Donna and John A. Vant were concerned that their son wasn't displaying a strong work ethic.

So Donna found scriptures about diligence and prayed them for her son.

After he graduated from law school, she realized God had developed in him that heart for diligence.

God did it. It was hitting my face before God and calling out to him and lifting him up before the Lord.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamud, co-author of Seeking Him for October 19, 2018.

I'm so glad to have Donna A. Bant back with us in the studio today,

and if you didn't get to hear our conversation yesterday,

you can go back to

revive our hearts.com. You can get the transcript. You can listen to the audio of that conversation.

And Donna, thank you for joining us this week on Revive Our Hearts. Thank you so much, Nancy.

Donna is a fairly new friend. She and her husband, John, are serving on the leadership team at

Life Action Ministries, which is the parent ministry of Revive Our Hearts. And they have a passionate heart for Christ, for the world. In fact, not too long ago, you all were in the Middle East. You've done this a number of times working with Christian workers there, Christian leaders. Just give us a little glimpse.

I know it's a little off topic of this conversation, but of what you've experienced as you've met

with some of those believers in some of these difficult countries.

Oh, Nancy, I don't know if I can do it adequate justice to explain to your listeners

the women that I met in the Middle East on this

past trip. There was a group that we met with. There were 28 women that we met with. Several of them

had lost their husbands to ISIS. And they would share openly about their struggles,

but they were so confident in who their God was,

and him being Jesus.

They were so confident in their faith,

in the midst of such deep suffering and pain.
