- A mother will do everything for her child and that's exactly what Leah did for her son to get an education after losing hope.
She was going to earn a cool 500K by taking drugs from Kenya to Seychelles but the moment she landed, the arrest came.
The result, was 12 years in prison in Seychelles, regrets, shame, and finally, a great connection with God.
On this episode of LNS, she walks Lynn through her mistakes, lessons, denial, and self-acceptance and wants her story to serve as a lesson to those making shortcuts in life
On this 7 episode series dubbed Pain to Power, we will feature stories of women from prison both locally and internationally and lay focus on one organization by the name Clean Start and how they are helping reintegrate these women back

I've learned a lot today
It scares me when somebody starts to realize the consequences of their actions after they are caught. I wish this happens before one gets into trouble. But then who's satan; Always at work. God help us.
I was searching for an inspiring educational video, and then I came across this piece. The story of Leah is so powerful and inspiring. During her talk, I came away with so many ways that would be done to start projects that help former prison inmates to restart their life. These citizens deserve love and understanding. They do not need to be judged because we are all not far away from being homeless, needy, or a prisoner in some circumstances. I would love to learn more about Restorative Justice in Seychelles and Clean Start in Nairobi, Kenya. I am personally inspired beyond bounds!
Safe an interview for me 2024 sweetheart
.
She's teaching us about the consequences of SHORT CUTS in life , kindly let's learn something from her story .
Lynn to clarify as Catholics we do not worship Mary or the saints, but ask them to pray to God on their behalf. This is known as intercession. Statues are to help you to focus a person's mind on an aspect of prayer or worship. For example, a statue of Jesus on the cross can help us remember the sacrifice of Jesus
I also felt that she did not appreciate what these good Catholics did to make her prison stay and release smooth
Do not make yourselves any graven image,,, statues are a idols.... JESUS is the only way to heaven..Mary can't save you
Imagine you do not need any saints or mary or statues to access God. The only mediator we have been given that can link humans and God is Jesus Christ. 1st Timothy 2:5-6.
I don't think it matters who people reach God through...we all have fallen short of His Glory. Praying thorough Mary, or Jesus hasn't made any of us holy. Matters of religion we should respect each person's. Everyone translates the bible differently
@Regina Njogu why argue with God's word, asking Mary to pray for you is unbiblical, mary died and got buried. Asking me to pray for you is because am alive and I am a Christian but when am dead, you can't ask me to pray for you. Mary cannot intercede for you, she is not a mediator, Jesus Christ is our only mediator. The bible says Jesus sits at the right hand of God interceding for us. Bible doesn't say Mary is interceding. Bible also say don't make any image and bow to it. Protestants make cross but they don't bow to it. Catholics make statue of Mary and bow to it, exactly opposite of God's word n my question is, why argue with God.? Why not just obey when he says don't make statues n bow to them?
Never judge. My own biological mum was arrested for planning my dads murder because of the violence she had endured all her marriage. She was convicted for 8 years and unfortunately she died in Lang'ta women's prison. It was a very traumatising period for me as a firstborn and also my siblings. I am glad to say Jesus took away my pain. This life will humble you in one way or another. NEVER JUDGE. As much as the people convicted feel the pain, the children or loved ones bear the most. The shame, disgrace, reproach is on another level. It needs God to overcome. It took me over 30 years to feel like a normal human being. It doesn't hurt me anymore. Mama you are strong
Hugs dearie
More hugs.
Sorry 😔
Hugs ❤️
Lynn....this story is not about drugs or trafficking...it's about Yahweh's mercy and grace and love for all of us sinners.... 🙏🏽
🙄🙄
Indeed. Glory be to our merciful God. We are prisoners of sin. Until we accept our sins, God mercy is sufficient🙌
The faith that this lady has is at another level...this depicts God's mercy and grace despite our sinfulness.
There is power in the name of Jesus Thanks Leah for sharing your story
Cant wait for the 7 episodes..am happy you are tackling stories like these that are followed by stigma and shame that people fear to talk about..Ready with my pen and book to learn!
