My Name is
Jehoshaphat
Jehoshaphat
Jehosephat’s parents died of a fatal illness when he was a young child. Jehosephat and his sister, Christabel, needed a stable home environment. Their extended family asked for help from the Rafiki Foundation. They arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2009. Today, Jehosephat is an excellent student who likes school. The pleasure he takes in learning is often visible on his smiling face in school. Jehosephat seeks to be careful about the things he says, and he strives to encourage others rather than break others down. He hopes to treat others as Christ did in His earthly ministry.
