Mission Update: Daniel And Dee: Rebels With A Cause

Daniel And Dee:  Rebels With A Cause

 

     Decked in leather and mounted on a rumbling Harley, Daniel and Dee were two of the many motorcyclists who participated in this year's Kentucky Motorcycle Association's Annual Bunny Run at Wayside Christian Mission.  But six years earlier, Daniel and Dee, proud parents of two young daughters, were homeless and in the care of Wayside Christian Mission.  "Wayside was a life saver for me," Dee explained. "God took us from nothing and gave us everything!"   While at Wayside Christian Mission, Daniel pulled a stunt that, admittedly, led to his arrest.  Climbing atop a cellular phone tower near the Mission's old shelter on Market Street, he unfurled two banners proclaiming "Extreme Make Over Life Edition" and "Meth Busters."  Two weeks later, Daniel was out of jail and was soon hired by the Transit Authority of River City.  In reminiscing the past, Dee said, "Wayside brought us together, brought us off the streets, and brought us to God!"  That is quite a testimony, but Daniel and Dee are quite a couple!   This might be a good time to remind our supporters that success stories as this are possible because of your prayers and financial generosity!
