From Unbelief to Unexpected Faith

A Faith Journeys’ story

Sam O Davies, BUC Communication and Media Director
18 December 2025

In a time marked by fear, isolation, and uncertainty, the Covid-19 pandemic became an unexpected turning point for one man’s faith journey. With no prior religious background and little interest in Christianity, he found himself compelled to pray for the very first time,  a quiet moment that would change the course of his life.

In this episode of Faith Journeys, John Newcombe shares how that single, unplanned prayer became the beginning of a growing relationship with God. From curiosity to conviction, and from unbelief to faith, his story is a powerful reminder that God often meets people in the most unexpected moments, and that even the simplest prayer can open the door to transformation.
