New Dawn Community USA Board of Directors member, Mark Luce reports that New Dawn Communities (NDC) Kenya has new leadership. The new Kenya Board Of Directors includes School Alumni that have returned to “Give Back” to the new generation of students.

In March NDC Kenya was invited, along with 10 other schools, to the “Weekend Challenge” by the host school Kenya Students Christian Fellowship.

The weekend challenge was designed around the theme “Walking in Obedience“

Under this theme the following topics were discussed:

1. 1. Transformative Leadership
   2. Sexual Purity
   3. Salvation
   4. Drugs and substance Abuse
   5. Academic Excellence and Career Development
   6. Youth and Social Media
   7. Discipline and Evangelism

The presence of the Holy Spirt was experienced during the entire weekend with several achievements and miracles being witnessed by the attendees.

1. 1. Rededication of the Host Schools Prayer Garden to GOD
   2. Salvation for over 100 attendees – 60 from the host school and 40 other attendees dedicated their lives to God, accepted Jesus as their savior, and were “Born Again”.
   3. Deliverance! 50 New Dawn Kenya students were delivered from bondage. 100 students from the other 10 schools joined the NDC students during the Sunday Rally.
   4. Discipleship – A new class was started by the new converts that received the Lord during the weekend to help them grow spiritually.
   5. Boosting the morale of the students during the weekend with one-on- one counseling for students who have lost hope. They had low esteem and were performing poorly at their schools. The students left motivated and refocused on achieving their dreams.

Challenges were met and discussed. The Local School Administration Team focused on calling every student to Jesus Christ.

The Weekend Challenge ended very powerfully with the presence of God so real. Both the missionaries and students lives were transformed. Glory to God!

A member of our journalism club has submitted a report in order to inform our donors about the ongoing events and milestones happening at the New Dawn Tanzania campus. We leave the article completely unedited as written by the student reporter.

Summary:
“Being among the best choirs in Kilimanjaro region, New Dawn secondary school choir has made another history by singing in the big government event of launching of the Same- Mwanga- Korogwe water project which was officially launched by the Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan.”

On March 9, 2025 it was another marvellous day for our school’s choir. Our choir was invited to perform in the launching of the big water project called Same- Mwanga- Korogwe Project. The launching event was attended by our president Honourable Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan who officially launched the project. There were also other government ministers, Regional commissioners and other leaders.

The Same-Mwanga- Korogwe project will provide approximately 51.65 million liters of water to people across the three districts of Same, Mwanga and Korogwe by ensuring better access to clean water.
         
As the community we are so much excited and we thank God to see our choir developing. We can remember last year, we were invited to sing in the World Tree Planting Day whereby the guest of honour was the vice President of Tanzania, Dr. Phillip Mpango.

We thank our God so much for the favour he gave us.

In a recent video call with NDC USA Director Ron Sukut, Bishop Dr. Steven Mshomi, director of New Dawn Community in Tanzania, shared his praise for God’s favor that continues to cover the school, students, teachers and staff.

NDC Tanzania has been recognized and included with other private schools as well as State Government schools in the district to meet regionally. They have received academic and sports honors.

• The Youth have Aced their Midterms:  The Mid-Year exams taken by the 38 Form 4 students (seniors) are complete with 75% of the students receiving an A grade.
   
• The Government is ‘Recognizing’ our Nationally Ranked Instructors: Two teachers that have continued to show superior results at NDC Tanzania with their students. They have now been recruited to become State teachers for the Tanzania Government. This is due to their high standards in Math and Agriculture. While they will be missed by NDC this is a blessing for the county of Tanzania.
  
  
• Our Choir Won at the Regional Competitions: The student choir has been recognized as the top school choir in the region and continues to receive invitations to perform for both local and national events.
  
  
• Our Sports Teams are strong as well: The Soccer and Basketball teams are also top ranked in the region with strong performances. 

We would like to thank you, the Donors, for your continued spiritual and financial support. This is proof that your participation matters. Because of you, there have been many blessings showered on the orphan students, teachers and staff that work so hard, with what they have, to fulfill GOD’S  will in Tanzania!
