How Writing Became My Journey From the Wound of an Absent Father to the Healing Love of the Heavenly Father – Ngoakoana Alphi Ntjana - Impacting lives with Christian Literature

My name is Ngoakoana Alphi Ntjana. I was born and raised in Bochum, Limpopo, South Africa. I am a born-again Christian and a mother of two beautiful children.

I serve at The Glade Church of the Nazarene as a member. I am a pastor, intercessor, conference speaker, businesswoman, and accredited counsellor. I hold a Diploma in Business Management and Advanced Ministry Studies. I worked as a Cash and Bank Administrator at KFC PTY LTD for 11 years.

I served as a youth leader and in church administration at Fire of God Ministries International. I also have a passion for young people and young women, especially in the area of healing and personal development. I am now leading prayer revivals in my church community, which bring spiritual awakening and call the Church back to the altar of prayer.

The Heart Behind My Writing

I was writing about how the wound of an absent father affects the life of a young girl. The reason was to minister healing to wounded daughters and to assure them that an earthly father may be absent, but there is a Heavenly Father who loves us unconditionally. He is always there to embrace and heal us.

Overcoming Writer’s Block

Yes, I did encounter writer’s block. I would stop and walk around, listen to worship, and study the Word.

Receiving Feedback During the Writing Class

It felt like, “Wow, is it my work?” It was so encouraging, and I did not expect that out of what I had written about would come such a beautiful story.

The structure helped me a lot, and it gave me an idea. The area of improvement, yes, I felt so stuck and did not know where to start, what to take out, and what to leave.

Prioritising My Writing Journey

I would wake up in the early hours of the morning because my mind works much better at that time. Sometimes during the day, when I got inspiration, I would write.

My Experience With the CLC Kenya Writing Class

It was a great experience working with the team. The content was very helpful. Yes, I would recommend someone because it gives clarity on how to go about it.

A Beautiful Journey of Healing and Liberation

Writing is a beautiful journey. Pouring what you carry within you on paper serves as a tool of inspiration, healing, and liberation for many lives and destinies. Through this journey, I have learnt that what God places inside us is not only for us. When we surrender it to Him, He can use our words to touch, heal, and awaken others.

During the ceremony, each writer shared their writing journey, the inspiration behind their book, and the lessons learnt through the mentorship process. The event also highlighted CLC Kenya’s wider mission of advancing the gospel through Christian literature, a mission connected to CLC’s global work across 44 countries.

The CLC Kenya’s Writing Class has continued to grow since its beginning in 2020, raising writers who are not only completing manuscripts but also preparing to publish books that will serve families, churches, communities, and nations.

The 2026 graduating writers were encouraged to move forward into the publishing and marketing phase, with the hope of celebrating their published works in 2027 with an in-person graduation set for 28th November 2026 at Garden Estate.

As the session closed in prayer and thanksgiving, the charge was clear: graduation is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of greater stewardship. These writers carry stories, testimonies, teachings, and messages that can impact Africa and beyond.
