My Name is
Nahom
Nahom
When Nahom was just three years old, his mother died of a sudden illness, and after the mourning period, his father abandoned him. His grandmother endeavored to care for him but was unable to provide for his needs. Nahom arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2010. Nahom is thankful for the friendships he has with his Rafiki family, and he continues to mature into a godly young man. He has a heart to preach God’s Word and a desire to grow in holiness. He is humble and loving and strives to show God’s love to others by being grateful and content with all God has given him. Nahom prays that he will always remember God’s love for him, give others the benefit of the doubt, and continue to grow in patience.
