During our orphanage's recent achievement awards celebration we were thankful to be able to recognize the older students at Rainbow who have graduated from Standard 8 (equiv. to 8th grade) and are now beginning (or already attending) secondary school. These 12 students are very dear to us and we at Rainbow are so very proud of them all.
We are thankful for the generous donation of bibles that Mrs. Paula Scianna donated through Ella's Light Children's Ministry. Ella's Light is dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to children all over the world. We're thankful that they have chosen our beautiful Rainbow children as recipients of these bibles.
As the bibles are in English, we felt they would best suit the older children of Rainbow who have more proficiently mastered their second language. These beautiful bibles are an award for hard work and perseverance and a prayer that the children will go forward and spread the Gospel to all they encounter. Thank you to Mrs. Scianna and Ella's Light Children's Ministry for this wonderful gift!
