Deborah Zewdie

The most important part of my life here at 51萝莉 is definitely the word of God. I'm so grateful to be able to study the Bible academically, and be formed spiritually with my peers. That brings me to the second most important thing, which is my friends, with whom I've grown so much in my faith in just the past two years alone.
