At the beginning of June our staff welcomed 21, 11th and 12th graders to Hopetown, officially kicking off our long anticipated summer. We have already begun to see God move in amazing ways as new relationships are forming and we’re settling into life on Kentucky Lake. As we transition out of the most unique school year of children’s lives, our summer retreats at Hopetown and day camps in Nashville are seeking to help kids practice holy play and find peace in the everyday. One of our dear friends captured so well what Daystar aims to do in her words…
“I’m coming out of my Instagram sabbatical to give the biggest shout out to Daystar Ministries! If ever I wonder if hope is real and possible, I just have to walk through the doors of their sacred yellow house!! They turn families lives around for the good! They prove that the joy does return in the morning no matter how dark the night! Miracles happen in their care! If your family has come on hard times or you or your child could really use a listening ear, a word of encouragement, help to make a new way where you feel there is no way, please reach out to them!”
This is exactly what we are hoping to do in the lives of families and all the kids that are in our care this summer. Remind them that joy does return in the morning, no matter how dark the night has been.
Creating space like this for kids truly would not be possible without your generosity and support. Thank you for giving to Daystar and championing care for children and families in every season. We hope and pray that you too can be reminded of the truth that no matter how dark your pandemic year has been, joy returns in the morning thanks to our faithful and loving God.
