My Name is
Shadreck
Shadreck
Shadreck’s mother died in 2005, and his father died in 2006. Following their deaths, he lived with his grandmother, aunt, and three other orphaned children. Though she tried, his aunt could not provide for his basic needs and schooling. After being referred by social welfare services, Shadreck arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2008. Shadreck believes Jesus is God, and he trusts in Him for salvation. Shadreck knows God has given him a new heart, saved him, and made him His child. He is assured of his salvation because the Holy Spirit directs him in his daily life. Shadreck has a servant's heart, and he enjoys helping others and offering his assistance where he can. He is involved in the local church as a choir member, and he has even done a bit of preaching there.
