My Name is
John
John
John’s father had been deceased for a few years when his mother died in 2007. After his mother's death, John and his brother, Mathias, were given to an impoverished uncle who could not properly care for the boys' needs. After being recommended by a social worker, John and his brother arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2008. John soon proved to be very helpful and often volunteers to stay after school to help clean the classroom. Through the Rafiki Bible Study on Romans 13:1, John has learned that it is God's plan for Christians to obey the authorities He has placed over them. He thinks this is a good lesson for a young man to learn. He continues to pray for academic and spiritual growth.
