Rabecca

Rabecca arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2009. Rabecca enjoys playing basketball and volleyball with her friends. She believes Jesus is the Son of God who died for her in order that she could have eternal life with Him. She knows God has given her a new heart, saved her, and made her His child.
