Teddy Waiyaki Saiteye

 For most of my life, I have lived in a world of silence. I am deaf and non-verbal. I cannot hear the voices of people around me, and I cannot use my own voice to speak. This reality has shaped every part of my journey. For many years, it made me feel limited and sometimes invisible. I often asked myself how I could ever fully express the thoughts, emotions, and stories that lived deeply inside my heart. Over time, I discovered something powerful and life-changing. Writing became my voice. In this post, I want to share honestly how writing transformed my life. I want to show how a simple act of putting words on paper (and later on a screen) gave me a way to speak to the world, even without sound. Growing Up Without a Spoken Voice As a child growing up in Kenya, I quickly learned that the world communicates mainly through spoken words. Family conversations, classroom lessons, church services, and friendly chats all happened through sound. I could see people’s lips moving and their f...

There are experiences in life that are difficult to explain. For many years, I have carried the memory of an experience that I understand as a near-death experience (NDE). It happened in 2011 at our home in California Estate, Nairobi, Kenya. I am sharing this story because I want to preserve my memory of what happened and allow others to understand my experience from my own perspective. I am deaf and non-verbal, and communication through signs is an important part of my story. This is my personal testimony. I am describing what I remember seeing, feeling, hearing, and experiencing. I understand that some parts of an NDE are spiritual perceptions that cannot be scientifically measured or independently verified. Before the Experience Before the experience, I was at home near the kitchen. Before going to bed, I prayed. I had a headache, heart pain, and weakness inside my body. I had taken medicine, but I remember mistakenly taking two medicines. Around midnight, I was lying down because I...

Introduction: A Journey Through the Shadows My name is Teddy. I am a deaf man living in Kenya, and my life has been a journey defined by both deep quiet and profound resilience. In 2014, I went through a sudden, frightening crisis that completely upended my life. What began as a terrifying medical and emotional emergency ultimately transformed into an essential milestone of my personal and spiritual journey. Navigating a world without sound already presents unique everyday hurdles, but experiencing a sudden mental and physiological crisis amplified those challenges in ways I never could have anticipated. This is the story of how I lost my way, how a community in Nairobi reached out to help, and how I ultimately found a lasting baseline of interior peace. The Night of the Crisis The crisis began unpredictably one evening. I was searching for my former girlfriend when, without warning, my heart began beating at an extremely rapid pace. I experienced a deep physical sensation—a powerful v...

There are moments in life that are difficult to explain. Some experiences remain in our memories for years, even when we cannot understand exactly why they happened. For me, one of the most unforgettable periods of my life was in 2011, when I experienced what I remember as three near-death experiences (NDEs). My name is Teddy Waiyaki Saiteye, and I am from Kenya. I am deaf and non-verbal, and much of my life has been shaped by experiences that I have sometimes struggled to communicate to other people. My spiritual journey has also been deeply influenced by events that I experienced personally and stories that I heard from others. My First NDE in May 2011 The first NDE I remember happened sometime between May 20 and May 25, 2011. I cannot remember the exact date, so I do not want to pretend that I know something I don't. What I remember is that this experience happened during those days and became one of the most important memories of my life. At that time, there was also considerab...

  Introduction My name is Teddy Waiyaki Saiteye. I am a deaf and non-verbal Christian writer from Kenya. My journey has taken me from the quiet streets of Kerugoya to a life devoted to writing about faith, hope, and the spiritual experiences that have shaped my life. What began as a childhood marked by silence has become a testimony of God's grace, purpose, and faithfulness. For many years, I wondered why my life was so different from that of other people. I could not hear conversations or express myself through spoken words. At times I felt isolated, misunderstood, and uncertain about my future. Yet through every challenge, God was quietly preparing me for a calling I could not yet understand. This article shares my personal testimony of that journey—from my childhood in Kenya to the spiritual experiences that strengthened my faith and inspired me to become a writer. My prayer is that my story encourages anyone who feels limited by disability, family circumstances, or life's d...

 Introduction Most people see deafness as a limitation. For many years, I believed the same thing. I was born deaf and non-verbal, growing up in a world filled with conversations, music, laughter, and sounds that I could not hear. There were times when I wondered why my life was so different from those around me. I questioned whether I would ever be able to communicate my thoughts, dreams, and faith in a meaningful way. As the years passed, however, God began to change my perspective. What I once viewed as a weakness slowly became one of the greatest gifts He has ever given me. Instead of allowing deafness to define me, God used it to shape my character, deepen my faith, and draw me into a closer relationship with Him. Today, I no longer see silence as something empty or lonely. Instead, I see it as a sacred place where God has taught me to listen with my heart. My journey has shown me that hearing God is not always about physical ears. It is about having a heart that is open to Hi...

