They Are Living in Chains: My Quest to Liberate Africa’s “Untouchables”

In this powerful memoir, Grégoire Ahongbonon recounts his remarkable journey from garage owner to tireless advocate for the mentally ill in West Africa, where superstition and fear often condemn the vulnerable to chains and abandonment. Transformed by personal trials and a profound encounter with God’s mercy, he dedicates his life to rescuing those cast aside, providing shelter, medical care, and human dignity amid poverty and cultural resistance. Moving through war zones and hardship with steadfast faith, his story reveals both the suffering endured and the hope restored. This inspiring account testifies to the miracles that unfold when one responds courageously to God’s call to serve the least of His children.
