The New Dawn Communities Executive Director, Ron Sukut will be going to Uganda and Tanzania for three weeks beginning April 1st.  He will be joined by one of the assistant pastors from Cornerstone Community Church in San Clemente, Winston Wardwell, who directs in the Joshua House discipleship program.

The purpose of this visit is to meet with pastors, missionaries, and New Dawn staff members for renewed relationships. There will be a mixture of training and planning thrown in as well.

A current (and new) development in our mission network is with a church in Sandpoint Idaho – Parkside Church. Ron and Diane have been attending this community church while staying in their home there during the summer and fall months. One of the unique aspects of this church is their emphasis on missions. Parkside Church has had a long-time relationship with missionaries in Uganda and Tanzania, and while having our New Dawn High Schools in Kenya and Tanzania, it seems to be a good match.

In April Parkside is taking a missions team from their church to partner with their current missionaries, and Ron will be joining up with them during the trip. He is planning to travel to Uganda on April 1st, a few days before the Parkside team arrives, in order to meet with a group of pastors for a leaders’ conference.

Ron has made a few previous trips to the area to connect with this group. As a result, they started Primary (Elementary) School, with hopes that New Dawn Communities will establish our next school in their region.

We ask that you would pray with us for God’s will to be done in this regard.

Afterwards, Ron will be going to meet the Parkside Team at the Entebbe Airport upon their arrival, Friday, April 5th. Then Ron and the team will drive from Entebbe along the coast of Lake Victoria, south to Geita, which is near the larger city of Mwanza.

The team is planning to serve, train and evangelize for a week with the local missionaries.

After the team heads back to the US, Ron will travel over to our New Dawn Community in Same, Tanzania for some much-anticipated time together with students and staff. As always, there will likely be a banquet with the Ishinda Village Elders and a few representatives from the local County Commissioner’s office.

Ron hopes to meet up with a few of our alumni and see how things are going since their graduation from New Dawn. He may have some good photos and stories to tell us upon his return, stay tuned . . .

We ask that you prayerfully consider giving a monthly donation of $125.00 to sponsor a new Tanzania student. This monthly amount completely covers all the costs to provide a safe place to live, learn and worship as a New Dawn Community student.

Below is a summary report from our New Dawn Secondary School in Tanzania. The article was writter by Nance Daniel, a journalism class reporter.

“In every new year there are always new things. In this year we are happy that we have received new form one students who are coming from different parts of Tanzania.

Early on January this year, New Dawn Secondary School received the new form one (freshman) students who are coming from various regions of Tanzania. We have received thirty-six (36) form one students. The new form one students have started to enter in the class and they have completed the orientation course.

The new form one students are happy to join New Dawn Secondary School because they were warmly welcomed with the other students, workers and teachers. The students have already received their uniforms, shamba dresses, exercise books and the other basic requirements. They are also thankful and happy to get the new family members at New Dawn Secondary School. As the community, we thank God that we have received our new family members and it is our prayer that they will be a blessing in our community and the World at large.

New Dawn Secondary School Incoming Freshmen

The incoming students have an opportunity for a complete
change of course in life.

Your Generous Donation will make all the difference in their success. Would you consider a monthly or a one-time donation going towards the sponsorship of one or more of the new students?
