Following Jesus in Zimbabwe
Meet Sariah!
How Sariah Follows Jesus
Sariah has some health problems. She takes medicine to help her. She is grateful for her life. “The Savior helps me, so there is no need to worry,” she says.
“When my mother is tired, she needs someone to play with my baby sister,” says Sariah. She helps by singing to her, carrying her, and playing with her.
Sariah is the first one to notice when her mom is sad, and she always gives her a big hug. “Helping people makes me happy,” she says. “Especially helping my family.”
