Diana WinklerMY PODCAST, Physical Violence, suicide Leave a Comment

What is it like moving to a new country, experiencing culture shock, starting a new life? Only to then be violated by trusted family friends? Our guest is Hope Makena from beautiful Nairobi Kenya, residing in Ontario, Canada. She tells us about what life was like in Kenya and wanting to be a doctor when she grows up. We also talk about her years in college and quitting medical school. She candidly shares how she suffered abuse at the hands of a friend one summer, and the aftermath. Hear how God showed up miraculously at a train station in her darkest days. She became a missionary with a Toronto Christian organization, and then met her husband. Her first son was born and she experienced first hand the realities of post partum depression. She offers hope and tools for those suffering from many of these traumas she has experienced and says “You are not alone!” Join us for the journey with a lovely lady who fell in love with Jesus all over again.
