Overview
Biography
Japheth is a handsome and friendly young man. He is the last born of five children who stay with their widowed mother. Sadly most of Japheth’s siblings are not saved but are living a sinful lifestyle and dragging the family down. Japheth however, like his mother has given his life to the Lord and wants to live for Him. He plays the piano at church and is involved with the youth there. Because there is no work in the village and she does not have the support of the other children, Japheth’s mom has not been able to take him to a quality school. Japheth is a very bright student and we believe given the opportunity, he can overcome the challenges he faces, becoming a man of God in his generation. Would you stand with him?
