My Name is
Cephas
Cephas
Cephas's father died just before he was born, and his mother died when he was just four years old. None of his extended family had the financial means to take care of him. Social welfare then recommended that Cephas come to live at the Rafiki Village Nigeria, and he arrived in 2005. Cephas has completed his education at the Rafiki School and is being supported by Rafiki through university. Cephas enjoys reading about church history, especially the brave men and women who have been martyred for the Lord. Reading about such people helps him put more trust in God. He continues to pray that he will trust God with his education and always seek God's face before he makes decisions.
