Genet
Genet
Genet’s mother died when she was a year old, and her father is unknown. A kind neighbor took Genet in and cared for her after her mother’s death. This neighbor had four children of his own and also took care of his elderly mother, so he sought help from Social Welfare. Genet arrived at her new home at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in December 2012. She is now full of joy and love for others, and she is a good helper around her home and the Village. God's word has taught Genet many things. She says that He teaches her as she reads the Bible. His word has taught her not to sing non-spiritual songs, but to focus on music and hymns that teach truths about Him. She has also been growing in understanding the need to be aware of personal sin and a focus on non-spiritual things. God calls her to be apart from the world and he calls her to focus her life on Jesus Christ.
