St. Louis Dream Center

When Jesus rose from the dead, grief departed, and His suffering—so wrenching and complete—became a thing of the past.

At the moment of Christ's resurrection, His focus, and ours, turned to the future.

The miraculous lesson of Easter is this: Through Jesus' death on the cross, we have been granted a second chance.

We have permission to leave our old lives behind and focus on the new day, with all its potential for joy and choices that honor God.

Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior? If not, Easter is the perfect time to ask Him into your heart and your life.

The Genesis Men’s celebrated their 100th Graduate! At the age of 14, Josphat began drinking. By the time he reached 21, what initially began as an occasional drink had evolved into a daily struggle to function without it. His drinking transformed him into a different, mean, and argumentative person.

Following multiple stints in detox facilities, Josphat made a crucial decision to change his life, leading him to Genesis Men’s Home. Tired of the alcoholic lifestyle, he sought a transformation and placed his faith in God for a brighter future. Josphat reflects, “Joining the Genesis Men’s Home turned out to be the best decision I have ever made. During my time there, I acquired valuable skills in leadership and communication, and learned to embrace a healthy lifestyle. Now, I believe God has a purpose for my life and am grateful that He never gave up on me during my darkest times.”

A heartfelt thank you to our partners for your continuous support; it is making a significant impact at our Genesis Men’s Home, where lives are transformed every day!

With Thanksgiving just around the corner many families struggle to provide a meal for their families. Our St. Louis Dream Center (an outreach of Joyce Meyer Ministries and Hand of Hope) wanted to come along side our community and make this Thanksgiving a special one for families. 100 volunteers from our headquarters and several local churches made 150 bags full of your favorite Thanksgiving foods, a book from Joyce Meyer, and a handwritten card. Teams went door to door to deliver the bags and pray for the people in our community.

The St. Louis Dream Center has been doing the Thanksgiving Blessing for over two decades, feeding thousands of local residents not just a Thanksgiving meal, but also showing them the love of Christ in a practical way. Thank you partners for helping us provide a meal and bring some hope this Thanksgiving.

Sometimes it’s the little things that open the door to big things! The St. Louis Dream Center just wrapped up its summer camp where kids were able to laugh with friends, play games together, have water balloon fights, learn to cook, but most importantly, encounter the life-changing love of Jesus! Thank you to our partners for all the lives you changed and all the smiles you made possible for children in the inner-city this summer!
