My Name is
Kefas

Kefas
Kafes’s father died a few months before he was born, and his mother died when he was two years old. The people in his village were very impoverished and were unable to provide sufficient care for him. He wandered the streets looking for food for a time before coming to Rafiki. Kafes arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2006. Kefas has learned a lot about the importance of truth and integrity as he studies the Bible. He wants to be a person who can be trusted. Kefas strives to devote himself fully to God, and he trusts that God will do great things.
