Announcing the arrival of Elijah Rayru Divyanathan!


With praise and thanksgiving to our Lord the God, we would like to share with you the wonderful news that Elijah Rayru Divyanathan was born at 10.53am this morning (4 weeks early) at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney!
Elijah is doing well after having some initial breathing difficulties and his very beautiful and brave mum is also doing splendidly. For those who like numbers, Elijah was 2.725kg and 47cm long. He's got a full head of hair, very long fingers, toes and feet and looks remarkably like his big brother Ethan when he was born!
As you might know, Elijah (which means "the Lord is my God") was a great prophet in the Old Testament. As the biblical Elijah was a little bit of a fire-starter, our prayer is that our little Elijah will be a 'fire-starter' of his own as he grows up and proclaims to one and all that there is no other name under heaven by which mankind can be saved except that of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Rayru is the name of Elijah's great great grandfather (ie. Denesh's great grandfather).
