Nigeria (International Christian Concern) — Years after she lived through unspeakable violence, Ruth’s smile emerges free from trauma. Five years ago, “Baby Ruth” became a living symbol of hope amid Nigeria’s long, bloody war against its Christian population. Today, her story of survival, faith, and the resilient love of family is inspiring other Nigerian Christians who’ve lived through barbaric attacks. Ruth was born in 2021, the same year her home village, Maiyanga, Northwest of Jos, Plateau state, came under fire by heavily armed Islamic Fulani militants.
