John Daniel Redcliff, at the age of 37, has never been outside the Port Elizabeth area. At the age of 3 polio took a bit of his independence. Now he is a man living on his own and doing so much more for himself. He embrace life to the fullest!
Our path crossed last year and the locals of Jeffreys Bay know him as a joyfull man. When I ask him how he will reply when people ask him about Jesus, he says that He is the One who makes dreams come true!
Otto Xelo, lived in Cape Town for 10 years, but the hospital window did not allow him to enjoy much.
He had Polio since birth and returned to Port Elizabeth when he was old enough for operations. His father was a Priest who led them in Bible study around the kitchen table. He died of cancer and Otto still remembers himself staying at his bedside and praying. His dad's example still remains vivid.
After his mother's death in 1994 he moved to Jeffreys Bay. He met friends who stole his identity to claim his disability grant, but divine appointments saved his life.
He is know happily married with 3 sons.
There were hard times and it forced him to grow as a person. With a smile on his face he explains how all these things took a bite of his life and at the end of the day only One Thing remained which is God Himself.
