We’ve been longing to share the story of the amazing Rod and Ruthie Gilbert with you. From meeting whilst Rod was on the mission field, to starting their family in the thick of Gospel work in India, Rod and Ruthie have experienced ups, downs and seen God work in their lives countless times over! This is part one of a fantastic interview not to be missed. Part 2 will be coming soon!
