“Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God” (Psalm 146:5 NKJV). Nancy recently shared this verse online as an overflow of her preparation to teach the Psalms. Earlier this month, she recorded seven programs (in one day!) for the Wonder of the Word initiative. We praise God for continuing to sustain her in the midst of this full and demanding schedule. And we’re thankful to you, ministry friend, for faithfully lifting her up and asking the Lord for grace and endurance as she studies this summer and pours out what He’s placed on her heart.

CSB Bible Project Update January 2025
Happy New Year! One year ago, Nancy opened her Bible to Genesis and began recording the first Wonder of the Word program. Throughout 2024, she recorded seventy-three episodes, with plans to air the full series (260 programs) in multiple languages in 2027. Praise God! Nancy, Robert, and members of the ROH team celebrated the one-year recording anniversary with cupcakes moments after she completed her first recording session of 2025. This is both the most rewarding and the most rigorous assignment Nancy has undertaken. Would you ask God to give her daily grace and joy in this journey? Here are some additional ways to pray for Nancy: Pray for Nancy and Robert’s marriage. This work is a great privilege, but it is also demanding, and Nancy desires to love and bless Robert in this season and beyond. Pray for wisdom as the ministry continues to grow. The hunger for God’s Word and biblical resources is greater than ever. Wisdom is needed to discern how to steward the opportunities well. Pray that Nancy keeps her eyes fixed on Jesus and that He’ll help her to press on, faithfully persevering in the service of our King and sustained by His grace. If Nancy were writing this update, she would want you to know how dearly loved and appreciated you are. May you drink from the fresh springs of God’s goodness and grace throughout the year ahead.

This is the first book Nancy ever wrote, and a 25th anniversary edition is scheduled to be released in time for True Woman ’25.
