At just 12 years old, Ndivhuwo Muthathi, a student at Saints Christian School, has accomplished something many only dream of— publishing his very own book. Titled Faith Adventure and Discovering Jesus, the book chronicles his personal journey of faith and perseverance, driven by a message from God that he received when he was just 11.

Ndivhu’s journey to becoming a published author began with a Bible reading challenge. According to Ndivhu God spoke to him during this challenge and instructed him to take what he had learned from the Bible and turn it into a book. This divine message set Ndivhu on a path that would not only test his faith but also help him discover his passion for writing. “It was overwhelming at first,” he recalls, “I didn’t know where to start, but God was always there to help me finish the task.” The book’s message is clear: When God gives you an opportunity to be trusted with something big, you should embrace it with faith and believe that you can fulfil it.

Ndivhu’s inspiration comes from a particular Bible story—Jesus feeding the 5 000 with just five loaves of bread and two fish—which taught him that, just like salt adds flavour to food, he too is called to make a difference in the world.At just 12 years old, Ndivhuwo Muthathi, a learner at Saints Christian School, has accomplished something many only dream of— publishing his very own book.
