James Leviston
James Leviston has an amazing story to tell. About 3 years ago, things went terribly wrong when he was testing out a flying fox, resulting him falling 4 metres onto the edge of a cliff and then another 5 metres onto rocks below. With severe head injuries and his back broken in multiple places, the prognosis wasn’t good. The doctors said he wouldn’t survive. As he clung to life, they said he would be left a quadriplegic. James’ will to live and faith in a God who still works miracles today saw him totally healed. He has even run marathons since his accident.
