At 21, after being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and later suffering a career-ending rugby injury, Alwyn’s world began to unravel. Then, at 24, a devastating car accident left him paralysed from the chest down, and he woke up feeling as though his life had become a nightmare. In the years that followed, he battled deep depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts—but it was in this season of brokenness that God began to rebuild him.

In his darkest moments, Alwyn encountered the hope, presence, and power of Jesus in a life-transforming way. Choosing to surrender fully and rededicate his life to Christ, he discovered a strength far beyond his own and a purpose greater than anything he had imagined.

Today, Alwyn shares his testimony around the world as an author, speaker, and servant of the Lord. His life is a reminder that no situation is beyond God’s reach, no story too broken for His redemption, and that Jesus can turn even the deepest pain into a powerful testimony for His Kingdom.
