“It’s a new season, it’s a new day, and a fresh anointing is coming our way”

How It All Began We’ve felt a commitment to this area for some time. In 1984, we began busing families in for Saturday Sunday School at Victory Christian Center. Over the years, we have developed wonderful relationships with thousands of families in the North Tulsa area. But it was in 1998 that I read in the paper that the 46 th Street North and Cincinnati area has the highest crime rate in our city. Sharon and I and two of our children began to drive around the area, praying for God to give us land for an outreach center to turn the tide of this violence and make this a place of peace. We prayed that Jesus would be exalted in the middle of that neighborhood. Within, a few days, two sister, Mary Trotter and Martha Cobb contacted me and said their grandfather owned an 80-acre farm at the 46 th Street North and Cincinnati area. They had a desire to see the land used for an outreach center to the community. They could envision ministry taking place to help the people in the neighborhood. They offered to give Victory the land.

As we walked the property, our spirits leaped with a sense of excitement that this was a special piece of ground. At the Dream Center site, ministry is taking place. People are finding wholeness and healing in their lives because someone cared and prayed.
