D.FINED Engagement BookCast with Paul Higdon, Author of Hope and a Future: Life, Survival, and Renewal on the Streets of an African Slum
Sunday, 13 June, 2021
Paul met a teenage boy of 17 at an orphanage in Niurobe, Kenya. As he was leaving John Maina said, "Never forget me." Paul Higdon never did forget and went back to the slum where he had met John. John was found in short order and their reunion was the beginning of a new and true family relationship for John and Paul. Paul is now John's father, his wife Linda is now John's mother. Paul's book is dedicated to telling John's life story from being orphaned at the age of 5 and living his life on the streets of Africa's fifth largest slum, until today. In this BookCast Paul Higdon and Doug Fine talk about the book and just after that they have a conversation with John Maina all the way from Africa. There are points of inspiration, points of HOPE, points of RENEWAL. Join them in learning about John's life journey and how he is doing today! We also have the privilege of speaking to a friend of Paul's, Tom Gikunda. Tom tells his amazing story about how he began saving street boys from the slums and giving them everything they need for a successful life.
