Gideon
Gideon
Gideon and his twin brothers arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2010. Gideon soon stood out among his peers because of his genuine kindness and his sweet spirit. He works hard to be patient with others and is a good friend by sharing what he has, especially God’s Word. In school, Gideon enjoys his IT courses because of all the new things he can discover. He encourages other children to enroll in the Rafiki School because of the curriculum’s focus on God’s Word. Gideon prays that he will be diligent in his studies, grow closer to God, and make wise decisions.
