My Name is
Claudia

Claudia
After Claudia's parents died, she was placed in the care of her elderly grandmother. Though she tried, Claudia's grandmother was unable to care for her and sought help. Claudia arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2003. Claudia has learned that God is true to His Word, and this helps her grow in her relationship with God. She desires to submit to His sovereignty in her thoughts, speech, and actions. She likes the book of Hebrews because it reminds her that Christ is all-sufficient.
