Mercy

Mercy
Mercy’s mother passed away some time in 2003, and her father remains unknown. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2004. Mercy is a hard-working student. She enjoys tackling new challenges, especially in math, and learning new things. From the Rafiki Bible Study, she has learned that she should rejoice always and give thanks in all circumstances. She has become a strong role model for other young believers at the Village. She strives to work with all her heart for God and not for men, knowing that from the Lord she will receive an inheritance as her reward.
