ANGOLA IN MY HEART: Ruth Hadley PB

Ruth Hadley went to Angola in 1982. When civil war broke out in 1984, she stayed, despite the advice of the Foreign Office. For 34 years she lived among the Chokwe people, sharing in their privations and the perils of conflict. This is a story of courage in the face of danger, compassion in the face of suffering and confidence in God.

When civil war broke out in 1984, she stayed, despite the advice of teh Foreign Office. For thirty-four years she lived among the Chokwe people, sharing in their privations and the perils of conflict- including disease and hunger, gun battles and landmines. Alongside facilitating in-depth Bible study, she organised and dispersed humanitarian and medical aid and, when the war finished, oversaw the building and equipping of four rural schools.

This is a story of courage in the face of danger, compassion in the face of suffering and confidence in God.

"An inspiring and moving account of a life poured out in service for Jesus Christ!
