Esther
Esther and her three sisters lost their mother due to high blood pressure and their father to alcoholism. After the deaths of their parents in 2010, they moved in with their widowed grandmother. She had no source of income and food for the family was a daily problem. A total of nineteen people lived in her home and life was indeed very difficult. The family was overjoyed when these four little girls came to live at Rafiki Village Zambia in May 2011. Today Esther is in grade 4. Esther says she believes Jesus is the Son of God who is love. He rose and is on the right hand of God waiting to receive her. She knows the Bible is God's word and is about His love. Esther reads her Bible on her own and sometimes prays alone to God. When she prays, she asks God to add more blessings on her life, help her do His will, and help her concentrate at school. God has answered Esther's prayer for life and for rain.
