Overview
Biography
Jeremiah is a friendly young man whose story began with tragedy and loss. His mother passed away due to complications during childbirth, leaving Jeremiah to enter life without her warmth and care. The joy of his birth was overshadowed by this profound loss, and the future was uncertain. Sadly, ten years after his mother died, Jeremiah’s father died in a road accident. With both parents gone, Jeremiah was left utterly alone, with no immediate family to care for him. His extended family divided all the inheritance he would have gotten and left him in the hands of well-wishers. Since then, he has survived on the kindness of teachers and these well-wishers. He has never lost his faith in God when in High School, he ministered hope and encouragement to other students despite what he was going through.
Jeremiah has currently finished high school. As he waits to join campus, he is staying at our mission base where at least he has people around him and a place he can call home. We believe he will do well and by the grace of God, will become a man of value and honor who gives back to the community, ensuring others do not go through what he has.
