My Name is
John

John
John has charm and charisma; he is a happy boy and has a quick smile in spite of his difficult start in life. He never knew his father and his mother left him with a caretaker when he was just a year old. Social Welfare contacted the Rafiki Foundation. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2012. John enjoys going to school and learning. He especially likes to study science and the Bible. John knows that only Christ gives everlasting peace through the Holy Spirit. His favorite verse is 2 Thessalonians 2:3 because it reminds him to be watchful for the second coming of Christ.
