My sincere condolences to Sam, Favour and Furaha and to Chrisco New life, and body of Christ at large. Mum mentored us. Passionate about the young people and she touched our lifes with her unfailing love. May God’s comfort, peace and strength be with you during this grieving moment. Mum, are dearly missed.
My deepest condolences to Dad Sam, Bro Favor, Furaha and Silvester. May the Lord minister to you in a special way.
I will always remember and thank God for mum. Mum invited me to my first mission with Chrisco New Life which in 2017 which was at Samburu-Tuum, she also introduced me to the youth fellowship and together we went for a camp in Uganda for the first time. When I joined campus in 2017, mum invited me to a morning glory fellowship at Angro house which was very powerful. She would always encourage and pray for me whenever we met. I’ll miss her so much. May you rest well mum…
Always caring, and loving, welcomed ALL (me) into her home countless times, scrumptious meals were always served, and as a single man then, mum always made sure even when you are leaving you had to carry something on your way out. Her encouragement and plea as a young person to serve God wholeheartedly saw us go on missions to schools, prisons, and some hospitals because of her passion for the souls of the young people. Today I love God dearly because of her labor. Util we meet again when the sons of God are revealed. I will personally miss her, May God comfort Elder Sam, Favour & Furaha.
As I tender my condolences, my prayer is that Elder Sam, Favor and Furaha will receive solace and strength from the comforting arms of Yeshua.
Sis Anne Ruhiu was very friendly and sought to know my wellbeing as well as that of my family; extending her motherly love to my children as if they were her own. Almost every conversation culminated to a time of prayer, in-person or on the phone.
She indeed was a gallant soldier of the Lord Sabaoth, risking her very life in the mission field.
I’m certain we all knew her extreme passion for the nation of Israel where she even endeavoured to mobilize many to endear God’s first born, in prayer as well as in kind.
Anne was truly a ‘Barnabas’ to me and countless others, offering counseling services without charging a dime because of her sincere love and desire to see many loosed from the shackles of the enemy.
What a time ? But I thank God for my dear sister Anne ruhiu . We went with her on my first mission to mararal . And had the privilege of being her room mate .
Mama was a pleasant mama . Yes a prayer warrior and indeed she was very motherly.
I bless the Lord for her kindness .
Elder Sam and children, may you find solace and favour in God. This will not be easy but God on your side you will be embraced and kept in the faith .
Till we meet again .
I am meditating and trying to put together the things I learned from Ann
She taught me to
Love people
Intercession
Pray for Israel
To be consistent
Sacrifice
Forgiveness
Contentment
Love
What a mentor
Deepest condolences to the Ruhiu family. As a young girl growing up in CHRISCO (Ksm & Msa) I greatly admired and looked up to sister Ann as the national youth leader. She was a great inspiration. May the Lord deeply comfort the entire family and may He bear you up in His arms and wipe your tears away.
My deepest condolences to the Elder Sam and sons.May the Lord strengthen your heart at this difficult time and may mum Ann rest in peace.We thank God for the her life and ministry in the church and entire body of Christ.
My deepest condolences to Dr. Ruhiu and the family. The Lord comfort you always
MAMA Ann was more than a mentor to me. She was my counselor, Preacher, Intercessor, Spiritual Mum and above all, my third Guardian. Words can’t express how much she played a crucial role in my Life. Especially in my private Life and a pivotal role in my Wedding. I surely miss her
MAMA Ann was so much more than a mentor to me. She was my counselor, Preacher, Spiritual Mum and third Guardian. Words can’t express how much of a crucial role she played in my life especially my private Life and the pivotal role she played during my wedding and subsequent marriage. I sorely miss her.
