When Robert died Aimee returned to America with her daughter Roberta to marry a Christian man named Herold Mcpherson.

When Aimee became very sick and lying on her deathbed the Lord asked to if she would now return to serve him and preach the gospel. She answered "yes" and never again question the works of the Lord. As her and her husband began preaching the gospel throughout the East Coast of America they held tent revivals.

Soon many people began gathering to hear Sister Aimee speak and the healing was felt throughout all that came. The number of people that gathered to listen to Sister Aimee soon became overwhelming and she would often rent auditoriums to speak to the people about the word of the Lord.
