My Name is
Isaac
Isaac
Isaac's mother was sick and admitted him and his twin brother, Paul, to a transient home in Lusaka, Zambia in July 2012. The boys' mother passed away soon after. The father was also sick and unemployed, and he abandoned the boys. Isaac and his brother arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in November 2013. Isaac is a kind and affectionate young man. Playing basketball is one of his favorite things to do, but he also enjoys reading. He believes Jesus is his Savior, the Son of God who died for our sins. He knows the Bible is the Word of God and the story about Jesus Christ. One of his favorite Bible verses is Psalm 121:2.
