TADALA KINGSTONE
The beautiful Tadala!
We are pleased to introduce our student of the week Tadala Kingstone. What a beautiful name! Tadala lives Maijga in Balaka. She is the second born daughter in a family of four children. The first born child died when she was very young. Tadala loves her family very much for their care and provision for her. She also enjoys going to the Apostolic church with her grandfather each week. Unfortunately, Tadala has had to earn money on the streets for seven years now and was unable to continue her education after the third grade. Despite her circumstances, because she is such a hard worker, we are confident that she will succeed!

If you could have a superpower for only one day, what would it be?

Lord, today we are so thankful for Tadala’s beautiful, bright smile. We admire her desire to obey you and her parents. We also admire her fun and silly spirit. We know she must bring so much joy to those around her. God, we ask that you would meet every need that she has whether it be spiritually, financially, or educationally. She has a bright future because of who you are. Let her know that is loved and cared for. Let her know that her dreams are important to you and you long to fill the desires of her heart.
As I look at Tadala, I am reminded that, “A cheerful heart is good medicine.” “The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.” Zephaniah 3:17
