My Name is
Salvio
Salvio
Salvio's mother died shortly after giving birth to him. His neighbors tried to help but had six children of their own and were unable to adequately care for him. In 2007, 3-year-old Salvio came to live at the Rafiki Village Zambia and has been thriving ever since. Now in Junior Secondary School Salvio is an honor roll student and his favorite subjects are math and English. Salvio believes Jesus is the one true living God. He knows God has given him a new heart. Salvio has been called to begin catechism class that he may be baptized as a believer. From his study of the Bible, Salvio has learned no one can be saved by his own works, but by his faith in Jesus Christ. He has also learned the Holy Spirit within him is the One producing the fruit of the Spirit in his life.
