Luke
Luke
Luke’s father was a soldier and died before he turned three. He and his sister, Patience, lived with their three older siblings and their mother until she died from a brief illness. Luke's grandmother was impoverished and was unable to care for him and his sister, so she sought help. Luke and his sister arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2004. Luke has completed his studies at Rafiki and has been taking computer hardware and software classes at a computer school in Jos, Nigeria. Luke continues to strive to make good use of his time and seek God more often. He is learning to follow God no matter the cost.
