Summer Camp

Our first summer of youth camp is almost at its an end! Having youth ages 6-17 in the center has brought such life into the building. The kids have been in and out of the building swimming, taking trips to the fire department and air national guard, library and daily devotionals. 


God continues to show himself at Dream Center Peoria powerfully through circumstances and people. The impact of what God is doing through summer camp has been seen. We see great impact on the inner city youth, and know God is doing so much more than we may believe if told. 
"Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told." Habakkuk 1:5
Two boys that live on the south side of Peoria have attended the camp for the past 4-5 weeks. Two weeks ago, the families car broke down. Since the breakdown the boys have been walking 3 miles to be at summer camp. How many of us would wake up and be walking by 6:15 a.m. on a summer morning just because we want to be at a place such as Dream Center Peoria? The energy in the youth center is vibrant and addictive. 
The Word is preached clearly, seeds are being planted, and lives are changing.

Please continue in prayer as Summer Camp ends, and Mission Peoria begins.
