My Name is
Ebenezer

Ebenezer
Ebenezer and his brother arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2009. Ebenezer is artistic and creative and could spend hours drawing and coloring. He is a thoughtful young man who likes helping his teachers clean their classrooms. Once he finishes his schooling, he hopes to become a hotel manager because he enjoys being hospitable. As he studies the book of Exodus, Ebenezer learns more about putting his trust in God. Looking back on the last few years, he can see how he has grown in his knowledge of God. Ebenezer prays that he will always be kind to others, that his faith will grow stronger, and that he will abide by the Word of God.
