017: Jehovah Has Healed – With Carine and Victor Njoh (Pt. 1)

Living African

Jehovah Has Healed is a book that was born out of a mother's journey through loss, faith, and the Supernatural. Like every newly married couple, Carine and Victor Njoh dreamed of a happily ever after life, but God had other plans. In Carine’s words – “It looked like I'd never see the dawn of the day. I asked many questions, but the answers didn't seem forthcoming.”

In the book, Carine walks us through her experiences, but in this episode, we go deeper into how Victor was also impacted by the multiple loss and how God revived their faith and healed their hurt.

I hope the conversation inspires you as it did me. This is such an important topic in our community, as it could lift up the spirit of someone going through something similar. It is therefore my greatest hope that the conversation doesn’t end here, and we can keep it going within our circles. Thank you for listening.

Quotes

“I found a hobby that I enjoyed so much, gardening. And I tell people all the time that If you are going through stuff and you need something to help you out, put your hand in the dirt. Put a seed in the ground and nurture that seed to grow, it will do an amazing thing to your psyche.” – Victor Njoh, on how he coped

“Our community needs to do better to be sensitive. Be sensitive to people going through issues – people finding it difficult to give birth or have kids with special needs. Remember that you don’t have to say everything that comes into your mind, especially when the person is around.” – Carine Njoh

“I know what I went through and I know without God, I couldn’t have survived. I believe that He was my strength when I was weak and he encouraged me when I lost all hope.” – Carine Njoh
