Rachi is pursuing this worthy-while ministry in his retirement and is drawing on his experience acquired from a long and fruitful career. The VFBF Inc. is the brain-child of Rachi Ngaine and family. The Ngaines’ have resided in the State of Maryland, USA for 50 years. Rachi believes he was moved by the work of the Holy Spirit of God and stimulated by his walk-of-faith in Christ since childhood (age 12). Ideally, he was appetized by service as a former Deacon and a retired Ruling Elder (RE) in an Evangelical PCA Church in America within the State of Maryland USA for over 35 years. He is attuned by service as Chaplain, Secretary & Treasurer with Gideon International Ministry for over 20 years. Realizing the Almighty God has a purpose and a plan for every call that He makes, Rachi could not resist God’s divine calling---“Those God foreknew he also called, and predestined” (Rom.8:29-30). Thus, the notion of VFBF sounded noble and a vessel that God intends to use in reaching out to the poor the lonely, the lost, and destitute in remote villages and townships.
