My Name is
Grace

Grace
Grace and her brother, Martin, arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2005. Grace is a unique and creative girl with a very active imagination. She enjoys helping those in need and sharing what she has. Her favorite part of each day is attending Bible class because she learns to love God and know him more. Through singing hymns and studying the Bible, she is reminded that God will continue to be faithful to her in both good times and bad. Grace prays that her family and friends will know Christ as their Savior and that she will trust God more each day.