 Introduction Throughout my life, God has allowed me to experience visions and spiritual encounters that have shaped my faith and understanding of His purpose. Among these experiences, one of the most meaningful to me is the vision of my Queen in Heaven. For me, this vision symbolizes love, hope, faithfulness, and the promise that God is able to accomplish His purposes beyond what we can fully understand. I share this testimony as my personal spiritual experience and reflection. It is not intended as doctrine for others but as part of my journey of faith. Through it, I have learned to trust God's timing, His wisdom, and His plan for my life. This story is closely connected to my near-death experience and the heavenly visions that strengthened my calling to write and encourage others. It reminds me that God sees every season of our lives and that His promises often unfold in ways we never expect. The Promise Made in Dandora My story begins in Dandora, Nairobi, during my childhood. L...

 Introduction Many people assume that being deaf and non-verbal means living in complete silence, disconnected from the world around them. While I cannot hear spoken words or communicate with my voice, my life has taught me that silence does not mean the absence of communication. Instead, it can become the beginning of a different kind of voice—one that reaches hearts through written words. My name is Teddy Waiyaki, and I live in Kenya. I am a Christian writer, blogger, and author. Through writing, I have discovered a purpose that I never imagined when I was younger. My keyboard has become my microphone, and every article, testimony, and book I publish allows me to share faith, hope, and encouragement with readers across the world. This is the story of how God transformed my silence into a digital voice. Early Years: Learning to Live in Silence Growing up as a deaf child was not always easy. I spent my early years in Kenya, where I quickly realized that the world communicates mainl...

Dear brothers, sisters, friends, and readers from around the world, Today, I am writing this message with a heart overflowing with gratitude and joy. When I opened my Blogger dashboard, I saw something I had been praying and hoping for over many months. My blog has now received more than 4,000 page views. To many people, 4,000 views may seem like a small number, but to me it represents something much greater. Every view represents a real person who has taken time to visit my website, read my testimony, and share in the spiritual journey that God has been leading me through. Every visitor reminds me that no testimony is ever wasted when it is shared with faith. I give all the glory and honor to God for opening this door. Readers from Around the World One of the most exciting parts of this milestone is seeing where my readers come from. According to my blog statistics, visitors have been reading my articles from many countries across the globe. Among the countries with the highest number...

 Introduction Many people imagine that living a spiritual life is filled with dramatic miracles and extraordinary experiences. While God certainly performs miracles, I have discovered that walking with Him is often found in the quiet moments of everyday life. It is a daily decision to trust Him, obey Him, and remain close to His presence. My name is Teddy Waiyaki Saiteye. I am a deaf and non-verbal Christian from Nairobi, Kenya. Although I cannot communicate through spoken words, I have learned that God speaks to the heart. My disability has taught me to listen carefully to His guidance and depend on Him every day. This is how I strive to live as a son of God. Starting Each Day with God Every morning, before I begin my daily activities, I spend time with God. I cannot pray with my voice, but I pray from my heart. I thank Him for the gift of another day and ask Him to guide my thoughts, decisions, and actions. The Bible says: "For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the chil...

Deeper Revelations from the 2012 NDE – My Spirit’s Stature and Future Role As I continue sharing my journey, the Father has shown me even more since my 2012 Near-Death Experience. In this Part 4, I open up about the stature of my spirit and the special calling He has placed on my life. My spirit is very tall — a giant in the heavenly realms, similar to Jehovah God in stature and glory. In the vision, Jesus Christ appeared as a shorter man, focused on ministry in the world. God explained this to me so I could understand my purpose. Jesus noticed me. He saw my very tall, giant spirit walking with archangels near the throne room of God. The Throne Room Encounter During and after the NDE, I was taken near the throne room. My spirit stood tall and giant, close to the Father. Archangels were present. Jesus looked at me and noticed my stature. This was not for pride, but to show me the assignment God has given me. My spirit is called to kingship — to rule and represent the Father’s aut...

How I Balance Earthly Body and Heavenly Spirit – Continuing My Testimony After the NDE In Part 1 I shared the dramatic NDE and Giant vision. In Part 2 I explained the difference between my earthly body (child of God) and my spirit (adopted son of God). Now in Part 3, I want to share how I live this reality every day and what the Father is showing me about the future. I still do not desire worship from people. My spirit finds complete satisfaction in direct communion with God the Father. My body lives humbly on earth — deaf and mute, facing normal challenges — but my spirit soars in constant connection with Heaven. My Daily Walk – Balancing Body and Spirit Every morning I wake up in my physical body with its limitations. I cannot hear or speak like others. Yet in my spirit, I immediately enter the presence of the Father. I thank Him for adopting my spirit into His family. This direct line brings me peace even when the world is difficult. I respect Jesus Christ as the unique Son...
