Kones said in the two decades, he has learnt a lot, and God has changed his story.

He shared that he is now celebrating his 47th birthday abroad again and with his beloved wife.

“20 years ago, I turned 27 at a time when I had been deported from the US, was suffering severe self-loathing and disappointment and was “trending” in my village for all the wrong reasons,”

“20 years later I am abroad again. This time turning 47. Because God can change someone’s story in this very one lifetime and make you realize He doesn’t judge you by yesterday’s lenses. 47 and on it is.” Kones said.

Recently, Levi Kones could not hide his joy after reuniting with his wife, Wangeci, in Australia.

The author travelled to Sydney, Australia, to spend time with his wife, and the reunion became emotional for both of them.

Levi’s wife had moved to the country to study and left him to take care of the children back in Kenya.

According to Levi, his wife had always dreamed of furthering her education and Australia looked appealing.

On landing in Australia, Wangeci hugged her husband and went on her knees to welcome him.

The author was given flowers and a giant welcoming card by his wife on arrival.
