this spring break four of us piled into a small car and braved the road that leads to los angeles. we wanted to work with the dream center which is the product of two young men's dream to reach out to the inner city of los angeles. they do too much even begin to go into here. 200+ different ministries including the few we got to be a part of: hope for homeless youth, skid row outreach, food truck, and metro kidz (which, by the way, is run in part by a guy named joe from missoula, who was very excited that we were there). this is my favorite picture from the whole trip. it's from our time in metro kidz. we went to a couple of schools in watts and handed out fliers to kids after school for an outreach we helped put on with games, music, candy and a bible story. the girl on the left's name is omri. she is a beautiful combination of shyness and goofiness.
