A Word From The Candlemaker

Hello!
I wanted to take a moment and thank you for helping in making a difference in the lives of God’s children. The Dayspring mission touches my heart in a personal manner as I am a child of adoption. I was blessed to have been adopted by a loving family at the age of 3 weeks. The children of Dayspring are looking at different circumstances all together. Being older, they are all too aware of what is occurring…losing the security of their familiar lives for multitudes of reasons. Our hopes and prayers are that through the Dayspring Family Life Resource Center, these children will have their sense of hope and security restored by the love of Christ.
Starwick Candles emerged four years ago with two friends making candles for Christmas gifts that evolved into dreaming of having our own business. Little did we know that with the Lord’s leading, doors would be opened to this awesome opportunity to help support Dayspring. It wasn’t by chance that this kindled a passion within me for vulnerable children of the world. I am excited to pursue this passion and with your help take action in making a difference in the Kingdom of Christ one candle at a time!
Thank you for your time and effort!

Blessings,

Jennifer Hauk & Starwick Candles

Making a Difference (Again this Year) In God’s Kingdom One Candle at a Time

October marks the launch of the six week long candle sales for the Dayspring Family Resource Center sponsored by the Lamplighter Orphan and Humanitarian ministry of the Shelter Community Church of the Nazarene in Dayton, Ohio.  

What is Dayspring?
Dayspring, a family resource home for orphans in Tokmok, Krygzstan is the international focus of the Lamplighters Ministry.  Dayspring’s purpose is to provide a family-type setting to children who otherwise would be placed in orphanages.  Created and supported by LAMb International (www.lambinternational.blogspot.com) it is a model of care that is being noticed by government officials in Kyrygzstan. 

Each and every day, children are removed from families and placed in one of the scores of orphanages across Kyrgyzstan   The reality is that Dayspring cannot meet the needs of every child, but can touch the lives of the ones whom God sends. 

Sensing a call by God to minister to live out James 1.27, Lamplighters is in the early stages of following what God wants them to do.  This fund raising project is just the beginning.

In a few days, there will be much more specific information on how to purchase/sell candles.  Stay tuned.
