Saji Mathews, a person with complete blindness, is a sought-after speaker. He has taken his message and shared his story with audiences across the globe, challenging them to “be positive and confident and carry the world in hand.”
On 4th September 2000, Saji was coming out of his IT company when he found his vision blurring. The ten-minute walk from his office to the bus stop made him lose his vision completely. Doctors treated him rigorously in every possible way but could not save his sight. He had a sparkling career before him as a software engineer, but everything was shattered within no time. Yet God had His own plans. One word — “all” — from Romans 8:28 played a vital role in Saji’s life. He was sure that his blindness, too, would “work together for good.”
His journey begins far from what he lost. Today Saji is an officer in an organisation of the Government of India. His incredible life-story contains many highs and lows — a unique journey of success and failure that started with determination and the desire to “never give up,” no matter what, no matter how long. He speaks with clarity, passion, purpose and humour about the persistence needed to achieve what you think is beyond your reach.
Saji is an apologist and deals brilliantly with topics such as “the Existence of God in the Problem of Evil.” He has spoken in many schools, churches, conferences, Bible colleges and university forums on topics related to the Christian faith.
