Jack
Jack
After Jack’s mother died in 2006, he began living with his grandparents. His grandmother died soon after that. His grandfather did his best to care for him, but did not have a steady income to provide for Jack. Social service placed 3-year-old Jack at Rafiki Village Zambia in 2007 where he has flourished. Now finishing Junior Secondary School, Jack maintains solid B/C grades and consistently exhibits fine behavior and attitudes towards his classmates, and teachers. He usually has a winsome, impish grin on his face. Jack believes God has given him a new heart, saved him, and made him His child. He believes Jesus is the Son of God. From His Word, Jack has learned to worship God, take some personal time to talk to Him, and that God wants him to be godly. He knows God wants him to obey, making good choices. Jack is learning to find answers to life's questions in the Bible. A couple of his questions are, "Where am I going?" and "How will I live my future life?"
