Ruby was extremely poor. She often could barely afford the tt$2.50 (45p) fare to Church in Port of Spain on a Sunday.

It has been very heartening to me to hear that so many people are encouraged by the daily devotionals and that they have become an integral part of your daily routine. It is sometimes difficult to establish a time for reading meditation and prayer, especially when our lives are busy. We have been afforded this […]
