JOURNEY practical steps in pursuing your dreams
Andy and Janine Mason
Introduction
Welcome to your Dream Journey! This is a resource developed by
Dream Culture to help you with practical steps in pursuing your
dreams.
Far more than a program, our dream is to inspire and empower you
with the keys to catalyze a culture of Dreamers… as it is in Heaven. A
Dream Culture is a community full of powerful relationships where the
impossible becomes logical - where everyone encourages and
empowers one another to discover their destiny and live out their
dreams.
Start by discovering who you are as a son or daughter of God. Next,
embrace what that looks like through your life as you connect with the
dreams and desires planted in your heart from before time began.
Together we get to walk out those dreams, one step at a time, then
inspire and encourage the people around us to do the same.
