Christopher Duffley, 12 has autism and is registered blind. He was placed in foster care when he was just a baby.
Christopher did not begin to speak until the first grade and discovered his ability to sing and play instruments from an early age.
The Blaze reports that Christopher recently performed at World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee where he inspired parishioners with a performance of Mercy Me’s “I Can Only Imagine.”
