Located in the town of Belovodsk with a population of 21,000, this is the oldest Christian school and it was founded in 1995 by the mission named “the Light of Hope.” Roy Denten and Wesley Hughes were the founders of the school. In 2003, the school was entrusted to Mercy Foundation.
SPIRITUAL IMPACT
We see that the lessons of moral education have a positive impact on students, they aren't just familiar with Bible stories but are gradually starting to implement ideas and Bible principles into their lives. Analyzing the answers of students from final Bible lessons, we see that they learned to be thankful and kind towards people around them.
The other thing we are happy about is that the strict border between Muslims and Christians is being erased. During online study mode, we organized an online pictures contest for students of an elementary and middle school dedicated to Easter. The students from Muslim families participated in a contest too and said some warm words of congratulations. This is a result of God’s work and our little victory. We are happy to be a part of God’s plan. We also organized an online contest on the popular social-media platform – Tik Tok with the students of middle school. The students shoot a video called, “What do you know about Jesus Christ”. Through these activities students are immersed in exploring God and share their knowledge with many other children.
