My Name is
Samuel
Samuel
Samuel’s father died in 2003 and his mother in 2005. Samuel and his brother Jeff then began living with their nineteen-year-old sister, but she was unable to care for them. In 2007 the boys were placed in Rafiki Village Zambia where they flourished with the security, food, and love of their new home. Now in Grade 10, Samuel studies hard and is on the honor roll . He believes Jesus is the eternal Son of God who was sent to save us from our sins and that He has done just that for him! Samuel knows that God gave him a new heart, saved him, and made him His child, because he asked God to save him and trusts Him to keep His promise. Samuel is learning to find answers in the Bible to the deep questions he has regarding his identity and purpose in life.
