Leonard
Leonard
Leonard is a double orphan. He and his twin brother, Boniface, lived with extended relatives for a time before arriving at Rafiki. They were approved by Social Welfare and arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2009. Leonard enjoys reading and helping in the Village dining hall. He believes Jesus is the only Redeemer. From God's word, Leonard has learned that God expects him to live a life that is pleasing to Him. He knows God has saved him and made him His son because the Bible tells him that Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins. He continues to pray for strength to do well in school and deepen his relationship with Christ.
