David has been part of the MOHI community since he was a young child. Those who know him describe him as a student with perseverance, a growing love for school, and a desire to move forward despite the painful challenges he has experienced.

During his childhood, David walked through deep family loss and instability. As he tried to process grief and adjust to changing circumstances, he began missing school and became disconnected from the support he needed. Concerned for his safety and well-being, MOHI social workers, the school chaplain, teachers, and local partners worked together to find him, listen to him, and help him begin rebuilding trust.

David shared that he felt unloved, uncared for, and unsure of his purpose. Through counseling, prayer, and steady encouragement, he began to hear a different message: that his life has value and that he was not alone. Staff continued walking alongside him as he considered returning to school.

After another painful loss in his family, MOHI staff looked for a setting where David could receive more consistent care and support. He was transferred to a MOHI boarding school, where he found greater stability, became involved in school life, and began to thrive. Basketball became one of his favorite activities, and he continued growing academically and spiritually.

Over time, David has shown a consistent love for school. He has continued into secondary education and is doing well. He is growing in confidence, responsibility, and determination. We thank God for the ways David has been strengthened through ongoing care, trusted relationships, and opportunities to keep learning and growing.

A different name has been used to honor privacy.

• Thank God with us for His protection throughout the term, and pray that He will continue to watch over the school community.
• Pray for students who attended Angaza Discovery Camp, that they will continue seeking spiritual growth through prayer, devotions, Bible study, and Christian community.
