First Coast Dream Center (Homeless)
Tax deductible
We are starting year five of this outreach in the inner city of Jacksonville, Florida. We started under a bridge, then to a City Park, then to a Café. This year we have our sights and faith out there for God to continue to move us into what He has planned from the start.
But for now, each week we host what we call “Rally at the Café” across from the Duval County courthouse serving the homeless, impoverished, or just simply spiritual hungrier that have come along side us. Most of our volunteers who help us are themselves coming out of homelessness, staying in a shelter, part of some other social-program. We not only host this event, but disciple and work with individuals throughout the week, we are like family, we do life together with many of the people have decided to cast off, shun, and/or pretend do not exist. One of the events we have started hosting is the “Rally at the Park” which we have been permitted by the City of Jacksonville to host quarterly in the City Main Square called Hemming Park.
From failure to triumph: Our founder was himself years ago going through a break-up of family, asked to vacate His home by the courts, in the midst of this four year struggle the Lord dealt with him to get out of his focus on himself and get out and love others. Thus is how we began. We at Dream Center believe every life is significant. We try to esteem everyone knowing all have a purpose. We help individuals take the next steps in life. Looking for ways, needs, and direction to encourage, equip, and empower to serve and love others. Most of the people, just like our founder, were the sum total and result of broken family.
We are looking both support to keep the Rally’s going on, both the Regular “Rally as the Café,” and the quarterly “Rally at the Park” meetings. As well, we are beginning to set our sights on our own Campus and Café location. If nothing else, keep us in your prayers.
