In the heart of this tranquil village, amidst the embrace of nature’s beauty, lives a man whose journey has been one of unwavering faith and remarkable transformation. Mr. John Atsu Nyakpedo is a 32 year old man whose life has been marked by adversity. A crippling ailment changed the course of his life, confining him to a wheelchair. Yet, within this small village, an incredible story of hope and spiritual awakening unfolds.

Despite John’s physical limitations, he owns a big farm, he carves wooden handles for hoes and he is also a fisherman. Since infancy, John’s spirit has remained unbroken, and this has became a source of inspiration for everyone around him.

A few year back, Theovision International came to start a Bible Listening Group in this village, and in no time, John became a very active member. “I did not know that Idol worship was a sin until the audio Bible came to my community. I heard in the book of Ephesians that we must be kind to one another and forgive each other, so that God will also forgive us through Christ Jesus. I thank Theovision for bringing God’s Word in the Ewe language. I have learnt from the book of John that we should confess our sins, and He is faithful to forgive us. Because of this, I have changed my ways.” John testifies. Embracing this newfound faith, Johns perspective on life has shifted. He no longer sees his disability as a burden, but rather a testament to the strength that lay within him.

Then came the day that marked a profound chapter in John’s journey—the day of his baptism. With the support of his Bible listening group, John made his way to riverside.

The water symbolized more than just a cleansing—it represented John’s spiritual renewal, a symbolic declaration of his commitment to Christ.

From this moment forward, John’s life became a living testimony to the transformative power of faith and the strength of the human spirit.

Today, John continues to inspire us all. His journey from adversity to acceptance, from isolation to belonging, serves as a reminder that even in the face of challenges, the light of faith can guide us toward a life of meaning and fulfilment.
