My Name is
Faith
Faith
Faith’s mother died giving birth to her, and her father remains unknown. Faith was in the care of her grandmother after the death of her mother. There were no other family members to care for Faith, and her elderly grandmother could not properly care for her; Faith was malnourished, slept on a palm mat, and her clothing was shabby. Her grandmother asked Rafiki for help. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2010. Faith enjoys studying math and English. She hopes to be a journalist when she grows up. She wants to be able to interview people and share their stories. Faith knows Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. Her favorite hymn is "How Great Thou Art" because it declares how great God is.
