Upon my return from a short four days holiday on the other side of Tokyo I immediately learned of the passing of Ruth Ayling in the UK. It was her illness that precipitated my resuming full time care of the OMF Headquarters Ichikawa Guest Home. She and her husband, Gareth were in charge from autumn 2002 till spring this year and in that span of time they broadened and deepened their network of friends and proteges. I was fortunate to have contact with them and to give them a day off every week and to meet with Ruth for a weekly time of sorting myself out and prayer together.
She is greatly missed by her husband, Gareth and her children and grandchildren, and also by many many more to whom she showed kindness, consideration, generosity, interest. With whom she shared many meals, letters, calls, visits and prayers. She is an excellent example of a Godly woman. We could all learn something from her life.
Till we meet again in Glory.
