My Name is
Luke
Luke
Luke’s father was a soldier and died before he turned three. He and his sister, Patience, lived with their 3 older siblings and their mother until she died from a brief illness. Luke's grandmother was impoverished and was unable to care for Patience and Luke, so social welfare determined that it was best that they both be placed 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. 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.
