Carrying A Dream

Book Cover & Preview Text
We were all young and inexperienced in such ventures. None of us had ever been part of any type of major construction work. Only three of us had graduated from college, all with degrees that did not pertain to business, construction, or finance. For some, Sonshine Center was their first job. We were all under 30, void of experience, and lacking in finances. It felt like we were a few measures short of being clueless. Our only defense and confidence was the knowledge that we had soaked the whole dream in prayer and that God was going to be the Head Architect and Contractor. I am sure there were people all over the world that were thinking, “These guys are crazy! What are they thinking!? They don't have a clue!” That is what people said of Noah, yet God continued to guide him and the rains came. And God did the same for us.

This day camp grew into a center for street children called Camp Sonshine Center Foundation. Camp Sonshine International is in multiple locations around the world and continues to grow. The Landis Family believes that reaching the children of the world will change the world!
