Joseph
Joseph
Joseph’s mother died shortly after giving birth to him and his twin brother, James. Their father died in 2007. After his death, the three siblings lived with their aunt. The aunt had seven children of her own. Though she tried, she could not provide for the children's basic needs and sought help. Joseph, his twin, and their sister arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in September 2008. Joseph enjoys playing baseball with his friends during his free time. He believes Jesus is his Savior and Redeemer. He believes God has made him a new creation, saving him and making him His child. He knows the Bible is the Word of God and he is to obey His Word. Joseph continues to pray for strength to do well in school and glorify God in all he does.
