PKNZ Men’s Online Events

Living in Victory

Guest speaker former rugby league player Chris Nahi shares how he went from living his dreams, to falling into addiction and despair, to now Living in Victory.

Watch this interview where Chris tells his story from fame and fortune as a rugby league star on the Gold Coast, to hitting rock bottom addicted to drugs and ending up in prison.

One night in his prison cell, he had a powerful encounter with God and the chains of addiction fell away.

A prison chaplain had left a Bible in his room. So he started to read it. He began reading his Bible and the Word for Today, each day. Things began to change in Chris’ life, and he had hope.

All along his family were praying for him and sending him encouraging messages. His brother whose a Pastor even started an addiction recovery centre. Chris wonders if that was because his brother wanted to help Chris overcome his addictions.

Chris, soon after being released from prison, decided to go to his brother’s addiction recovery centre in Australia. Today, Chris is Program Coordinator for faith-based Victory House recovery centre in Whangarei. To find out more about Victory House see victoryhouse.com.au

This powerful story reminds us that there is always hope. That prayer for loved ones is powerful. That God is a God of Victory!

Invite your friends over and watch this message together.

Chris Nahi is a former NRL Gold Coast Charger and Māori representative rugby league player. But in 2003 he became addicted to meth and things spiralled down from there. Whilst in an Australian prison in 2016 he became a Christian. When released, he went to Victory House rehabilitation centre. In 2018 he was deported back to NZ and continued his journey of recovery. Today, Chris is Program Coordinator for Victory House recovery centre in Whangarei. Now he plays rugby league for his local club in Whangarei.

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:57)
