Beatrice
Beatrice’s parents died of a terminal illness shortly after she was born and was put in the care of her grandmother. The grandmother was a subsistence farmer and struggled to provide for and take care of Beatrice. She was thrilled when Beatrice was able to move to the Rafiki Village Zambia in September 2014. Now Beatrice is in the 2nd grade. Beatrice knows that Jesus died for her and she believes that He is her personal Savior. She reads her Bible on her own and prays alone to God. In her prayers she thanks God for creating her and asks him to keep her and heal her when she is sick. Beatrice knows God has answered those prayers for her. She has learned to discern right from wrong and is happy when someone does the right thing. Beatrice likes the message in Scripture of Jesus' promise to come again for her. She has learned the hymn "Jesus Paid it All."
