My Name is
Shadreck
Shadreck
Shadreck’s mother died in 2005 and his father died in 2006. He then lived in the home of his grandmother and aunt with three other orphaned children. The aunt sold vegetables to provide for the family but the children were not being cared for adequately and there was no money available for them to attend school. Social welfare asked the Rafiki Foundation to intervene in the life of Shadreck. In May of 2008 Shadreck joined his new family. Today Shadreck is in the 10th grade. Shadreck believes Jesus is God and that He is his only Savior and the only way to God. From God's word, he understands God wants him to put his faith in Jesus Christ alone. Shadreck knows God has given him a new heart, saved him, and made him His child. He knows because the Holy Spirit now directs him in his daily life. Shadreck enjoys helping others do different works or activities. He is involved in the local church as a choir member and also does some preaching.
