My Name is
Jeremiah
Jeremiah
After the death of his parents, Jeremiah lived with a family member. Though she tried, she could not provide for Jeremiah's basic needs. She asked Rafiki for help and Jeremiah arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2013. Jeremiah strives to study hard in school and he especially enjoys studying God’s Word. He seeks to share his faith with others by telling them the truths found in Scripture. When he finishes his schooling, he hopes to become a pilot so that he can help others learn about the world God created. Jeremiah prays that he will grow in wisdom and self-control so that his responses will glorify God.
