My Name is
James
James
James’ mother died shortly after giving birth to him and his twin brother, Joseph. Their father died in 2007. After his death, the children lived with their aunt. The aunt had seven children of her own. Though she tried, she struggled to provide for the children's needs and asked for help. Joseph, his twin brother, and their sister arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2008. James is respectful, industrious, and growing in maturity. He believes Jesus is the Son of God, his Savior, his Provider, and his Healer. He also believes God has saved him and that he is a child of God.
