My mom was a single mom who worked long hours to provide for us. That is when I began to experiment with drugs and alcohol. My mom remarried when I was 12 to a man who was physically abusive to me. I was scared to go home and found myself around the wrong people. At 15 years of age I was shooting up meth and cocaine daily. I felt God had abandoned me. This was a constant struggle for the next 24 years. In 2012, I lost my job, my wife, and my kids. I gave up on life. I was so disappointed. I started shooting up again and using heroine and didn’t care about anything anymore. I was facing 15-20 years in prison. That’s when, through a circumstance that can only be explained as a miracle, God brought me to the Dream Center. The judge knew my mom. The judge and my mom both knew Pastor Zach Palen (who is a minister from New Mexico who sends people who are struggling to the Dream Center). The judge sentenced me to one year at the Dream Center. Upon completion he agreed to drop all of my charges. I thought I was just coming to a rehab, but I knew when I walked in and talked to the guys that it was much more than just a 9 month commitment but a lifelong commitment to constantly pursue my relationship with God. Now I have God’s Holy Spirit living in me that has given me a joy, a peace, a love that I cannot put into words. I wake up every day and thank God for his mercy and for the future he has for me. Here at the Dream Center I am being trained by the Word of God to become the man God called me to be.” FEBRURARY - We will be having a Dream Center Luncheon. - We will be sharing our vision for 2015.
