Mark van Rensburg is a self-made businessman with two companies, a commercial fishing boat and many medals and awards as a judo champion. His aggressive approach towards life, however, was fuelled by a deep anger towards God. A turning point came when he was tragically paralyzed from the neck down as the result of an auto accident. Doctors were surprised he survived at all and gave him less than 6 months to live. After 3 months with no progress, he gave up with no hope of recovery and preferred to end it all by committing suicide. He failed and couldnâÂÂt finish himself off. It seemed as if an unseen hand preserved him. This led to a dramatic life-changing encounter with God that restored hope and meaning to his life and provided a new beginning.
