Missions
Since its grand opening in October 2000, the St. Louis Dream Center continues to reach the people of the inner city of St. Louis with a caring hand of hope. Each year, through a team of volunteers and trained staff, we reach out to thousands in the community-providing food, clothing, friendship and spiritual help. The St. Louis Dream Center has established several ministries that serve people of various ages with different needs.
Every Friday night (7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.) a trained ministry team from the St. Louis Dream Center goes into the streets of the inner city to minister to the homeless. We share the love of Christ by providing things like food, drinks, blankets and clothing, as well as interacting with the people. In 2009, 7,495 homeless were ministered to.
We also send out ministry teams every week to visit anywhere from 600 to 650 people who are living in senior complexes and nursing homes in the St. Louis area. At each gathering, they share songs, scriptures and testimonies to encourage and teach the residents about salvation, healing and the Holy Spirit. In 2010, we ministered to over 27,581 in nursing homes across the area.
There are many programs taking place at the St. Louis Dream Center to meet the needs of children and youth. Whether it's a KidZJam school assembly teaching children about character, after-school tutoring, or one of the children's classes taking place on Tuesday nights and Sunday mornings, we are continually providing the next generation with the Word of God. In 2008, we ministered to over 67,000 children.
Another adult outreach that is changing lives is the Genesis Men's Home-a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program for young men in the community. The men commit to a 12-month stay in the Genesis house, where they get immersed in God's Word, learn new life skills, and break free from addictions.
Whether it's through our weekly food distribution outreaches, the DC Cafe, or even our DC Grill-an oversized portable grill that travels to various locations providing free food-our goal is to share the love of Christ. In 2010, we provided over 243,000 meals to those in need.
Also at the Dream Center is the New Image Clothing Boutique. It has the appearance of a regular clothing store-without the price tags. In 2008, nearly 5,000 outfits were given away. Amazingly, the Boutique receives a constant flow of donated apparel, which is given to those who cannot afford clothes.
Without the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries, thousands of men, women and children in North St. Louis would be dreamless and living nightmarish lives of poverty, drug addiction and hopelessness. Now, because of your generous giving, many people are finding the love of Jesus Christ and being set free from the various bondages that still affect far too many people here in the urban core of St. Louis.
Men are being healed of addictions. Children are being fed nutritious meals and receiving character training and discipleship. People are being trained for ministry. The homeless are receiving food and clothing. Elderly folks are receiving attention and love. And the truth of God's Word is penetrating the hearts of thousands of people.
Thanks to you, the St. Louis Dream Center is keeping dreams alive.
Hand of Hope is the missions arm of Joyce Meyer Ministries. Our goal is simply to help as many hurting people as we possibly can, to alleviate human suffering and to help Christians grow in their faith.
