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. She did not have a husband and food was scarce. Joseph’s aunt asked the Rafiki Foundation to help her as she has no means of keeping the children and educating them. Joseph, James, and Enala came to live at the Rafiki Village Zambia in September 2008. Joseph believes Jesus is his Savior and He is his Redeemer. He believes God has made him a new creation, saving him and making him His child. The old has gone. When he does something wrong, Joseph feels bad, accepts his guilt and tells the one he has wronged that he is sorry. He knows the Bible is the Word of God and he is to obey His Word. Joseph sometimes reads it on his own and he prays alone before bedtime. He has asked God to help him concentrate at school work. God has been answering that prayer. James is in the 5th grade.
