My Name is
Feyise
Feyise
Feyise, along with her brother Gadissa, were orphaned in 2008 and placed in the care of an impoverished aunt. Their nutrition and health suffered. Social Welfare verified that the children were orphans in desperate need of help. Feyise and Gadissa arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2011. There is now a great hope for their future! Feyise says, "God is changing me as I read the Bible. The verse that has made the biggest difference is where Jesus calls us to be peacemakers. I am trying to be a peacemaker at school. I ask God to help me be a good student. I am also praying that I will be successful in my studies. I am praying that all my family will follow Jesus and every member will become Christian."
