Have you ever felt like God wasn’t listening or didn’t care about how you felt?
In this episode, we look at Ruth’s early years as a tenderhearted creative growing up in China with missionary parents who both worked at a local hospital. Although Ruth struggled with schoolwork and homesickness, she was sent to boarding school at age fourteen to complete her high school education.
While there, she begged God and her family to bring her home, but neither responded in the way she had hoped. Crushed and heartbroken, Ruth suffered a crisis of faith. Listen to discover how Ruth’s older sister, Rosa, encouraged her and how that encouragement became a cornerstone of Ruth’s walk with the Lord.
