My Name is
Abenezer
Abenezer
Abenezer was just fifteen days old when his teenage mother gave him over to his grandmother. His grandmother did not have a job or the means to care for him, and she asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Abenezer arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2009. He loves going to school, and he especially enjoys playing with musical instruments. Abenezer loves God and His people. He is obedient and humble. He is growing in his understanding of God's Word, and he enjoys singing hymns during family devotions. Abenezer's favorite hymn is "I Need Thee Every Hour" because it reminds him that God is holy.
