“Daisy’s Story”
"To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory."
Isaiah 61:3 (NLT)
Daisy graduated with a degree in Communication from Daystar.
When Sheila and I were in Kenya last June we had the opportunity to spend some time with a student who was about to graduate. Daisy had endured the tragic loss of her husband, as well as other personal tragedies, as she continued to parent her 11-year-old son.
She shared, "I could write a book on how God has seen me through life and I believe I am still going far until I complete my purpose in life. If it were not for Him I would not be here today. It is indeed sweet to trust in Jesus. He has been supporting and giving me strength that I personally cannot understand. He has used people in different ways to support me and see me through this life. In my story, it has always been God."
Sheila and I met with Daisy in June.
Daisy expresses her thanks now as a Daystar graduate, "I am in disbelief, I cannot express how good and kind you are. I am going to graduate because of your kindness and gracious support. I am emotional right now as I type this part, good emotions though. How kind people like you still exist is beyond my understanding. From paying my tuition fee to monthly allowance, it is not even right for me to say thank you. I wish I could do more than just saying thanks. You have no idea how hopeful you have made me, how optimistic I am and how much I am willing to push and be able to forward the kindness someday to others. May the almighty God bless you always! May your cup overflow with goodness! Thank you from the bottom of my heart and be blessed always."
Below, you can read more about Daisy's life, as well as listening to her via video. There are actually two videos, one at the top of that page from this June and the other (at the bottom of the page), which is from three years ago.
Thank you for your support and prayers. We cannot do this without your help!
Blessings,
Alan

I hope you are encouraged by Daisy's journey at Daystar over the past 5 years, as she just graduated a few weeks ago. Will you please consider making a special end-of-year gift so that many more students like Daisy can be helped?
