Warm, Sunny LA!

We are serving, ministering and really hearing from the Lord. Our team has gone to skid row to minister to the homeless, and Jessica gave her testimony at the Santa Monica pier.

This afternoon we will be working with the food truck and then church service at the Angeles Temple.

More updates soon

Up, up and Away!

We are hours away from leaving. We were blessed by the prayers offered today from our church family.

We are hoping that California will greet us with sunshine and WARM temperatures!!

Blessings and Love,
The LA Team

Sunny Los Angeles Here We Come!

We had our final team meeting last night at Brock's BBQ due to yet another snow event! It was great to fellowship together. We are looking forward to our trip. We are excited about all we will do! Please continue to pray for us as we prepare to leave. Pray that we can focus on God's call for us as a team, not on the craziness of trying to get ready. Please also pray for our departure on Monday morning since weather forecasts at this point don't look favorable for travel.

We know God has amazing things in store for us in the coming week and we are ready to get started!!

It's almost time!

Welcome to the LA Dream Center Mission Team's Blog! We'll keep you updated while we are away. We'll leave bright and early on Feb. 15 and return in the evening on Feb. 22. We are expecting God to do amazing things in us and through us as we minister in the most needy parts of Los Angeles.

Please pray for us as we make our final preparations in the next week.

Blessings!

Happy Thanksgiving! We give thanks today for many things. We had a super day today doing all the same things as yesterday. The pastor of the church seems to be overwhelmed with joy as he watches the progress. He is not used to how fast things are getting done. We want to send a special thank you to those at Cornerstone who wrote words of encouragment and scriptures for us to read while here. We shared several of them with each other this morning at breakfast as part of our Thanksgiving devotional. The ladies of the church were told that this was a holiday for us. Several ladies asked many questions as to why we celebrate and what Thanksgiving is. We had a wonderful surprise when the ladies prepared turkey, mashed potatoes, bread, sweet bread, hot chocolate, and rice. The pastor, his wife, and all of the Mastor´s commision kids came to our hotel with the food and we all sat down for a banquet. What a wonderful way to say we love you too! The relationships that are being established are amazing. In spite of language barriers love is able to transcend. Please continue to pray for us as we have one more work day left. God bless you all and we will see you soon.

Wednesday: What a productive day. The team worked so hard. We tied rebar, dug more trenches (footers),and moved stone. We shoveled and hauled away dirt as well as mixed and poured concrete. God is good. Just as the word that was spoken over us said, the foundation is being laid.

Tuesday: Another day of hard work and the sun came out which made it hotter. But, we had plenty of sunscreen and drank plenty of water. The guys seemed like the Flinestones since they spent the day breaking huge rocks with a sledge hammer.The boulders used to be the floor of the sanctuary. Some of the team dug footers and moved dirt.
Everyone is well, working very hard, and now we´re getting ready to go to dinner. Hopefully we will get to bed early for a much needed night rest.
We have had a great time in the Lord with the Master´s Commision kids, and with the people of Escol Church. The pastor stands watching all that the Lord is doing and smiles. Continue to pray for us for health and safety.
