July 2020 Thank You

“God, I anticipate that this day will leave me longing for more time. I’ll try to savor it and grasp this feeling of warmth for as long as I can, but there’s only enough. Please allow me and those around me to be filled with love enough and emotion enough to last for a lifetime. Thank you for this place. Thank you for letting me walk in here and be welcomed, fully. And for allowing me to feel you through those around me in worship, laughter and love.”

One of our high school girls wrote this journal entry as a prayer during her session at Hopetown. It feels like all of our prayer in these days…longing for more time, more community, more shared hope. More worship. Laughter. Love.

Thank you for helping us to provide this, even socially distanced for kids at Hopetown and in the Daystar house this summer. Our hope and prayer is that each child—each family that walks through our doors in Nashville or Kentucky will feel welcomed, fully. We certainly couldn’t do that without you. Thank you for praying. We’re sure praying for you, too. And grateful to be in community and shared hope with you.
