“In the last days,“ says God, I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall DREAM dreams and your young men shall see visions”.
– Joel 2:28
The “Dream Center” building, in the picture above, shows the before, and after two weeks of work on the exterior.
My husband, Wayne, has the gift of remodeling. He takes something old and worn down and makes it into something amazing that you can barely recognize. As I look at the “Dream Center”, I see something beautiful being created in his hands. He was made for this. But the most exciting part is not the outer shell, but the transformation of lives that will happen inside.
The “Dream Center” will be a place to empower the community through education–library, parenting classes, addiction support, bible studies, tutoring, etc. We hope to bring healing from trauma through the gospel, using camps, and offering sports, drama, music, and art. Our prayer is that this place will be filled with life, healing, and learning, and, that it will be so filled with the love of Jesus, that it will pour-out into the community of orphans, widows, mothers, and fathers. We will pour-out the love of Jesus into the community of those without Him, those in the bondage of witchcraft, and those in the Islamic faith.
Mombasa Kenya is estimated to be 41% Muslim. And 25% of Muslims that come to Christ do so because of visions and dreams!
Jesus has taken us from a pile of ashes and made us into something beautiful, so we want to be a part of sharing our hope in a place of hopelessness. We would not be here if God had not compelled some of you to give. Thank you for investing in people and building-up treasures in heaven. Because of your giving, we have been able to remodel the building and lease it for 10 years. Now, we need to fill it with toys, teachers, books, and much more. If you would like to be a part of this journey of transformation by giving, below is a list of needs.
