Emmanuel's Dream

By: Laurie Ann Thompson

Born in Ghana with one strong leg and one malformed, Emmanuel faced cultural stigma where disabilities were seen as curses. But his mother believed he was destined for more and named him Emmanuel, meaning “God is with us.” With grit, faith, and a powerful sense of purpose, Emmanuel proved his worth—not just to his family but to an entire nation. This inspiring true story celebrates perseverance, love, and the impact one determined child can have on the world.

The true story of a very determined Ghanaian boy who was born with one healthy leg and one misshapen leg.  For his culture and community, his kind of handicap was seen by many as a sign of a curse, and these children were often left to die.  But Emmanuel’s mother was a woman of faith, and she named her boy, “Emmanuel—God is with us.” Emmanuel went on to become a blessing, not only to his mother and siblings, but to his entire country.  This is Emmanuel’s remarkable and heroic story.
