Born into a Christian family in Zimbabwe, Ruth and family were strongly involved in their local church. Wanting to give Ruth a good education they migrated to Australia to a country town. It was exciting moving to Australia, the land of Skippy the kangaroo, but her spiritual beliefs and habits would be challenged. There were no youth in her new church and she desired friendship of other young people. Her spiritual habits were guided by her parent’s beliefs, they were not her own. Ruth is grateful that her parents explained from the Bible why they held the beliefs they did and encouraged her to follow God.
When Ruth moved out of home to attend university her wings were no longer clipped. What would she do? While attending a friend’s party she looked around and then left. This started her life in a different direction. She switched from secular university to Avondale College and later she attended an intense Bible course. That had a huge impact on her life. Now she says, it is my faith and no longer my parents’ faith, which is really amazing!