Am also in prison in Indonesia n this lady have encouraged me so much God bless you Lynn for bringing her in ur show
May God see you out in the name of God
May God see you through
@Mayang Mayang,put your trust in The Lord he is omnipresent. He will do you good, you will also be an encouragement to others. Shalom
May God see you through.
May God see you through.
Keep being strong you will overcome 💪
Her going to jail saved so many souls from drug addiction… Glory to God, He saved her in jail. She was not meant for destruction but tamaa O God tusaidie! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Am glad that you are brave enough to own the mistake. The devastation goes beyond the jail time . My mum is kikuyu and my dad is from Seychelles . I visit my family there every time l come to Kenya. There's great harm and lives ruined from drugs especially the young adult males in this small country . Your intent was save your son and someone's else son's life was going to be ruined. God is an amazing God. Your son still made it without the drugs money. You made a positive impact in Seychelles and now in kenya. God had your back even then.
Crime doesn't pay and choices have consequences . Lessons learnt
You are not a criminal and even then you were not. Most people are in prison not that they criminals,but sometimes what life offers us is different from what we would want.i call you a strong woman Leah💪💪
Wow, a mother will do anything for her child/children! A beautiful story indeed, talk of God's favor!
Never judge anyone ,,,, she is my neighbor ,,,,, I admire her courage we women go to the extremes for our kids big up mama we love you
Thank you Lynn for having mama Leah such a bold and great woman of God. She went to prison to know God and He forgave you the minute you allowed Him into your life ❤️❤️❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
We should be aware that toxic friends do exit, A BIG LESSON.
These women are beautiful, awesome, amazing, strong and very encouraging... May God bless them and build their lives afresh...
This is the most beautiful story I have watched,God can take you places to know " I am whom I'm"
May God continue blessing you Lynn for these educative episodes 🙏
Am learning everyday..
This woman is very beautiful. May God grant her healing. She still sounds traumatized.
I love love love her🥰, her son is lucky to have such a mother. She is sincere, bright and can make you laugh at the same time. She can be a good motivational speaker as she wishes😘
I know this lady for over 30years...she deserves every moment
I wish all prisons in Kenya will be getting this episodes at their TVs.
Yes!!
You can listen to this lady over and over again. She is so sweet❤❤
Hawayuni wapenzi wa LNN.
Thanks Lynn for the episode. Here to learn as usual ❤️
Thank you so much Leah for coming out to share your story
Much respect Leah for coming out share your story with us.Prison is more less death. Thank God you are out.
Hello Lynn,am here as usual,the things women will do for their kids,
There’s a God in heaven looking and listening to our cries and pleas 🙏
Stigma is a big problem in us humans, Leah thank u for sharing notes taken , poverty leads us into taking risk , God help us to be patient in life, easy money is not good .
Sometimes we fail in life for God to use us as a vessel to elevate others!
When Joseph was put in Jail his ministry was born😍❤️so is Leah😊not all prisons are a punishment.
DO NOT DO CRIME😉
@WanjiruMuya karibu ujachelewa bado😂
Hii shiru.happy to see you
What I have picked is that it's important to visit prisoners and uplift them with hope, company, small gifts etc.
We do not worship Mother Mary,we pray through her. She cleaned the place(Groto) everyday and Mother Mary listened to her inner prayers and to Jesus Christ her freedom was granted 🙏.
I know,non Catholics should get it.
I was looking for this comment. Beautiful inspiring story but that part rubbed me the wrong way.
Correct. Mother Mary interceded for her
Mary Mother intercedes for us to His son.
No dear , Mary just like any other departed souls cannot intercede for you. Jesus is the only way , the truth and life. Just spare some time and ask the Holy spirit to reveal to you the truth- No need to defend Mary , Religion or how we worship.
Good job our girl keep up I missed you.fikeni kwangu kindly...
