Publisher's Synopsis
Be inspired by this faithful woman who devoted her whole life to loving and serving God. Deepen your faith and find strength in prayer.
As Christians, we were taught to pray to God and seek a personal relationship with Him. You may still remember "The Lord's Prayer" or have said grace before meals, and you may continue to lift up a prayer in times of need.
Prayer is a powerful means of connection to God, but many of us fail to take advantage of it.
Others completely hear and understand God's call and feel compelled to respond to Him. These are the prayer warriors, Christians with a special bond to the Lord who pray not only for themselves or their loved ones, but for all of us.
Through these individuals, our prayers are heard.
Oma Jacobs Van Gelderen, known as simply "Oma" to those close to her and "Mother Van" to those who were in awe of her prayer ministry, was one of those prayer warriors.
Called to a life of prayer from a young age, Oma wholeheartedly gave her life in service to God. And her long life was filled with events that show just how much God loves us all. Every time she prayed for help, He did not abandon her. Every time she asked for intervention, He answered. Oma's life was a shining example of the miracles that are possible when you live a life of fervent prayer. Let her story move you to seek a deeper relationship with God and follow Oma's lead in living a life of prayer and service.
