My Name is
Pererat
Pererat
Pererat’s mother died soon after he was born, and his father disappeared after riots that broke in Jos, Nigeria in 2008. He was placed in the care of an aunt for a time. She was a widow and was needy herself. Social Welfare recommended Pererat be placed at the Rafiki Village Nigeria, and he arrived in November 2009. He soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Pererat is now eager to grow in his faith. He understands the gospel and what Jesus did so he might be saved. He strives to be increasingly consistent in his studies for God's glory.
