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.
