"Feed the hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as day." Isaiah 58:10 (NLT)
I am excited to share that I will be going on my first mission trip from July 28th to August 2nd to serve at the Los Angeles Dream Center.
The Dream Center operates as a 24-7 church, providing food, shelter, and recovery programs for thousands of people in the Los Angeles area. Pastor Matthew Barnett, who started the Dream Center, is also the creator of Adopt-a-Block, an outreach ministry that I participate in every Saturday morning. Seeing the success of this ministry in my own town makes me excited to see the same principles playing out on a much larger scale at the Dream Center in LA. I believe that God has given me vision to see this same large scale healing and service provided for those in need in the Bradenton area. It is my goal to not only help those in need in Los Angeles, but to return and use what I have learned to help families in need in Bradenton.
At the Dream Center I will work with my mission team to:
- provide food to the hungry through the center's food pantry
- give hope to those hurting by providing prayer, offering shelter to the homeless, and providing safe haven for the abused
- change lives by sharing testimony, speaking God's word, and inviting others to church
The total cost of my trip is $1,200.00 which covers travel expenses, food, and board for the entire trip. If it is in your heart to give toward this cause please make a donation. Any amount large or small is helpful and appreciated. I believe that God will provide all that is needed for this trip because lives will be changed, including mine. This is more than just supporting me personally. This is changing lives for eternity. Thank you for your support!
