Hi!
So we are starting this new thing here at The Dream Center.
We really want you, reading this, to be able to experience what it is like to be here in sunny Los Angeles.
I know that if you are reading this then there are probably a few possibilities as to why you are here.
There could be a big chance that God has been speaking to your heart about The Dream Center and you are curious as to what it's all really about. Or perhaps you accidentally stumbled about our website and ended up at this page, though I don't really believe in accidents at all :]. Maybe you were bored and needed some new reading material. In any even, I'm excited you are here because I truly believe you are here for a reason.
My name is Shannon but most people here know me as Shan. I am one of the hundreds of full time volunteers here at The Dream Center and I work in the Marketing Department with an incredible team of people. I have been here for almost a year and it has been the most challenging, growing and exciting year of my life. There are constantly a thousand things to do down here. Not only are we sourounded by the world (it truly is another world) of Los Angeles, but there are so many chances to change lives and impact people here. DAILY there are outreaches going out, there are small groups being formed, new people coming in, miracles happening, families being restored and vices being overcome. Sometimes I have to remind myself to breathe because I remember just how blessed I am that God called me to a place where I can have so much influence, if I choose to have it.
If you have heard a calling in your heart to explore The Dream Center, I encourage you to do just that. Look at the website, come for a service if you are in the area, come for a short term mission, come volunteer for a day but whatever you do, don't ignore the call. God is moving in Los Angeles and, trust me, if He is calling you to be a part of it, it is something you DON'T want to miss.
More soon!
All in kindness,
Shan.

This is interesting. I would definitely be coming back often to read about the life of the volunteers. It's great to know about their life and living there at the Dream Center.
The Dream Center is an amazing ministry. It's so cool that it is making such a huge impact in the community. Sweet that there is a new blog, too. I posted it on my Facebook :)