God used this path of prison for his purpose.. this wilderness made you to become a Servant of God.. annoiting is expensive
Wanjiru are fighters just like my Mum Wanjiru you are blessed of the blessed 🙏🙏🙌🙌
A mother can do anything for her kids bt all the choices we make have consiquences bt I thank God for her coz she accepted her mistake and reformed pray for success in her life
She should open a tiktok, youtube and instagram account I assure you the young people will love her
Wonderful story. Write books and teach about restorative justice.
Keep telling your story. You will bring healing to many.
NB:As catholics we don't worship Mary mother of Jesus Christ, we just honor her , just like the way other hang pictures of honorables n pastors on walls, the Rosary is the same y ou wear chains of celebrities n others,the only difference is we pray using that rosary in honor of virgin Mary mother of Jesus Christ.
Winnie I'm so glad that you explained this because I'm not catholic and always had a misconception about that.
@@jessieschatz9611 thank you for understanding now🙏💯✌️
Well put...and all the prayers are constructed using scriptures from the bible like 'Hail Mary full of grace'..these are words of Angel Gabriel in Lk 1:26,and the second part 'Holy Mary mother of God' are Elizabeth's acknowledgment during Mary's visitation in Lk 1 :43...
@@leonidaondari8669 good at least you quoted the Bible verses 🙏💯
Our undoer of knots.Our mother.
Wow, encouraging testimony. When we acknowledge our mistakes and want to reform, we give others the chance to be better people in society.
Victory through prayers✌️ Beautiful testimony ❤️
Point of correction
Catholics Don't worship Mary, we venerate her as the Mother of God.
Otherwise inspiring story
It might just be her English but she doesn't mean that they worship Mary .... Because it is true when we plug on "Jesus" photos - Robert Powell, he is just a simple guy in England and a normal actor, but people especially the Catholic have brainwashed Africans believing that this guy is Jesus and yet he was just trying to earn a living by acting .... The portate photos of all the history in the Bible was just an assumptions ... If you go to Egypt Old Cairo when Mary was founding a rescue place to hide when Herod wanted to kill Jesus.... This place or church shows nothing that was related to the photography of Mary and this kinder of place where you could find the remain of such people.... Some people understand better when practice things using an image that might be the reason why catholic regime uses this kind of images...
They was nothing like a photograph during the time of Jesus.... My fellow Africans we need to go back to history to understand Africa better.... Our continent might have been the origin of everything .... Starting from school, medicine etc....
A very good detailed teachings on crime. God bless you Leah
Leah story was a test so she can testify God is so good
Amazing... The society needs more of such bold conversations.❤️
Things that mother's go through for their children, thanks for sharing. We are learning our lessons .
You have a good testimony but let me correct you we Catholics don't worship Mary like our God stop confusing people . There is God , Holy spirit and Jesus .
Mary is the mother of Jesus and we ask her to intervene for us through her son .
the Bible says we can only reach God through his Son Jesus Christ not mother mary.
Weee prison zingine ni poa ata food ni poa but the bottom line ni a prison is a prison thanks God Leah you are alive your kid and family are happy to see you 🙏
Always time well spent listening to LNN SHOW and her guests...Lynn and team 💐💐💐
Wooow, this is such a big move from her! Lynn💝 your job is a calling and indeed it has zero boundaries, i love it💓
Big lesson learned!!! I wish her success in her life 🙏🏽
Beautiful Story. Keep uplifting others in the society. All the best Leah.
I was in immigration cell in Thailand after being human trafficked to the country, it's not an actual prison cell but it's a place that you wouldn't wish even your worst enemy to be in... I don't want to imagine the prison in a foreign land....such a strong woman, you are a heroine for coming out and remaining 💪 strong.
How were u human trafficked @lyn ngungi tuletee hii story
Pole sana. What happened?
@marvaleen please come tell us this story
God is faithful his grace is enough❤
@Marvalaeen Gitau come and share your story to help the world, so that we can learn.
Big shout out to the Clean Start organization ✌️👏💯
Kasweetie nimekuona karibu sana
@@irenemutie36 wapi my dear
@@irenemutie36 oooh ndo naelewa your reply ,Asante ✌️💯
The organisation is doing a commendable job,integrating ex prisoners back to the community and also helping the prisoners. May The Lord enlarge them in every good way.
