My first encounter with DCLS was in April 2019. I had the opportunity to experience God's greatness even through the brokenness of this world. One of my favorite parts about the Dream Center was their willingness to love without limits. They believe in outreach and meeting people where they are. I felt an overwhelming feeling of purpose as God had lead me to love His people. Throughout the week I experienced community, passion, and God's presence. I left the Dream Center with a heavy heart and I knew my trip was not the end to these feelings. All the emotions I had felt continued within me once I got home. Joy was abundant each time I would share my experience with my friends and family. A few months later I decided to take a second trip to the Dream Center but this trip I took alone to specifically check out DCLS program.
Within the first twelve hours of my solo trip, I felt overwhelming peace. I felt comforted in the unknown and was called to take a leap of faith. My cheeks hurt from the constant smiling. For once in my life I was able to identify my purpose. The last few years I've been paralyzed by the questions regarding my future like where I want to attend college or the major I want to study but throughs God's plan I feel certainty this is where I'm supposed to be. I'm supposed to take a gap year or a year of purpose to find myself, serve in a community that has greater potential than disfunction, and spread God's promises.
I've surrendered my life to Christ and I am ready for the exponential growth I will experience in the nine months I will be attending the Dream Center Leadership School. I start in Sept 2020! Within my time at the Dream Center I will go through discipleship training hands on while also still learning skills in the classroom. I am eager to begin my journey in LA and would LOVE if you joined me! I cannot do this alone, and need all the help I can get! The DCLS program does not qualify for financial aid and as I am committed to being ALL IN to this program, we are not permitted to have a job. By Aug 2020 I have to have $7,000 to cover my room and board as well as my tuition. Any prayers and support both emotional and financial is welcomed. Feel free to share my page with anyone who might feel lead to contribute! I am extremely thankful for this opportunity for personal growth and I will be sure to share the goodness of God.
