Paula White Ministries Supports The L.A. Dream CenterSunday, July 22, 2007 Paula White Ministries supports the efforts of the LA Dream Center, as it transforms struggling communities in East Los Angeles through God’s Word, housing and shelter, feeding outreaches, child and family support, and more.
Recent research estimates that up to 80, 000 homeless people sleep on the streets, in shelters, or elsewhere in Los Angeles each night; one in six families is living below the poverty line. Amidst the poverty, drug addiction, homelessness, and neglect, The Dream Center reaches more than 30,000 men, women, and children weekly through the church’s 40 services and nearly two hundred ministries and outreaches. Opening in 1994 with 39 members—located in the midst of the crime, violence, drugs, and abuse of gang-run neighborhoods—through the efforts of Senior Pastor Matthew Barnett and hundreds of volunteers and ministry members, the Dream Center has become a thriving refuge of hope and salvation for tens of thousands through God’s Word and the loving Spirit of Christ. Through its Discipleship programs for adults and teens, the Dream Center houses close to 500 people in an intensive, one-year, live-in, work-discipline program. Participants are assisted in drug and alcohol recovery, spiritual-based counseling for emotional challenges, and take part in Biblically based-programs that offer accountability structures, while nurturing leadership and decision-making skills.
The Community Youth Outreach Center offers after-school programs, counseling, tutoring, a computer lab, sports programs and video games, so that the thousands of at-risk youth in the area are provided with safe alternatives to the rampant violence and crime of their neighborhoods. Dream Center personnel work side-by-side with parents to provide options, plans, and choices for their children’s future.

Thanks to our Partners and Friends, who enable us to make this kind of collaboration happen, in Christ’s name! |
