Shauna Muamba – Keep The Faith Magazine Woman of the Year (2013)

IMG_6563Wife of ex-footballer Fabrice Muamba is a remarkable woman. When the media spotlight was turned on her in during one of the most difficult time in her life, she chose to trust God, rather sink into despair.

When her husband, former Bolton Wanderer footballer Fabrice Muamba, collapsed and his heart stopped beating for 72 minutes while playing an FA Cup Quarter Final football match against Spurs on March 17 2012, Shauna was able to tweet a message saying ‘God is in control’ and encouraged the nation to pray for Fabrice. And the whole nation did. One could pick often out at televised matches placards with the words ‘WE ARE PRAYER FOR YOU PATRICE….a truly remarkable feat.

God used Shauna Muamba’s three-word tweet to encourage the whole nation to pray. And those prayers were answered. Fabrice is alive today the couple now have two children.
