My Name is
Patience
Patience
Patience was abandoned by her mother in 2005, and her father cared for her until he died in 2008. Patience's uncle took her into his home with his own six children and wife. Unable to care for Patience and his own family adequately, he contacted the Rafiki Foundation for assistance. Patience arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2009. Patience loves learning and her friends and teachers at school. Patience knows and loves Jesus as her Savior and Creator. Through her Bible class, she has learned to put her confidence in her sovereign and faithful Savior.
