Dear Friend of Dream Center ICT,

We are living in unprecedented times. Political fervor, cultural conflict and general discontent consume so much energy and attention. Yet, the Kingdom that Jesus has, and is, establishing on earth is still centered on two core commands: “Love the Lord your God…and love your neighbor.”

“Loving our neighbor” is what we’re taking very seriously through the outreach efforts of the Dream Center.  Our mission of “helping people dream again” comes directly from this mandate.

Helping families who have stopped dreaming has been our goal since our inception in April 2002. Right here in the Wichita area, children are more at-risk than ever. Fatherlessness has destroyed families. Addiction, neglect, domestic violence and rage are devastating complete neighborhoods. Educational burdens are getting heavier.

Someone has to step in. Many are…including the Dream Center.

Summer 2024 presents more opportunities
​than ever before. Here are just a few:

#CareForEveryFamily Initiative

I’ve been honored to be part of the leadership team that is mobilizing the faith community in Sedgwick County to answer the foster care crisis we currently experience. Over 1300 children are in the foster care system and for too long, the Church has sat on the sidelines while we should be in the middle of this fight…leading the way. I believe God is answering our prayers and the prayers of countless families who need hope. 

Day of Hope Planeview

Once again, we are partnering with Convoy of Hope (Hope Wichita) to bring God’s hope to the Planeview neighborhood. On Saturday,  July 27  we will serve over a 1000 people with free groceries, backpacks, hot breakfast, medical tent, prayer tent, inflatables, pony rides, prizes, snow cones, free bibles…and much more. 

One of Wichita’s most depressed communities will experience the love and generosity of God’s people in a powerful way. Please consider being part of the miracle!

Free Skate Night for Foster Families

Sunday, August 4 at 7 PM marks our second annual skate night. The Dream Center partners with Gathered Strong, a fantastic non-profit that serves hundreds of local foster families. Another purposeful effort to target the foster care need in Sedgwick County.

Worship Night @Naftzger Park

Downtown Wichita will never be the same. We join Presence Worship to welcome youth groups and churches from all over the area to lift up the holy name of Jesus…and to have focused prayer over our teens and our schools. The Dream Center will also provide groceries to the homeless community as we bring Jesus in a tangible way to the core of our city.

These wonderful outreach events are important. But our ministry continues on a weekly basis all year long. The single mom who is struggling to get by. The lonely senior who no longer has meaningful connection to the world. The young family who is raising a special needs child. Dream Center ICT is serving them as well.

Will you help us continue?

Here are few of our pressing needs this summer:

We need warehouse storage space.
We have the opportunity to bring large amounts of groceries to Wichita for very little cost and have them at the ready for struggling families. But our storage options are extremely limited. If you know of anything available, or want to help with monthly rental costs, please let us know.

Day of Hope Planeview: $4500 (300 backpacks at $10 each; groceries, personal items, other rentals)

Naftzger Park Rental: $625

Roller City Rental: $750

Could you sponsor some backpacks? 

Help us with grocery shipping costs?
​Any and all donations are so helpful and so appreciated.

God loves Wichita! God is opening doors for His love through the generosity of His people in an unprecedented way. 

Thanks for your prayers and support.
