so nice and if God

puts it on your heart to come volunteer

or serve or give or something to help be

a part of that you let us know it revive

our hearts and let's see how we can plug

you and so pray for the our sisters in

Latin America who will be coming to that

second International Spanish speak

true woman conference Mary will be there

Danna will be there damn risk our ball

I'll be there and Who am I missing Betsy

Gomez you got to hear her pray last

night he's precious we're so looking

forward to that and then would you be

praying for our sisters in Iran the

Persian women the Farsi speaking world

our sisters in Europe I understand that

you all are needy over the internet what

monthly to pray tell me about that yeah

there are several of us who meet monthly

we have a monthly day of prayer and fast

but Nancy we connect a lot more than

what monthly to pray together you know I

had a group of women from I don't know

half dozen countries sitting out on the

deck of my house several a couple months

ago having dinner and just hearing their

stories it is amazing so be praying for

these women in Europe and yet theatre

was with us representing the Spanish

women speaking women in Germany right

yeah that's right and go figure

yeah do you guys are yeah she and I are

Europe I think I mean God so God is

raising up these women Mexico or through

Latin America and then in South Africa I

got to meet with this group but just

before we left Michigan there these

women they have so much energy they just

keep going jet lag doesn't stop up

nothing stops them but they are praying

and they're dealing with some hard hard

things they're talking and praying can I

say this got maybe having a true woman

conference in 2009 19 yes honey how old

are we going with all the speakers and

now it's public

you can't go back now

and I said where would you hold it and

they said well we have a church in

Pretoria that's right seats

7800 people we think that would be a

good lookout South 7,000 attendant Depot

you know bigger than this room this

young so we don't know what God's saying

and all of that but they're praying

they're seeking the Lord again this is

not strategies and plans this is saying

or what are you doing yes what are you

up to and how can we join with you in

that now all of this is beyond our

planned budgets we're trying to keep the

work going here and praise God the

budget for this weekend's conference has

been met the budget for last night has

been met and some just very special

amazing gifts we try to keep the

registration fee as low as we possibly

can we scholarship I think three or four

hundred pastors wives to be able to come

this weekend and because that we wanted

to make that our gift to you our team is

always saying to me dancing you're

trying to put on a Cadillac conference

and charge what's the word 100 or a

Chevrolet prices so Vince the Chevrolet

so we do we try to keep the price low

but God has provided for these this to

be a break-even event we're really

thankful for that

but a and C have even always taught us

Kona saunas in Latin America we're still

partnering at Marten is it a little less

a little more than half a little more

about half of the budget they are

raising down there and it's growing

every year new partners and we're still

partnering with them to provide seed

funds to get that up and running the kid

ate that all conference it's gonna be a

challenge to break even on that but the

registration fee and the travel for

women from all over Latin America will

be difficult for them as some of you

understand that and so we're trying to

put seed funds into these places where

we sense God is at work so the offering

that we're about to take is going to be

used to expand the work of this message

in this ministry to countries like what

you're hearing here in Latin America you

just heard this and ways that we can

come alongside of them help with

producing resources help with some just

we're not there having to believe God to

raise up funding in their own parts of

the world but we want to help them and

you can help be a part of that

conference in Mexico what you've given

that offering in just a moment here so I

want to ask you if you take your

envelope out that was on your seat when

you came in this morning this is for

your convenience and giving it I'd like

to think that every one of us in this

room could do something in this offering

God has blessed us that's what the

Deuteronomy says every man shall give or

woman shall give as she is able

according to the blessing of the Lord so

how much is God blessed us this weekend

and how much is God blessed us with his

provision we may think we live tight and

many do most do in some ways but as God

blessed you with a little bit of extra

that you could give maybe God there's a

woman at a conference a couple years ago

who God had blessed her was an amazing

story about how God had met a need for

the week before but she wrote a check

for $10,000 and put it in the offering

now she forgot the check with her

husband so when she went home she knew

that he would be in favor but she knew

that she didn't do it without knowing

that but when she went home and told him

the next time she came to this

conference or husband said and when they

take an offering you might just want to

call me first but he's gonna say yes

so if God's putting something on your

heart that you say man I better check

with my husband about that first you do

that gift first to your local church but

then as God provides some of you could

give generously we can all give

generously and for you generous maybe

$8.00 for you generous maybe $800 or

$8,000 it's not the amount but it's the

heart and you will be a part of what God

is doing in spreading this message

around the world now remember 10% of

what comes in this offering is going to

go to help that cornerstone transition

home get up and running and I believe we

can do that here this weekend thank you

for having a heart for the women in

prison the women and who speak Farsi the

women in South Africa who have nothing

like this listen one of our concerns

here is last weekend there's a major

Christian woman to Bible teacher doing a

major conference not far from here next

weekend there - there's another one we

have so many choices but in a lot of

parts of these these parts of the world

they have no other choices no other way

to get sound biblical teaching for women

so thank you for having a part of that I

want to pray and then we're gonna take

the offering and then we're gonna have a

special time - well I'll tell you what's

next so let me pray Lord we want to give

you thanks we do give you thanks with

all our hearts for what you are doing I

never could have imagined never could

have envisioned what you would be doing

in this day and Lord eyes have not seen

ears have not heard we have no idea what

it is that you have planned for the days

ahead and wouldn't it be incredible to

see women taking the message of the

gospel and waving high the cross of

Christ throughout the world in place

we're believers are living in fear for

their lives but the gospel is strong

thank you for the people who are coming

to Jesus out of Muslim backgrounds and

Hindu backgrounds and atheist

backgrounds and Christian so-called

backgrounds but they didn't know Jesus

thank you for what you're doing and

drawing women to yourself and then how

you're using these women to be

messengers and and heralds and to share

the gospel with their husbands their

children their grandchildren their

communities lore it is such a privilege

for us to be a part of what you're doing

so as we give may we give generously may

we give with our hearts and may you take

this like loaves and fishes and bless

and multiply it for your glory and the

spread of the gospel throughout the

world I pray in Jesus name Amen
