NYC Dream Center Leadership School program

Hello everyone!! As most of you know that I’ve been living here at the Dream center LA since September of 2018. I came into the recovery discipleship program depressed and tired of relying on drugs to find happiness. Within my first year I saw my life in a different light. God showed me and has blessed me so much, just over all saved me from my own self destruction. I graduated my first sober year here at DCLA in November 2019. I knew I still had a journey ahead of me and God was still working in me and through me. I told my family I was going to do a second year here at DCLA. I’m so glad I did, God has given me a fresh perspective on life and has opened my eyes to love people the way he does. I have been blessed to serve the women in the discipleship program and now currently have been serving with our food truck ministry which has been such an incredible experience, a beautiful journey. In the beginning of my second year I felt God place on my heart the desire to serve at the NYC dream center. Everything aligned doors opened, it was totally a God thing and because I’m not perfect I fell, not to drugs I’m still sober going on 2yrs Sept 2020. In that moment I felt that calling was no longer there. I realized I needed to get back to my first love, I needed to get back to that place where nothing else mattered but me and my relationship with God. I have seen God show up so many times for me, my friends and family. I realized New York Dream center has not left my heart, my journey doesn’t end here for me to go back home and just get any job. I want to pour into others, how others have poured into me and my life. I want to make and be a difference. So why not, I spontaneously decided to apply for NYC DC leadership program school, totally different than the original plan. Yesterday a week and a half later after one phone call and one zoom interview, I have received an acceptance letter from DC NYC. I’m super excited and once again have faith and trust that God has this under control. The cost of the program is totaling 10,000. It’s not a coincidence that I complete and graduate my 2nd year on Sept 21, 20 and the leadership program begins on Sept 28, 20. I’m trusting I can get a portion of this goal to place as my down payment. Please if you feel it in your heart to sponsor me I would greatly appreciate it. I began to get a lil stressed and nervous but over all I can’t look away from this God opportunity to learn and be able to do his work helping others. If you cannot help financially please keep me in your prayers as I will be far away from my family, can’t call my mom to bring me a home cooked meal. Prayers for over all peace and protection are very much needed. God bless, I will keep you all posted on this journey of mine. Love, Ashley
