“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. The results are amazing…to God be the glory! Sharon Daugherty Vision The vision of the Tulsa Dream Center is to thousands of people restored and empowered to achieve the dream that God has for them. This dream becomes a reality as they develop healthy life skills to maintain positive lifestyles by caring for the whole person – spirit, soul and body Values The Dream Center is about people. It is a place where loving people love other people. Jesus came to demonstrate God’s love for us. He healed the sick, forgave sinners, fed the multitudes, held the little children, lifted the fallen, and mended the broken. As we empower people with love, they will rise out of despair and defeat to live victoriously. A new generation will arise to lift their families and neighborhoods from poverty to prosperity, from crime to caring, from brokenness to blessing, from sickness to soundness, from fear to freedom. This is a place to invest our money, our time, our talents and our support. Everyone who hears of the Dream Center can do something. There are many ways to help. Let’s do it TOGETHER.
