MANGA FROM NIGERIA SHARE’S HIS STORY WITH BALLERS IN GOD!

On Tuesday 2 October 2012, Manga from northern Nigeria miraculously survived an attack by Boko Haram militants. In this powerful interview with John Bostock, professional footballer and founder of Ballers in God, he talks about football, how the events of that day more than 12 years ago unfolded, and the profound impact the miracle has had on his life.

We’ve been sharing Manga’s incredible story for the past few years, so it’s great that we can hear a bit more from Manga and how he’s determined to keep growing in his faith despite all he has been through.

Check out this incredible quote from Manga:

“Sometimes people encounter Jesus through teaching, church revivals or worship. But for me, it’s through hardship, trauma and pain, and the gift of life. I should’ve been dead. I’m healed totally. Many times, I’ve had the privilege of sharing this testimony to His glory.

“God’s Word encourages me so much to count it all joy, even when I face persecution. Even at the point when the knife was still on my neck, I should have felt the pain, but He took upon Himself the pain. Every day of my life I enjoy His grace, and when I wake up to see a new day, it’s a miracle for me.

“Every day I spend on earth I want to make God famous. I will not waste my time on regret, grief and anger, but on knowing God and fulfilling His works.”

Amazing. Enjoy the interview – it’s a long one, but really inspiring and powerful! And please pray for Manga using the points below.
