2010 Short Term Mission

What a year!! 2010 has been an awesome! So many amazing teams from all over the world.

Here is some testimonies of people's experience

We had an awesome experience! This was my 3rd trip... My teams 1st trip. I have two students who would like to join the movement in the next year or so and some younger ones who like the idea in the future. Bernice, Cindy and the team (STM) were EXTREMELY helpful and helped make our experience an unforgettable one. - Joel Wilkie

I really enjoyed my time at the Dream Center. The things you all are doing are amazing. My favorite thing about the trip was just going out and simply talking to or ministering to the homeless in Santa Monica & Venice Beach. The things I saw and the people I talked to will forever be embedded in my mind. My heart breaks for them. But I know that the power of God can reach the lost and broken. He loves us all. - Nick Rodriguez

I Really LOVE all of the ministries and outreaches that you do and the vision of the Dream Center. Doing the food trucks was amazing. I love being able to interact with people and just seeing the joy on their faces when they receive things like that. I am really wanting to come back and stay longer. I've even been thinking about joining the Movement. Keep doing everything you are doing and spreading the love of God in LA. - Callie Swenson

The dream center helped me realize how easy it is to serve and how much of an impact one person can have. - Marcus Grimes

Just finished making calls in Marketing center with my 3 teens and they were petrified to make calls. By the end they expressed joy at the experience. This is just the most recent example of the stretch and challenge that I was offered from the Dream Center - Great example of the challenge God presents and blessings given to those who answer. - Debbie Dotts

I had a really great time, the experience was very eye-opening. Everyone was wonderful to work with. I loved doing all the outreaches to students and youth - Nicole Huttie

I thought the Dream Center was an amazing experience for me and my group. I can truly see how Jesus is working through peoples lives by how they love other people. Thank you for this amazing experience - Kayra Strecker

I thought that the Dream Center is an outstanding place for positive change in peoples lives. The people who served and are served equally receive God's grace and love because of the works of this place. - Alyssa Fulling

I really like the dream center. This has been a life changing experience for me. I have heard a lot of people's testimony and it was really awesome to see how the Dream Cneter has changed so many people's lives. I bet all those people are super thankful for the Dream Center. Thank you! - Emily Klahn

Volunteering at the Dream Cneter changed my life. Before I came here I wasn't totally sure about my relationship with God but now I feel closer than ever - Kimberlyn Wooley

This trip has been an awesome, life-changing experience for me. I liked how we got to interact with a lot of homeless people and people in poverty. I have developed closer relationships with my friends, leaders and God. I definitely plan on going here next year. - Chris Stack

Last year was my first time here (this is my second time here) I was in a bad, dark and horrible place. The mission trip was my last chance for God. What I saw here and what the people around me did, truly saved my life. Not just my religion, but my physical and spiritual life. If I hadn't come here without God, I can say with certainty that I would not be alive today. - Olivia Ley

This was my 2nd year and I'm still AMAZED at how God works through the Dream Center and all of the short term missionaries. Our students loved it and I know I learned a lot and had a great spiritual growth week! - Jimmy Ezzell
I really thought that this center was truly amazing. What everyone does here is so cool. The experience is awesome and the staff and all people are very nice :) - Callie Walker

I have had a great experience here at the Dream Center. God has opened my eyes to a part of the world I have never seen or experienced before. My heart burns with compassion for these people. Thank you for making this missions trip an incredible eye-opening experience. - Hannah Evans

I have really really enjoyed this trip. God has really opened my eyes to many things. I gained a compassion and urgency to share the gospel with everyone. Whether it would be the people on SKid Row or the people getting food from the Food Truck. All of the leaders and interns here have a heart and compassion and a love and joy for what they do and it contagious. thank you! My prayers are with you. May God continue to do such a great and amazing work in the hearts of the people in LA and beyond... all the way to Wisconsin. - Amber M. White

This has been a very rewarding and incredible experience. There are so many testimonies, its hard to choose just one. I think to pick one, it would be the faces and gratefulness I've seen throughout all the various missions. Thank you for this experience! - Rhonda Ferrel

I loved my experience here. I had no idea what to expect. I've only done missions out of country but people need God in the United States. the staff never failed to smile or say hello. Loved you all! - Bethany Umes

I thought working with the Jonah Project was an incredible experience that I will never forget. Feeding all those starving people was such a blessing not only to them but me as well. Thank you so much for giving me a chance to do this. - Alexandra Del Vecchio

Stay Blessed!
