My Name is
Jimmy

Jimmy
Jimmy and his two sisters, Jamesetta and Amelia, arrived at Rafiki Village Liberia in October 2012. Though they tried, the children's aunt and grandmother could not properly care for them. Jimmy now hopes to be a mechanic when he grows up. He enjoys studying math and competing with his classmates for the right answer. He also enjoys fixing bikes after school. He has learned at the Rafiki Village that he should devote himself to honoring God because when God is with him, no one can harm him. His favorite hymn, "How Firm A Foundation," reminds Jimmy that the Lord Jesus is holding His children up with His omnipotent hand.
