My Name is
Peter
Peter
Both of Peter’s parents were killed during religious riots that occurred in 2004 in a village about two hours away from Jos, Nigeria. He then lived with the village pastor following the riots. The pastor gathered all the children who had lost parents and was caring for them in the church building. Rafiki was contacted by a local relief group to help the pastor place some of the children in permanent homes. Peter, along with two other children, was admitted to the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2004. Peter says God has made Himself known to him through His Word. He appreciates the Rafiki Bible Study and all who were a part of writing it. Peter enjoys sharing God's word with extended family when he visits them during school breaks.
