What’s one of your big dreams for the kids in your world?

I have to admit… that some of my favorite dreams that have ever been posted at the BIG dream gatherings over the years have involved kids.

Whether it was Mandy Franje (Then Mandy Van Maanen) posting her dream of helping orphans in Mozambique at that first BDG in our living room… (even though it seemed crazy to her when she posted it… she was there in less than a year by the way!  Woot woot for Mandy!) Mandy and friend - BIG Dream Gathering

Or maybe it was just some of the kids that have come to the BDG’s to dream big!

Like 3 year old Melissa who had big dreams of rainbows and roller coasters… (Thanks to videographer and friend Brad Jorgensen for the awesome candid footage!)

Or there’s Denise Forney who in 2008 came to a BIG dream gathering to post a dream about writing songs for children and then came back to a BDG in 2010 to say that she wanted to record a CD of those songs with her kids!

Well… in both cases… she was able to make some contacts and get some freaky cool inspiration and… ta dah… she in 2011… she was able to produce “Criss Cross Applesauce” with her kiddos singing backup!

Yup… yup… those are all favorites…

But I think my absolute favorite thing… is to just see the kids come to dream BIG!

Just seeing them think about their big dreams… and talk about their big dreams… and even get some much needed encouragement for their big dreams…

Yeah… that’s the coolest!

    Would like Amber & Faith to know that we will support them in what God presses upon their hearts. Going on numerous college visits throughout the country with Amber to let her dream BIG!

    As for God’s children everywhere, enough to eat is always on my heart for them! Just got back from a Meals from the Heartland packaging event that the students from Simon Estes S. African school participated in. They sang for 1 1/2 hours straight while packaging, pure joy! Hopefully, we can deliver meals to their day school in Capetown as they currently are not fed there. Can you imagine going to school all day & not eating?

    I would love to sponsor a few of them to have an opportunity to go to college here in America & bring back their talents to S. Africa. I wonder if there are other people out there that would sponsor these high schoolers when they are of age to go to college? Surely, they could get partial or full scholarships, Simon would know. Most of them don’t have parents, so parental support would be so helpful if they had an opportunity in the US.

    Anyway, that’s me, I always have a couple of ideas floating around in my head which is good, but need prayer to focus on where God is leading me!
