James
James
James’ mother died shortly after giving birth to him and his twin brother, Joseph. Their father died in 2007. After his death, they lived with their aunt. The aunt had seven children of her own. She did not have a husband and food was scarce. James’ aunt asked the Rafiki Foundation to help her as she has no means of keeping the children and educating them. Joseph, James, and Enala came to live at the Rafiki Village Zambia in September 2008. James is now in the 5th grade. James believes Jesus is the Son of God, his Savior, his Provider, and his Healer. He struggles, but does read his Bible and prays alone at bed time. God has answered his prayer to know how to read and concentrate on school work. James believes the Bible is God's word. He also believes God has saved him and that he is a child of God. He knows this because God has changed him. He is no longer arrogant to his cottage brothers. A hymn James has recently learned is "More About Jesus."
