Looking at Daystar Ministries


Hope For Nashville is the local missions arm of WECC's missions ministry. We partner with 11 ministries throughout the city that bring hope to Nashville in varying ways. This month we are going to turn our attention to Daystar Counseling Ministries.

The mission of Daystar is to offer hope to children, adolescents, and families in need. This includes individual and group counseling, parenting seminars, and a summer camp. And they do it on a sliding scale, so they really depend on the support of churches and individuals to continue to be a place of refuge and hope.

Each year Daystar hosts an annual fundraiser called the "Bike Thing". Come out and join other West Ender's on Nov 1st as we ride 20 or 40 mile course along the Natchez Trace! This is a great opportunity to have fun, support a great ministry, and get a little exercise in. Go to http://www.daystarcounselingministries.org/ for more information!

The events include a 5K run/walk, inflatables, a rock wall, face painting, games, food, entertainers, all out at Percy Warner Park on October 18th from 9-noon. It should be a great day of fun and fellowship and celebrating a great ministry. If you are interested in learning more, go to www.hopeclinicforwomen.org.