Leah's story is so touching. I love the confidence in her
Very sad story but a very good ending too. Lady, you were NOT in prison. God intended to deploy you there so that you do what you did - glorify Him. Thanks, Lynn, for the real life stories you stream for us. Long live LN Show.
Very nice story and I learned a lot hapa my Allah bless both of you big love
Wonderful testimony...painful and incisive about restorative justice..and beautiful healing journey..May God complete what he started in your life...
Short cuts nowadays is a theme, young individuals wants to Omoka bila jasho 🙄🙄, let's listen to this once again 🥲
This‘ why i envy NOBODY‘s life especially on social media streets. Just that she got caught, had she been successful angetesa kutesa. There are many more out there quoting motivational quotes & thanking god for his goodness but they know how they have acquired their wealth 😁😁😁
Especially to this young generation: live an honest life, save yourself and your people stress.
As for the lady, thank you for being courageous enough to tell your story.
True
I love this woman,she's so lovely,real,overcomer.
We make mistakes evryday but our merciful God always forgives us. So standing up n starting the right way is the way to God, thanks mama for coming out to share such a touching story. Lynn thankyou for giving us such platforms🙏🥰
Mimi nime kwama apa she looks young and beautiful na kijana ako kitu 30yrs tupe siri mama ....to my gal Lynn ni Dec anakam na mtu shags ama ...nawapenda bure 🫂
I thought the same our Oprah Winfrey amepata MTU na Christmas aki .. mapema ndio best na Lynn utukumbuke Kwa maombi pia we need people too love you gal ❤️❤️
Hello dear lynn, listening to this conversation, God bless your work, iam changed alot thr your shows, ihave never missed listening to stories in your shows❤️❤️❤️
I can listen to her again, and again and again. She is a good lady, God bless
Congratulations Leah for such a big move , it's not easy owning your story and letting others learn from your own personal life experiences 💯. Big up
Exactly!
Such a good story teller and good motivater 🥰🥰🥰
Leah tells a story about coming from a comfortable place to facing the world and meeting the challenges of life.
Much love ❤ to mama Leah. We go through many difficult times as African women. That is why we must take care ov other African women. Great show LNN team❤.
Number 11💃💃💃💃here we are Lynn our Love 🥰🥰
YOUR luck sisi .that it was not China ..you would'nt be here to say this story .Happy for you dear..You were trying life for your son.
Freedom is expensive
Groly back to almighty God lots of love from UGANDA 🇧🇪
What a story.. I WANT MY JESUS BACK TODAY
It takes an experience to impact a generation
...it's called being a drug mule. You can be used knowingly or not knowingly. That's why at international airports you are warned against 'helping people carry their luggage or baby'. At it's a whole cartel that involves many ppl including airport staff, popo etc
Okay, thanks. How is it by carrying their baby?
I was in police cells for 2 days in South Sudan after fighting with a friend in my room.weeh been a foreigner they couldn't not allow me out to susu .imagine I was given a water bottle nikojolee as if Niko na pipe 🤣.Mimi nami ni yule msee nililenga ndipo.was rescued by UN police and since there were no charges I was released.
I will never fell sorry for a somebody who traffic drugs knowingly because of her kids, what about the parents who their children are addicts.then come and say God.if the deal didn't backfire would u be telling your story.wish I was a judge could put such people in jail forever.
harshness doesn't help u always
Nobody needs your sympathy.
Touching story.
We hv been treated so badly at Seychelles airport. I now understand.
They thoroughly checked us .We just cd not understand why treat us so.
Anyway, Seychelles airport staff owe an explanation and apology when people are very innocent .
I hv been having questions about how I hv been treated at Seychelles but you hv enlightened me abit
Leah, thanks for sharing your experience with a lot of food for thought. I pray you find a good job.
Enjoy your grandchildren.
Lynn, I will not cease thanking you each time for your episodes.
