Kingstar School and their needs!

Kingstar school was started by the selfless faith of a christian couple in Dar Es Salaam Tanzania. "Their dream was was o develop an educational program which strives to achieve and maintain high academic standards anchored on God's word of truth in an atmosphere of love." After spending 3 weeks in the school I can say, I believe they are well on the way to reaching the tops of this dream. But they need some help, and I believe this is why God called me to go to visit them this summer, and see what they are doing to help and teach these students.
Right now there are 66 students who are attending this school, and 6 of them are not being sponsored. They are not paying for their education,and as of right now that is okay, but in the future as the school continues to grow, the needs get bigger, they may not be able to keep the free education and will be asked to leave the school. These 6 students all come from families who can not afford to pay for school. They are also in need of new play toys. With 66 students a few tires, 3 swings, and 2 bikes is just not enough! Also, they are in need of some office and school supplies. Supplies that they just cant find in Tanzania, but are very important to the progress and success of this school.
66 students share this space to play. 




This is one of their bikes that they share

As you can see they have gotten every use out of it, and has worn thorough the tires. 




These are just a few pictures to show what they have. The kids are happy, and enjoy playing.. But I believe we can make it better for them, and be able to give them even more fun while they are at school! 

Also their biggest need right now is to finish the primary school! 
This is where they will move the pre-unit and standard classes

They are needing doors

And windows 

That is all they need to purchase before they can open the school. The school is needing to be opened as soon as possible because they are running out of room in the day school to hold all of the students! 

This is one of the class rooms, and where the students will be doing their studies! 

The faith i have seen in the owner and teachers is amazing. They trust and believe that God will provide all of their needs. I also have that faith and believe that in Gods timing he will provide! 
I also believe that we will provide for my dreams and plans as i look forward to helping them reach their goals at kingstar school. I love that school and i look forward to working with them again, through out the year! 

If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask me! 
Thank you so much for your love, support and prayers! 


Gods Mighty Plan

Glory be to God! 
The last four weeks of my life, have been nothing but amazing! My time here in Africa has been a time of blessings, spiritual growth, and Gods work! 
The first few days were very rough, adjusting to my new home and the culture that came with it was not easy. It was a battle, but my God provided the strength I needed to get through it. I began to adjust and honestly fall in love with my new life. Things were going great at the school, every moment with those kids were a blessing. I meeting new friends, and building relationships that will never be broken.
BUT my God has a perfect plan.. 10 days into my trip I got the desire to cut my trip short and go home early. I realized that while my presence and time here was great and such a gift for the people there. I realized that what this school really needed... I could not give them while In Africa. The school is in need of many things, I will be doing another blog discussing the needs that they need!
At first I feared that it was an idea brought on by my selfish wants to be home. But after hearing so rough news from home about my Grandfather... I knew it was all apart of Gods plan. 

God does things sometimes that we really don't understand.. and this is one of them! 

From the moment i got home early, God has been working on this big plan and idea! I am so excited to share with you in the future! But first i want to tell you all about this years trip! So continue to check back day, as i recap my trip!! :)
