Welcome to The Bridge, the weekly podcast from Bridge Chapel in Liverpool. This week, we're delighted to welcome to the show Henrietta Collier
The is week, Henrietta shares her remarkable story and how she, in spite of lots of difficulties and heartache, clearly testifies and rejoices in God's care for her and her children. From her poor but happy childhood in Sierra Leone, to training to be a nurse the UK. In a class of 86 students, she was the only person of colour. She describes the rascism and prejudice she suffered during that time and how she determined to not let it affect her.
The next few years were spent in between Sierra Leone and times of training in the UK before she finally settling here after a PhD.
She talks about the challenges of bringing up her own 2 children along with her sisters son and 2 other children she adopted, loved and cared for!
Henrietta's inner joy, her resilience and her love for her Saviour are a joy to hear and experience.
