In April, Ross and I are going to the Los Angeles Dream Center! We are on the youth staff at our church and we will be going as leaders with teenagers in the youth group as well as several other leaders. We are so excited! The LA Dream Center's mission is to "transform LA's inner city and the lives of those facing homelessness, poverty, and hopelessness. They offer opportunities for at risk youth, low income families, to reach self-sufficiency by providing assistance in areas of counseling, mentorship, education, job training, shelter, food, clothing, and health care."
They have several ministries going on all the time. They rely on volunteers. Some people help out for a weekend, others for a year. We have the privilage to be able to go for a whole week. I am so excited to be there, to be shocked, and to be stretched. I know I will be transformed while there. I am so excited to see the students of the youth group be transformed as well.
I am ready to be used and stretched in a whole new way. Please be praying for us as we prepare to go on this trip.

What a great opportunity! When I was in high school we went on a similar type trip to Chicago... It was such an eye opening and humbling experience. Those people definitely made a lasting impression on my life.
