My Name is
Jeremiah
Jeremiah
After the death of his parents, Jeremiah lived with a family member. Though she tried, this family member could not provide for Jeremiah's basic needs and asked Rafiki for help. Jeremiah arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in March 2013. Jeremiah enjoys studying the Bible and learning truths about God, and he trusts Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. Jeremiah has learned that God's laws are good but they cannot save sinners, that his laws point to Jesus our Savior, and that sinners need faith to follow Jesus. He seeks to be kind to others and to work diligently in school.
