Gracious
Gracious
Gracious’s mother died of stomach cancer shortly after giving birth to her. Gracious's father then abandoned her and her sister, Felistas. They were then placed in the care of their elderly grandmother who was already caring for five children. She had very little means to support the girls and sought help. The girls arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2009. Gracious continues to grow in patience and love. She believes the Bible is the truth, and she enjoys studying it with her classmates at Rafiki. She spends time alone reading God's word and praying. Gracious says she knows God has saved her and made her His child.
