My Name is
Natnael
Natnael
After his mother and father died, Natnael lived with his grandmother. His grandmother, though she tried, could not provide for his basic needs. Natnael was approved by social welfare services and was brought to the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2009. Natnael now has a mature fear of the Lord. He loves others and is eager to help them. He enjoys reading the Bible, and he is growing in his understanding of God's word. He also enjoys singing, and his favorite hymn is "How Firm a Foundation" because it reminds him that God's love is strong.
