as a shepherd. Therefore, I knew that by day a shepherd has all the light he needs but at night he relies on the light of the stars. So the shepherd and his flock are really never in the dark and appear to be coming out of darkness.” Thus, Daystar’s role was to shepherd men and women both by day and by night. Its purpose was to transform (wo)men from the inside out, to ensure their hearts were right with God, and their intellect was well tuned and equipped to serve society. From 1966, Don and Pheko worked together to build Daystar Publications in Zambia and Zimbabwe (then Northern and Southern Rhodesia). However, due to restrictive government policies the environment was not conducive for them to work. In that year, Don and Faye went back to America to study. They returned in 1969, and in November of that year Don launched Daystar Communications, a research and training ministry that responded to African ministry needs. Daystar Publications thus became known as Daystar Communications. Part of Daystar Communications’ role was to train and it held two initial trainings, the first in 1971 at Ranche House College in Harare, Zimbabwe (then Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia), and the second in June 1972 at the Brakenhurst Baptist Conference Centre in Limuru, Kenya.

They had just received a special gift of US$100,000 from Kenneth Taylor, the founder of Living Bibles International. In Nairobi, they found that Shell Oil was selling its property, which was right next to Nairobi Baptist Church. They decided to buy the two-storey stone house, which had with 10 bedrooms above and a three-room flat below. Behind the house there was a lecture room with an office attached. This modest property became the Daystar Communications campus. And on July 7, 1973, Daystar Communications was incorporated as a limited company in Kenya. Between 1974 and 1978 the Smiths commenced training programmes in Nairobi, completed several major research and consultation projects, launched a two-year communications diploma at the Associate’s Art level, and formed the Afro-Asia Board to run Daystar Communications. Exactly one-and-a-half years after the constitution of the Afro-Asian Board, on January 4, 1978, the directors held a meeting and resolved to develop undergraduate and graduate programmes, and launch a graduate seminary. This would be in addition to the undergraduate, diploma programme that
