My Name is
Paul
Paul
Paul and his twin brother, Isaac’s, mother was sick and admitted them to a transient home in Lusaka, Zambia in July 2012. The mother passed away within the same year. The father was also sick and unemployed, and therefore was unable to care for the boys. They arrived at Rafiki Village Zambia in November 2013. Now Paul is in the 3rd grade. Paul believes Jesus is the Son of God and his Redeemer. He knows the Bible is the Word of God and most recently learned about the story of when Abraham and Lot separated. Paul can read his Bible on his own, but not very much. He does pray alone, giving Him honor, glory, and thanks for giving him life and everything he needs. God has answered Paul's request for help to be able to read, change his behavior in class, and stop taking his friends' things. Paul recently learned the hymn "Rock of Ages."
