Do you have dreams that seem impossible?

Rica Mangahas had a simple wish: for her parents to see her graduate from college. But when her father passed away, this dream seemed out of reach. She wondered if she would ever make it to college.

Her mother, Amie, who sold meat at the market, barely earned enough to get by. Despite these hardships, Rica held onto her faith, believing that God would provide.

She applied for various scholarships and passed the exams, but it still wasn’t enough.

Like Rica, have you ever worked hard for something, only to see it slip away?

Despite the setbacks, Rica’s faith remained strong. In a miraculous turn of events, Rica became a scholar of Operation Blessing’s Back-to-School program. For four years, Operation Blessing supported her financially, allowing her to continue her studies.

With God’s grace and her determination, Rica graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, majoring in Mathematics.

In May 2024, she took and passed her licensure exam, a testament to her hard work, unwavering faith, and God’s goodness.

“All of these victories I give glory to God. Through Operation Blessing, God proved that He’s the one who sustained my needs,” Rica shared.
