My Name is
Gideon

Gideon
Gideon and his younger twin brothers arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2010. Gideon soon stood out among his peers because of his genuine kindness. He is very sweet to everyone. History is his favorite subject in school because he sees it as a story. "Though Troubles Assail Us" has become one of Gideon's favorite hymns as it reminds him not to fear the troubles of life because of God's great promises. He continues to pray to be faithful, kind, truthful, and obedient.
