Ruth Elton, daughter of renowned missionary Pa Elton, has died at the age of 91.

She was the only daughter of legendary missionary, Pa Elton, who was a British missionary who arrived in Nigeria in 1937.

Ruth, born September 7, 1933, was a British-born Nigerian missionary whose lifelong dedication to faith, healing, and revival left an indelible mark on communities across western and central Nigeria.

At some point in her early years, Ruth trained in sewing, handiwork, and arts at a technical college in the United Kingdom.

Ruth, who remained celibate and unmarried her whole life, was a polyglot, as she spoke English, Yoruba, and Ebira languages fluently.

In 1975, she had to renounce her British citizenship to naturalize as a Nigerian, as it was impossible then to hold dual citizenship.

Together with her missionary work, she contributed to taming infant mortality owing to poor childcare and hygiene and the practice of force-feeding, particularly in Okene, Kogi State, during the late colonial and early post-colonial years.

She authored three books: “The Kingdom has come,” “The Gospel of the Kingdom,” and “Your Citizenship: Hell or the Kingdom”.

Her late father was based in Ilesa, Osun State, and had a significant ministry impacting students at the University of Ife, discipling many who went on to lead Pentecostal movements in Nigeria.

After 50 years of ministry, he left a legacy of spiritual revival and missionary work in Nigeria. He is tagged as the father of the Pentecostal movement in Nigeria.
