Charlotte Mecklenburg Dream Center - Donate Here
From their site: “Through partnerships with businesses, organizations, and churches, the Dream Center bridges the gap between need and resources with the ultimate goal of connecting those in seemingly hopeless situations with the greatest hope of all – Jesus Christ.” I personally have worked with the Dream Center many Friday nights where we go out together in the homeless-populated areas of Charlotte. This ministry is POWERFUL and whole-heartedly loves, cares and provides for our most vulnerable members of society while lovingly sharing the Gospel and praying over them.

Love Life - Donate Here
“Love Life is uniting and mobilizing the Church to create a culture of love and life that will result in an end to abortion and the orphan crisis.” This ministry is so beautiful in its approach to putting an end to abortion. They do this NOT by chasing down and shaming mothers, but offering prayer, a house of refuge and continued HELP and provision to make sure both the mother and baby are taken care of.
