Episode Synopsis

Sometimes God gives us a big vision, even if we really don't want it. In this episode of The Journey of my Mother's Son podcast, I sit down and talk with Pastor Mike Conner, who along with his wife, Vilma is a co-founder of the Dream Center of Southeast Texas.  The Dream Center is a faith-based recovery facility located in an old juvenile prison Beaumont, Texas.  Mike was involved with the Dream Center of LA and came to Southeastern Texas with a simple plan to start a small ministry with his wife as he prepared for his retirement years.  Little did he know that God had bigger plans for he and Vilma, much bigger. Those plans included entering into a lease with the county for the old juvenile prison that had been sitting dormant for several years.  The facility has over 10 acres, 13 buildings, and an incredible vision of making an amazing positive impact on the Beaumont community.  Several of the buildings still need a lot of work and investment before they can be used, but Mike's faith and trust in God to provide is stronger than ever.
