My Name is
Enoch
Enoch
Enoch’s father died in 2008 and his mother in 2009. After that, he lived with his grandmother. There were seven people already living in the home. The family was sometimes able to eat everyday but not always. They asked The Rafiki Foundation for help. Enoch joined the Rafiki Village Zambia in January 2011. Enoch is now in the 5th grade. Enoch knows the Bible is true and sometimes he reads it to himself. He believes Jesus is the Creator of all things. Enoch hasn't begun praying alone, but when praying with his Rafiki mom, he has asked God to give him wisdom and knowledge. If Enoch does something wrong he feels bad, but thinks to blame someone else. He states that he does not know if God has given him a new heart, saved him, and made him His child. Enoch says he is a good listener, but needs to work on obeying adults.