Inspiring but there’s one part that is missing. She sees herself as the victim and that is why she wanted to traffic drugs. But the real victims were drug addicts. Also there are a lot of lessons, God favoured her and saved her life. In other countries drug trafficking carries a death sentence. I know life gets hard and it can push you to do some things you would never think of, but we must always remember the true victims of our actions. I am glad God saved her life, I am glad because they caught her, maybe someone’s child attending a party was not introduced to drugs.
She has owned up to her mistakes. She said she's not in denial anymore. She just stated why she trafficked drugs
@@kabeehodebrah5015 she partly did, but she showed no remorse. She said she did it for her us, showing herself as the victim. I am sure she was. But true remorse means realising your actions could have destroyed other peoples sons too!!!
Very true. Whenever I see an addict my heart aches
My dad has been in remand for one and a half years and he is in his 60s. We are having a fund drive to get him out and now come to think of it, he has been hesitant in the desire to get his freedom and I and my sister did not understand WHY he isn't interested in leaving the prison. Now i get it !!! It's because he doesn't know where to fall back to😔😔!!! Someone with a plug for men who have been in prison?
to be honest drugs destroy peoples lives..in some countries if you are caught you get excecuted ..there is a story of a botswana woman who was executed in Afghanistan ..before you agree to do anything for your children please be mindful of those whom you are going to destroy with the drugs you are trafficking ...this was a hardlearnt lesson .it is good she came to tell her story
Heli wewe ulifungwa my neighbor was arrested in airport and those drugs made her die because she over stayed with them in her body which brought shame to the family coz they hard the news from you media while her names her being read until today i know those kids still morn there Mum 😢😥
Waaa
Ule wa cologne?
@@marynjokimirie4753 No Nilimjua na watoto wake her real name can't recall she was so smart one couldn't think of her
When traveling don’t even let anyone tell to hold their bag. DO NOT! You’ll suffer the consequences of someone else in a foreign country.
My Mom never always forget to remind me this 😂,It’s a very big lesson
@@Missieartitudetv Yup never ever do this. You’ll be thrown in jail without explanation.
Leah am a Catholic and it thro Mother of God we reach his son who died of our sins the one who came for you in prison. This is not a great deal. For my work to be easier with your son circumstances will force me to come thro you so that I can reach your son. We don't pray status.
She did good to clean the grotto imagine hiyo mathabao ndio ilimtetea through keeping his mum place clean ..trust me , it's only that she didn't know how to recite mother Mary prayer but through mentioning her son's name while washing that place ..Jesus answered it still through his mother 🙏🙏
@@shikuliz4134 yes she should grasp that it thro Mary mother of God intercession that God set her free. Just becox of little thing she did; just washing. You may not be able to do great things but do little with a lot of love.
For correction we don't worship virtues
Proverbs 20:30, sometimes it takes a painfull experience to make us change our ways.
God 🙏 is close to the broken hearted
Young girls and women who wants free things please listen to this
I concur with u 100%
Gosh powerful a lot learnt all the best Leah our God has better plans for you
God bless you Leah. Thank you for speaking up and I hope you will reach many more women and men faced with similar situations. God bless you Beatrice. Always, thank you Lynn.
I so understand you. I pray for single mothers that God will provide for them and their kids so as not to get into illegal businesses. God have mercy 🙏
Good morning Team LNS❤❤
Looking beautiful as usual Lynn
LEAH refused to bow down and worship a statue. i likethat
No matter how big the problem is stay a way from crime ,crime does not pay .
The thing is, it is not problems that drive us into such,its the money or should i call it greed.we thank God that you are out and save.
Leah you are great woman!
There is a provision in the word of God for the wasted years..
He will REPAY the years eaten by locusts.
Take heart it is well with you.
God bless.
And another thing good people, never ever carry a package for anyone when traveling abroad !tell them to use courier.
Like a Ugandan guy last week was caught with drugs at da dubai airport..and it wasn't his bambi...some one put it in his stuff that he was to deliver in dubai...and da sentence in dubai is 15yrs to 20yrs...sending my prayers to him to be free in Jesus's name..these things do happen..
This is so sad😪may God protect him😍
Amen
