Promise Banquet
The purpose of the Promise Banquet is to raise funds for tuition assistance and other programs while informing the community about the outstanding Christian education at True Light Christian School. For several years we have enjoyed a delicious meal, provided a glimpse of what the school has to offer, and concluded the evening with a guest speaker. Reservations are required through the school office.

Rachel-Ruth Wright
Born in Raleigh, NC, Rachel-Ruth is daughter of Anne Graham Lotz and granddaughter of Billy Graham. Following graduation from Baylor University, she married Steven Wright, a high school football coach, and has three daughters: Bell, Sophia, and Riggin.
Rachel-Ruth serves on the Board for AnGeL Ministries, chairs the weekly prayer team for her mother’s ministry, and teaches a weekly women’s Bible study at the University of North Carolina. She has shared God’s Word at numerous events countrywide.
Her passion for leading children to Jesus and into God’s Word has compelled her to lead monthly missions’ chapels at her children’s school; to teach middle school children at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Coaches Camp; and helped to inspire her mother’s first children’s book, Heaven: God’s Promise for Me.
Rachel-Ruth feels called to pass the baton of Truth to the next generation, and to help others pass it also.
