Being a vibrant mission is not just about caring for the homeless in our city, it's about serving our friends who support our ministry. One of the ways we do this is by sharing the wonderful things that are happening in our shelters to encourage and prepare our clients for re-entering society, with obtainable goals for self-sufficiency.
As you read the blogs written by our staff and guest bloggers, your heart will be touched by the stories about life in the shelters and the experiences of the men, women and children living in them. You will find ways to connect that meet your charitable ideals and many opportunities to deepen your involvement with Star of Hope Mission.
My name is Dick Druary. I am the Director of the Men's Development Center (euphemistically known as the "Men's Shelter") for Star of Hope. I am an ordained Presbyterian pastor and have served churches in Houston, TX, Orange, TX, Montgomery, AL, and Hollywood, CA. I am delighted to be helping shepherd in and through Star of Hope what is arguably the most diverse and dynamic flock imaginable. In our shelter, the Son of God displays His great and lavish love for our men as He daily meets them at their various points of impossibility and proves Himself to be both on their side and able.
As always we give thanks for everything that the day brings to the true living King and to His full glory that we fed 2,047 additional guests who came out to help serve and support! A good friend once showed me in Ezekial, that the Lord said if we would seek the welfare of the city that we too would share in the benefit as well. And so we give thanks to the Lord of all things that he has continued to bless this dinner of which our family has been a part of serving since Hana was born in 1990 ! Thanking Him formall the great mercy and joy that Father is Bringing to the shelter today and forever!
