My Name is
Micheal
Micheal
When he was two months old, Michael was abandoned at a shop in Kampala, Uganda. Michael then came to the Rafiki Village Uganda in February of 2005. Micheal chose Galatians 5:22-23 as his favorite Bible verse “because I want to grow in love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control.” Micheal's favorite subjects are biology, commerce, and art. Michael believes that Jesus is God and that He has made Himself known through the Bible.
