in a short film about the inspiring story
of her deputy Naomi (find it at www.briccjos.com).
On Sunday afternoon Naomi died unexpectedly, leaving a huge hole in her
family and at the heart of BRICC. She first became involved in BRICC
as a student in the women's skills programme but was soon working
tirelessly and lovingly at Veronica's side having overcome her initial
wariness of the Muslim ladies and wanting to show to everyone that
Christians and Muslims in Jos can love each other. On the day she died
she was carrying supplies to the women's rooms ready for classes the
next day. The greatest testimony to her life and work was the sight of Christians and Muslims going together to her house after she'd died in order to pay their respects to her family. After the Jos Crisis Muslims left their houses and moved away from that area; it's the power of love that's bringing them back.
