Aaron
Aaron
Aaron lived with his grandmother before he arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2013. His grandmother, a peasant farmer, struggled to provide food for herself and Aaron. She was 65 years old and suffers from arthritis. She was overjoyed when she learned that Aaron would be able to come and live at the Rafiki Village. She now has the comfort knowing that all his needs will be met, he will receive an excellent education, but most importantly he will learn about the God who loves him! Aaron believes Jesus is the Son of God who came to save us from our sins. He knows the Bible is the Word of God and it is all about Jesus Christ. Aaron is reading his Bible on his own and prays alone. He asks God to give him more wisdom at school and thanks Him for giving him Jesus Christ as his Savior. God has answered Aaron's prayer to improve in class. He has helped Aaron learn to love and even share things. From the story of the ten lepers, Aaron has learned the importance of saying thank you for the good done to him.
