Have you been influenced by Nancy Damas Walgamuth, the host of Revive Our Hearts?

If so, you've benefited from the prayers of her grandmother.

There's a sense in which I believe that I would not be here today if it were not for the power of a

praying grandmother. She actually was my great grandmother. My father is of

Greek background and his parents were Greek immigrants and he had a

grandmother that they called Yaya which is the word for grandmother. My dad and

his family and the cousins grew up in the same house and Yaya was part of that

household. Came over with my dad's parents. Though the home was not really a Christian home, Yaw was a woman who did know the Lord, and who

prayed earnestly for the salvation and the spiritual life of her children and grandchildren

and perhaps her great-grandchildren, of which I am one.

My dad's cousin, Ted De Moss, whom you may have heard of was a great man of God

and a real leader in ministries is now with the Lord. I remember

hearing him tell the story of how when he was a little boy he shared a

bedroom with Yaya and he told about how sometimes at night he would go to bed and

Yaya would be on her knees praying for the family. She never learned English.

She prayed in her mother tongue which was Turkish.

And then he told how he would sometimes wake in the morning and find that she was still

up praying for her family, for children, the grandchildren, and the impact that that

made on his life as a little boy.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy De Mas Walgamuth, author of

choosing gratitude. For June 30th, 2023, I'm Danagresh.

This week, Nancy's in a series called Leaving a Godly Legacy. It's based on Somme 127.
