The Phoenix Dream Center is more than just a placeāitās a lifeline for those who need a second chance. Itās where lives are transformed, dreams are revived, and people are given hope.
My name is Misty, and my journey is proof of the incredible impact this center has had on my life.
I didnāt know what the Dream Center was when I first heard about it. I was being released from Via Linda Mental Hospital, and overheard a discharge coordinator mentioning a Christian discipleship program. When I heard the word "Christian," I knew that was where I needed to be.
I had tried to take my own lifeāmy heart stopped, and I was dead for a short time. But Jesus had other plans. The Phoenix Dream Center became the vessel of His healing and transformation in my life. Here, I found love, guidance, and a community that helped me rediscover my purpose.
I graduated from the year-long program in July 2024, and now Iām proud to be on staff. I work as a team leader on the Crisis Response Team, intake coordinator, and a grant writer on the development team. Iām also working toward my Peer Support Specialist and EMT certifications to help more people in the Phoenix Valley.
The Phoenix Dream Center saved me, and now Iām dedicated to helping others find the hope and healing I found. Itās a place where dreams are restored, and lives are changedājust like mine.
Luke 7:36-50 and Hebrews 11 have been powerful reminders of Godās grace in my life, and Iām forever grateful for the second chance Iāve been given.
