Elizabeth
Elizabeth
Elizabeth comes from a very poor family in Zambia; her mother died shortly after giving birth and the father disappeared after her death. Elizabeth stayed with her elderly grandparents along with a great-grandmother after the death of her mother. No one in the family was employed so they depended on others for their daily sustenance. The family asked for help from the Rafiki Foundation. Elizabeth arrived at her new home in April 2014. Now Elizabeth is in the 4th grade. Elizabeth believes Jesus is the One who was born to come and die for her. She reads her Bible on her own and prays to God alone. When she prays, she asks God to help those who are sick, and to help her to obey and to love others. God has answered her prayers by helping her obey, love, respect, and honor Him. He has helped her not be bad and has helped those who were sick. The story of Jesus' birth in Luke 2 is the one she likes the most because she knows the reason He was born was to die for us.
