My Name is
Joanna

Joanna
Joanna is one of three triplets. She and her sisters, Jennifer and Janet, arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2002. Joanna now says that God has been faithful to her in guiding her for many years; she is convinced that the Lord will remain faithful to her. Joanna draws encouragement from the hymn "A Wonderful Savior is Jesus My Lord" because the lyrics remind her that God has her hidden in the depths of his great love.
