Ruth

Ruth* works on an Indian Ocean Island, seeking to share the gospel with people who have never had it explained to them. Last month she gathered with other AIM workers to think about ministry to Muslims in Africa. The messages focused on Paul’s example in Acts, reminding them of the story we tell, and ensuring we’re not adding to it and putting more demands on people when they choose to believe. Ruth* came away with lots to think about and also a renewed love for Jesus who is the wonderful message, and a passion to share him with those who so desperately need to hear. One highlight was the prayer evening when some of the Africans attending the conference prayed so passionately and loudly for their continent that Ruth* had goosebumps. They were praying in their own languages, which gave a wonderful foretaste of people from many nations and tongues joining together in the New Creation. It was also such an encouragement being in a big crowd of people for fellowship, reconnecting with old friends, meeting new ones, and singing together.
