Having not been involved in a program like this before, it was unsure how it would be received by the students and wider community. Over the past 4–5 weeks it has been incredibly satisfying to see that a large number of our students (and teachers) took this challenge seriously. So far our total amount of money raised is $3,100 – that is 442 Bibles that can be purchased. As Covenant has a connection with Mission in China through Mrs Margaret Rockwell (former Science and ESL teacher), who is currently serving there as a missionary, we thought that we would nominate for our money to go to the Christians there.
It is very encouraging to know that we as a community see something like this as worthwhile and even more satisfying knowing that, as a result of our students, staff and community, we are enriching the lives of Christians in different parts of the world!
