This means that effective 30 April 2024, the Eternity News […]

Like most great ideas, it began as a thought bubble, which grew into an unformed concept, which shaped up to a magnificent dream and erupted into a reality that is now into its fifth year. Today, Bibles For Bubs opens for registration for babies born in 2021. And throughout this year, the program will also […]

We live in a world obsessed with merit and achievement.
