My Name is
Rabecca
Rabecca
Rabecca is a double orphan. She lived with her aunt and grandmother after the death of her parents. Though they tried, her aunt and grandmother could not provide for her basic needs and sought help. Rabecca arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2009. Rabecca enjoys playing basketball and volleyball with her friends. She believes Jesus is the Son of God who died for her in order that she could have eternal life with Him. She knows God has given her a new heart, saved her, and made her His child. From God's Word, Rabecca has learned she should be a God-fearing person so His glory can be seen in all she is doing.
