Rabson
Rabson
Rabson and his brother Vincent moved in with their grandmother when their parents died in 2011. His grandmother is a widow taking care of six of her own children, six orphaned grandchildren, and her own elderly mother in a very small home. Only one daughter has managed to find work. This is the only income for this family of fourteen. Rabson's grandmother was overjoyed when the two boys joined their new Rafiki family in 2013 and the burden for their care was lifted from her. Rabson is in the 4th grade. Rabson believes Jesus is the true Son of God who came to save us from our sins. He knows the Bible is the Word of God. It is the story of God's creation and the Lord Jesus Christ. Rabson reads his Bible on his own and prays alone to God. He asks God to protect and guide him. Rabson prays God will give him more courage at school and to have more love for others. God has answered his prayers by helping him do well in class with behavior, attitude, having love for his friends, and sharing.
