Homeless Teen Alex Boyé Survived on Trash Before Finding Christ and Global Fame

What happens when a homeless teenager eating from London trash cans encounters Latter-day Saint missionaries and transforms into an international recording artist who presents The Book of Mormon to the future King of England? Alex Boyé's journey through foster care, abandonment, and abuse became the foundation for an unshakable testimony that has taken him to stages worldwide. After his mother left for Nigeria and never returned, Alex survived eight years of homelessness and guardian abuse before discovering the Latter-day Saints church through the missionary efforts of McDonald's manager.

In this episode of Why We Believe with host Nathan Gwilliam, Alex shares how trials became his greatest gifts, the miraculous two-day healing from pornography addiction through daily Book of Mormon reading, and the divine courage required to approach royalty with scripture. His story reveals that God's refining fire burns hottest when preparing us for extraordinary purposes, and that covenant-based scripture study provides healing power beyond human capability.
