Dennis
Dennis
Dennis lived with his grandmother since his mother was not capable of caring for him, and his father abandoned the family when he was a baby. His grandmother also cared for four of her own children and ten grandchildren. The family survived by selling small quantities of merchandise on the street. The grandmother asked social welfare for help and the Rafiki Foundation was contacted. Dennis arrived at his new home at the Rafiki Village Zambia in September 2014. Now he is in the 1st grade! Dennis believes Jesus is the Son of God and the Bible is God's word. He is not reading the Bible on his own yet, but Dennis listens as his Rafiki mother and brothers read. He prays alone. When he prays, he asks God to give him wisdom and to help him improve in school. Dennis says God is answering his prayer. Abraham is one of Dennis' most-liked Bible stories because it teaches him about faith. He has recently learned the hymn "My Faith Looks Up to Thee."
