From the Board of Star Light

It is with great sadness that the Board of Directors of Star Light Ministries accept Lia Scholl’s resignation. We cannot express enough gratitude for her enthusiasm, vision and dedication to Star Light. We wish her well in her endeavors.

While each member of the board has a desire and vision for this ministry, we find ourselves in the poignant reality of lacking leadership and resources to maintain the organization. It is for this reason that we have chosen to dissolve Star Light Ministries, Inc. In our hearts, we feel that a desire to love and embrace exotic dancers goes beyond the charter of a non-profit corporation. It is our prayer that those who have been touched by this ministry continue to carry on its mission in their own personal or collective ways.

Who We Are

Star Light shares unconditional love and friendship with women who are exotic dancers so they will not forget they are also loved and valued by God. We help them build supportive communities and find resources for successful living.

The Need

Most exotic dancers are young women who come from varied socio-economic backgrounds. Their education levels vary — some have not graduated from high school, others have post-graduate degrees. Most of the women do not expect to be working at the clubs for the rest of their lives, but they have no idea what they will do when they leave the club.

These women face many challenges. Many times their support systems of family and church have abandoned them because of the work they are doing. Star Light believes that these women need support and love, like all women. Star Light walks alongside these women.

Why We Do It

We value women and refuse to judge them based on what they do to earn a living. Our work with dancers is compelled by our belief that all people are loved and accepted unconditionally by God.
