(Contributed Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Members of the religious group Samaritan\u2019s Purse International visited the Green Meadow School twice to share material and spiritual blessings with students and teachers alike.<\/p>\n<p>On their first visit, the missionaries introduced their group by sharing the biblical story about the Good Samaritan and mingled with the students from kindergarten to middle school. The Samaritan\u2019s Purse International gave away personal kits to each student.<\/p>\n<p>Last Dec. 4, 2018, another group from Samaritan\u2019s Purse returned to GMS, this time to distribute Bibles and solar lights. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou could see the glow in the students\u2019 eyes as each were receiving their own Bible,\u201d the school said in a statement. \u201cAs a Christian school, this was a great blessing for the students. On that day, during the afterschool care, most of the students, especially the primary and intermediate students, preferred to read their new Bibles over playing with other games. They were fascinated by the colorful pictures that came with the Bible.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>GMS expressed thanks to Samaritan\u2019s Purse International for its generosity and empathy, not only for GMS but for all other schools on the island. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the religious group Samaritan\u2019s Purse International visited the Green Meadow School twice to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":291155,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[206],"class_list":["post-291154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-green-meadow-school"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291154\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
