Southeast Christian Church Members Minister!

Every Friday evening from 6:30 to 9, members of Southeast Christian Church come to Wayside Christian Mission's Family Campus and provide a much needed time for parents to get some rest as they provide childcare for children that stay with Wayside. Trina West, coordinator of the group, says this opportunity started with her 4 years ago when she was in charge of shopping for the individuals that her Bible study took to Southeast’s Easter pageant. After she started her responsibilities to shop for them she felt like God was calling her to have real relationships with the residents here at Wayside so she decided to start coming one Friday night a month with her family and pray over the names of the people she encountered when she came. Today the once a month volunteer time has turned into a every Friday night event that involves as many as 4 other churches. Mrs. West says “Wayside has become a part of my life and I know it will stay a part of my life forever”. Trina has set up three different rooms for the kids and games are age appropriate. The two older groups have the opportunity to play Wii which the West family bought with their own money for our residents here. Wayside is thankful to God that He placed Trina and her family along their path to serve the needy in the Louisville community.
