Money and flashy lifestyles have taken front stage and those who insist on the old and time tested values of the bible and christianity are being challenged.
This is the world in which educators have to navigate to raise tomorrow’s leaders to have the right values of hardwork, faith, empathy. It is therefore heart warming when we are able by the help of God to raise children through the help of God and send them out prepared and established on Jesus Christ the solid rock.
