My Name is
Michael

Michael
Michael’s mother died of an illness in 2005, and his father died after an accident. Michael and his sister, Faith, went to live with their father’s cousin, but his wife did not approve of the children living with them. Michael and Faith arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2006. Michael has learned a lot about patience and trusting God's timing in his walk with the Lord. He does not understand everything about life, but he is trusting that God will provide for all his needs. Michael seeks to pursue godliness and obedience, and he wants to be a man of God.
