Reconnected with my family 27 yrs after my mother’s friend stole me and changed my identity at age 5

When Joyce was 5 years old, her neighbor who also happened to be her mother’s friend made a decision that would change Joyce and her family forever. She took her when her mother was away and took her to a completely different location and that day marked the beginning of 27 years as a different person . From Joyce Wanjiru, to Joyce Chepngeno.
On today’s episode of LNS, Rebuilding series, she walks us through her life in those 27 years, finding out her whole life was a life, forgiveness, rebuilding and reconnecting with her family

I think what should be acknowledged is that such situations are complex and are not black and white like we like to think. She had an entire existence in the world she was thrust in and in those years there was the bad but still moments of joy and good. Listening to others who have gone through similar experiences you see that they cannot completely deny the bond that was created against the backdrop of having been kidnapped. This is her story.... this is how she has made it through, has been able to heal and forgive and move on. We cannot tell her how to be or deal with a life we have never lived. This is her life and her story. I am just glad that despite the pain and suffering she is not a victim but a woman who is now thriving and living out her purpose.

Remember Joyce is the victim in all this. She is the one who went through what she went through. The way she chooses to move ahead with her life is her business. She has decided to embrace all sides of her identity, the good, the bad, the ugly, and yes the names. Stop putting more labels on an already kidnapped, raped, isolated, innocent 5 y/o Joyce who had no role in what became of her life. Some insensitive comments are just whack, she has chosen to live life without regrets. This is not a sob story, its a story of hope and strength. Stop this nonsense of victimizing the victim. Thank you Joyce for telling your story.

Sis, I refuse your rational of an adult's behaviour towards a child as 'her own frustrations' . No. You were a child with no other experience. She created this exeprience for you. She was an adult. She knew better. You have to one day realise that part.

[@angelique6887]

@@angelique6887 There is no problem. Infact she has been very strong to come out of the fire unscathed or not so broken so to speak.

[@Cynthiajee-j1]

The way i see my sister in painful after her kid was kidnapped since 2018 up to date she have never found her ,,there is no justification of being barren ad taking someone child ,while thier parents are struggling to find her ,i wish those who kidnapped kids could communicate ad tell them to relax they have thier kids so tht the parents could not worry everyday,,we pray to God that one day we will see her ad united again its painful to lose a child from unknown people, sometimes you wil prefer if know the child is dead than knowing nothing at thier wellabouts ,

[@trendinggossip8692]

Thats so sad, the ppl responsible for this should be held responsible

[@eddahwambui1306]

Wish you saw shirus family in njanjo, they were very affected

[@AnnKanini]

​@@eddahwambui1306true even the mum died she had mental breakdown. I guess it's the pain of where her child went to

[@joanshitawa8035]

[@reginanduku807]

Joyce you are a strong woman i pray one day i will be able to reunite with my dads family. The story has given me so much hope when i though i had reached the end

[@JoyceMoses-zw5no]

I've watched this with tears at the same time laughing, Joyce has a free spirit no wonder she forgave the perpetrators, I'm happy she reconnect with her biological family👏👏❤❤

[@milkahwahome2182]

I trust my adopted sister will one day unite with her Family...we tried tracing her family but 22years later we are yet to find them..... What i know is she was picked somewhere in Eldoret, we assumed her name was Cynthia by the way she was pronouncing it.....if you know any family looking for her daughter/ sibling...and she is a kalenjin origin, because when she is was brought home she spoke kalenjin.

[@ngendonancy8994]

Maybe you can try man nyari

[@JOYCHEPKORIR-ds4mg]

Thank you Lynn for bringing this lady,I forgive my past❤I have learned a lot

[@brendadaylight8962]

She is a happy girl. She is strong. Thank you Lnny

[@goxonikelwa670]

Joyce story is such a great encouragement, she reminds me of Joyce Meyer. She turned her story into a life of Ministry. She is now a great teacher in matters of faith.

[@manyifavor5084]

This right here is the display of "taking your power back"!!! 🙏🙏🙏 May God be Praised!

[@joswiftsalesfarmershub9514]

This lady is so strong lynn...I really understand how God works in our lives through her . Her story relates alot to Joseph's story in the bible.

[@hildamavuso1620]

This girl is stronger than her story. I'm just in awe

[@josephgitonga2030]

They meant to harm you but God meant it for good. I like the fact that you concentrated with positivity and not negativity. You are a true woman of God reflecting the light of our saviour Jesus Christ. May our story continual crashing the head of the serpent ( devil).

[@willabon8387]

This so touching am crying. She is so strong and has a good heart. Thanks Lynn this was deep

[@florencemawere2338]

This is the mother of all shows for 2024@ LNN Am seeing the whole biblical promises in Joyce. May she enjoy her marriage as if nothing happened🙏🏿

[@joycegumbo2732]

This lady is such a gentle soul 💓💓 she made me really 😢 listening to her story. She's such a God fearing woman.

[@anitagathunguri]

Hi Lynn this story inspired me so much.. I resonate with most of what she's gone through.. bless her.... I hope I'll get to share my story with you one day.. You are an inspiration.

[@cessr8210]

I admire you Joyce, forgiving is good it set you free and itsvtrue everything passes.

[@kazmorich]

I'm totally speechless...these are those mysteries of God that we hear about coz there's no way she's this composed after all that story. It can only be God. I hope her mother is happy in heaven now. This is one of the biggest stories that really makes me see what Lynn's purpose is and that it is a God given purpose.

[@jacquelinemuthamia1651]

Joyce's story is like a movie, watched it on kameme TV 2019. Reunion was December 2019 in karatina, inspiring but equally very painful

[@lydiamuthoni1009]

I can't help 😢...a teacher aka a dad from hell.We should empower children to speak out despite threats from perpetrators.Let us also be on the lookout, the people who abuse children are mostly around them. Truly, we are wounded for the healing of others.Thankyou Joyce for sharing

[@Moraa_E]

Well such an amazing testimony. She's got a good heart. But she should say 'God brings good out every bad thing' Because as much as God has a purpose for us all, He's give a choices and judgement. He wants the best for everyone. As much we may feel deviated or bad things happen there for us, God takes control to ensure all turn out well. Lynn me i see your reaction on forgiveness. I get you.

[@esthershiko1173]

Am 38 and I have hope of being reconnected with my biological father. Thanx for sharing your story❤

[@zephaniahkebwage9999]

It's fine,but it's not fine

[@rosesiambe4465]

Oh my! I could watch this over and over again. A movie as you rightly put it.What a lady, what a story!Such a kind heart,one in a million.Forgiveness heals.May your story inspire many.

[@Kshanice25]

Your story is quite touching, indeed its for a purpose to bring healing to others. You have a beautiful soul young lady, you are an overcomer.

[@nancymugera5971]

You are indeed a strong soul Joyce. You are such an inspiration of choosing how to respond to what happens. God continue healing you to perfection

[@anneelisaphan6908]

Someone pls tag Man Nyari. He had aired this Angelic Girl on his program and she reunited with her biological family. All glory to God for all He's doing in the life of Joyce. We love you so much Joyce and may God open greater doors for you and your family.

[@sellahmutiovo3090]

[@carolinecampbell4040]
