In the year of uncertainties and despair, such successful and inspiring stories of our students make us proud! We at Bethany believe that our Lord works through us by touching the lives of deserving students. And we are privileged and grateful to be the medium of His work. Bethany High had named 2020 as the year of Breaking Barriers! This turned out to be intuitive as we all as a school, nation and the human-race together broke many barriers to overcome the pandemic!! On this back-drop, our dear Joel Kirivasan story is another barrier broken! And in style!!!
Here’s what Joel’s father wrote to us…
“Dear and respected Sir,
Greetings in Christ’s wonderful name.
In the year 2013, we approached you for our son Joel Kirivasan 11th admission. You have given him admission and in addition to that, you have given him a free education. He worked hard and passed with good marks.
Then, by the grace of God, he was able to get a medical seat in CMC Vellore.
Now, he has completed his MBBS course. He wants to serve the Lord through medical service.
On this occasion, we remember you and your kind act of giving him free education. We are indebted to your favour and to the institution for giving him an excellent education.
We pray that may the Lord continue to bless you and Bethany High School.”
