In
the words of...
Pastor Tommy Barnett, “The Bus
Ministry is not about transportation, it is about soul-winning.”
Through the Bus Ministry, thousands and thousands of people
have been able to come to church when they would have had
no other way to do so. Every Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday
our Dream Center buses pull up into Los Angeles neighborhoods
ready to take people to church.
Westlake Bus Route
Many times someone will hear about our church through
our outreaches, like our Food Truck, Adopt-A-Block, or
the Mobile Medical Truck. One example was when a gentleman
called us to thank us for the free food we had given out
through the Food Truck. He asked if there was a way for
him to come to church since he didn’t have a car.
When I saw his address I noticed he lived close to where
the Dream Center bus stops on Sunday morning in the Westlake
neighborhood. I told him to be waiting outside of his
apartment on Sunday morning at 9:00 and we would swing
by and pick him up.
It was the first time he had been to church in years
and he absolutely loved it! He even went up to the altar
and prayed during altar call. Now he is a regular at the
stop.
Although the kids that ride that bus can be rowdy at times,
he brings candy to share with them every Sunday Morning.
He has really taken ownership of the bus; he loves the
bus driver and all of the workers. He is now getting involved
with the church, attending acting classes that are offered
and making tons of new friends.
