Join Us for Daystar Day of Prayer
May 26th, 2021
"Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him, and he will act."
Psalm 37:5 (NIV)
A new semester has begun at Daystar University! It is an exciting time with new students being welcomed at Daystar in person. These students bring such hope for the future! Many of the students are on campus while many are still required to take classes online. The Covid numbers keep going down in Kenya. Hopefully the country will be reopened soon!
At the beginning of each semester, Daystar sets aside a day for prayer and fasting.
Tomorrow (May 27th), all classes and campus activities will be temporarily cancelled so the community can commit the semester to the Lord, trusting in Him and His direction and provision. This reminds us of how much we need our Heavenly Father’s provision and direction.
Will you please consider joining us in prayer tomorrow? We would love for you to be the body of Christ in lifting Daystar up to God, who we know answers the prayer of His people. Please watch the video invitation to pray for Daystar from the Assistant Chaplain, Rachel Ngugi (Click here) or click on the photo below. This page will also give you some other prayer points and you can also watch the online event at this link.
Please let us know how we can be praying for you as well. You are such an important part of our family!
Thank you for standing with Daystar in prayer!
Blessings,
