Posted at 10:26h, 27 FebruaryI was brought up in the UBC Mission, and I came across Rev Ruth Benner when she was serving as Missionary in Mattru Jong in Sierra Leone. By then I was attending the Centennial Secondary School in the junior classes. She supported our family greatly by helping one of the family members to go through school. Her effort was and still highly appreciated and will never be forgotten. Over and above that, she was one of those people who sacrificed so much to let the Light of God shine in the darkness in Africa, The fruits of their labour in the Lord still remains and continue to testify and bear witness that indeed Rev. Benner and others spent a very meaningful life on planet earth and obeyed the Great Commission to reach out to the lost souls. May her soul rest in perfect peace.
