Comfort for the Broken

Comfort is the youngest of nine children. After the untimely loss of their parents, the responsibility of caring for the siblings fell to their extended family. With more mouths to feed and limited resources, the financial strain soon became overwhelming, making it impossible to meet the children's needs. The family turned to social welfare, which recommended reaching out to Rafiki. Young Comfort arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2004.

At Rafiki, Comfort was embraced by her new Rafiki family and embarked on a new chapter of her life. Each day began with cottage devotions, a time of reflection and spiritual growth. It was during these quiet moments, combined with her daily Bible studies at school, that Comfort's love for Jesus blossomed. She fervently prayed for the ability to love others as he loves her.

Comfort graduated from the Rafiki School in 2019 and continued her education at university, earning a diploma in nursing. Soon after, she returned to the Rafiki Village and began serving as the school nurse. In this new role, Comfort not only cares for the physical well-being of the current students and graduates, but she also attends to the needs of a special education resident, supporting the young woman’s growth and development.

With the skills and passion God granted Comfort, she believes God has called her to a life in missions. With her nursing abilities and deep love for the people she serves, she strives to be a picture of Christ’s love and compassion, telling others of her Savior's healing power while healing physical ailments.
