JANUARY NEWS UPDATE 2026
The beginning of the year always brings new things and we meet new people. The Tailoring class is on and we have 14 students. This is their 3rd week in class. Patty is teaching together with Rebecca, one of our staff members.
We have 39 girls in the hostel. We have a seen a lot of spiritual growth in many of the girls as they share on what God has been doing in their lives since staying in the hostel.
Daystar Farm
We Planted 23 acres of maize, 5 acres of soya beans, and 1 and a half acres of sweet potatoes. We now have 27 goats.
The Discipleship and Feeding Program had a Christmas party for the children on the 20th. The children participated in Bible Quiz, with some prizes given to those who answered questions correctly. They also shared memory verses. Some of the children memorized 15 verses in the course of the year.

We saw an increase in people coming to eat at the Restaurant in December and January. We are very grateful to hear the customers complement the chef because of the good food.
