My Name is
Jeremiah
Jeremiah
At two months of age, Jeremiah was abandoned at a local hospital. He was cared for by the hospital staff for a few months and then released to a babies' home in August of 2003. No relatives ever came to claim him. He came to the Rafiki Village Uganda in February 2005. Jeremiah’s favorite hymn is “Trust and Obey,” and his favorite Bible character is—Jeremiah! Jeremiah's favorite subject is history because he enjoys finding out about the past and then thinking about how it impacts the present and the future. He also enjoys biology, especially learning about living things and animals. Jeremiah was amused that God knows the number of hairs on his head. Jeremiah is comforted by the fact that God knew him before he was born and that He has good plans for him.
