The Dream Center: Mission Training


The Dream Center is a non-profit outreach dedicated to helping inner-cities.
Our ministry provides hope by meeting both tangible and spiritual needs.


We provide food, clothing, shelter, life rehabilitation, education and job training, Biblical training and much more through our 273 ministries and outreaches. We reach thousands of hurting and needy children, families and adults across all races and cultures each week. The Dream Center strives to help solve moral decay, crime, drugs, gangs, homelessness and poverty epidemics that exist in our nation's inner-cities. The vision of the Dream Center is to see thousands of hurting people come to know a new life through the efforts of our staff, volunteers, and recently rehabilitated individuals whose lives have been dramatically changed.

The Dream Center works to partner with people all around the
world to reach the lost and help meet the community's most basic and greatest needs.


Training for the Mission:

We have an opportunity to head to California to train under the Dream Center for a short term Mission trip for 5 days. We will be able to see how they do inner city ministry, stay on campus, serve the people, and get to know those who are serving and participating in this life changing ministry.


Would you consider sponsoring funds for the trip?
Lodging, food, and travel expenses per Day: $150.00


Still in need of 4 days of funding.. $600.00

Thank you those of you who have given towards this trip!

Rhonda's Story



Someone once said "I am trying to learn to stay in the now- not the last now, not the next now; but this now." I have learned that in order to stay in the now I have to come to terms with my last now.

For years, fear consumed me. I stayed hidden indoors. This lifestyle left me with an anxious depression that turned simple things like getting out of bed into difficult tasks.

Along with anxiety, I was involved in abusive relationships. Relationships that left low self-esteem painted all over my skin. There was one instance where I even came close to losing my life. During these years I received amazing blessing, my seven kids. They were my reason to wake up, to heal from the abuse and not give up.

A year ago, a false accusation left me being placed in metal cuffs. That day my kids were taken from me and a piece of me died. I replayed the image of a man tearing my world apart again. My walls collapsed and all I could do was hope for a better tomorrow. My hope turned out to be my eighth blessing. A gift from God named Serenity. On days when I didn't think I could take anymore, a tiny flutter from my belly would remind me that giving up was not an option.

When I was released from jail, I was thrown into the world with nothing but my baby. I had no home to go to; and realized I had lost friends and family. I sought shelter at Father Ed Judy House. I worked hard every day to leave the house and conquer my busy schedule. I only had supervised visitation with my kids once a week. I did everything I needed so my kids would be returned- parenting classes, domestic violence counseling, and my probation requirements.

I remember the day I had my interview at Joshua Station. For the first time in a while I felt like things were finally looking up. When I moved in, it was a fresh start. The people here at Joshua Station became the glue as I pieced my world back together. They provided me a home and helped me get my kids back. Not only have I gained an amazing support system but strong friendships as well.

The other women here have helped me through heartache and proven to me that I am not facing the world alone. I have a family now, even bigger than my eight kids. I have friends and a staff of people standing behind me in every hardship. Even now, as I continue to meet challenges, Joshua Station has the hope I sometimes lose sight of and is fighting by my side. I can never repay them for the new life they are helping me accomplish. I am now a college student, I leave my room and take buses, visit museums, and find enjoyment in my life. I am a proud mother and I am a part of something great.

So as I fully live in the now, I do it with hope, encouragement and faith. I do not stand alone in a hurricane of misery but stand hand in hand with great people who understand. I will never forget my last now; however today I embrace this now and look to my new family whenever the past floods in or the future seems too far away.

Martin Missions Inc. Fundraiser Tickets


Would you like to invite your friends and family to the Martin Missions Inc. Summer Fundraiser? We have tickets for you to distribute. The tickets are suggested donation of $7 per person which includes dinner. You can either take the money in advance and send it to us or if they know they will be there, give them the tickets and they can pay at the door. This is a fun way for us to "count heads" for the meal.

Also, I will be sending out an invite through email which you can RSVP online, pay online, and send to others. So these are the two ways we will be able to know an estimated number of people coming to the event. If you respond online, you don't have to have a ticket, again this is just a way we can estimate # of people coming.

Let me know if you want any tickets and I can send them in the mail.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the event on July 17th!

Hugs and Love,
Matt and Wendy
