We Are Family

From Alan Cooke, Executive Director of Daystar U.S.
You are a vital part of the Daystar legacy. I love to hear the multitude of stories of how each of you joined the Daystar family. I joined 25 years ago. Some of you are new to Daystar and some have been part of the family even longer than me!
There is family in Kenya and family in the U.S. There are also different generations. Dr. Donald and Faye Smith who started Daystar Communications, which later became Daystar University, were the first generation of Daystar leaders. The next generation included leaders such as Dr. Stephen Talitwala. Other generations have followed – all with the same idea and vision – Christian servant leadership for Africa’s future.
During my June visit to Kenya I was able to meet with both Dr. Smith and Dr. Talitwala.
We have been through a difficult time with Covid, but it has been much more difficult in Kenya (as President Laban mentions above). Romans 15:5 says, “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other...” Please know you are a great encouragement!
