My Name is
Josiah
Josiah
Josiah's parents were killed in tribal clashes in 2002. His extended family struggled to care for him. Josiah and his sister, Judith, came to the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2004. He soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment at the Village. Josiah strives to be more intentional about loving others well. He wants to fully trust the Lord with his life, and he is ready and willing to do what God requires of him. Josiah continues to pray that he will grow in the knowledge of Jesus.
