Stories of Transformation. The Life Changing Opportunity of a Daystar Scholarship.

Thankful: A Security Guard Recieves the Gift of a Daystar Education

Meet Gladys: From Poverty to Hard Work to Scholarship to Servant Leader

Gladys graduated in July with honors as a Daystar scholarship student.  She is grateful to God for the generosity that made her education possible.

Gladys shares her story, “I was raised in a humble background of a family of seven by a single mother after I lost my father in the year 2000. Due to poverty I left home in search of a job to support my siblings in their education and provide for our basic needs. I worked up to the year 2009 trusting God that I would still further my education someday. My dream of going back to school had not been diminished even after spending nine years out of school!

I was then hired as a security guard at Daystar University. Since I had a passion to continue with my studies, I applied for a degree program at Daystar by faith. I was admitted to Daystar in the year 2015. I worked during the night, and during the day went to class. In spite of financial challenges, I never relented. I was struggling to make ends meet and I missed some exams due to lack of school fees. In 2016, I was awarded a Daystar scholarship. With your help I have been able to be in school and do my exams. I have completed my classes without any financial difficulty.

At Daystar, by the grace of God, I was appointed to serve in Daystar Missions Team under Daystar Christian Fellowship (DCF) for two terms which contributed to my spiritual growth. Through my security courses, I was employed under contract to work as the assistant security coordinator at Daystar University, which exposed me to gain experience in my field. My stay at Daystar made me grow both spiritually and professionally.

Through my education, I pledge to help the needy, especially girls who are struggling with life issues by starting an orphanage. Daystar University has been a blessing to me and a tool for God to fulfill His purpose in my life. I can testify that God has shown me His mighty ways through Daystar University.
