“Tanzania is a nation of children. We are very thankful for the generosity of the DDT family, which enabled us to invest in our two schools in Tanzania to engage, equip and empower the most vulnerable children to discover and fulfill God’s purpose for their lives.”

Our Impact
There are many non-profit organizations doing amazing work throughout the greater Dallas area. We specifically seek Christian non-profit organizations where our funds can help elevate their mission, expand their “reach,” and improve their results.
Choosing where best to apply our funding is always difficult. We continually wish we had more to give. But along the way, we have been honored and blessed to support some outstanding mission work.

Men of Nehemiah
Rebuilding Lives, Restoring Families
Men of Nehemiah is a Christian organization that exists to rebuild the lives of men who have been torn apart by the effects of drug and alcohol addiction. They serve each man as he is restored to the person God created him to be, reunited with his family and community.
For over 12 years, Men of Nehemiah has been bringing effective, lasting transformation to the lives of men and their families in South Dallas.
Their model is completely unique, combining the latest in research-backed clinical services with compassionate spiritual direction and a one-of-a-kind military structure.
How are We Helping?
About 30 Dallas Dream Team members visited the Men of Nehemiah campus in February of 2022. We were impressed with the staff as well as the entire program. However, in a moment that can only be described as “The Holy Spirit,” we were serenaded by these incredible men and the earnest sharing and encouragement that attendees … men and women … experienced that day will be long remembered.
Dream Team funds are being utilized to add important family counseling services, which will aid in the “re-entry” of men into the family home. We look forward to more opportunities to witness and support this amazing ministry.

Our Calling
Loving Our “Homeless” Neighbors
Our Calling is a faith-based organization that leads the homeless to live a healthy and sustainable lifestyle by building lasting relationships and making disciples on the streets.
Over the course of a year, many people in Dallas County find themselves without a home. Whether as a result of mental illness, diminished opportunity, unfortunate life choices, or violence and trauma in their past, these individuals have lost hope, lost faith, and lost sight of their true path.
How are We Helping?
Our grant enabled Our Calling to complete a project to build out a “women’s” intake facility, separate from the men’s facility. All too often, women are unable to escape difficult and/or dangerous environments unless they are removed from the situation in order to expose their “truth” and get assistance. The separate facility will help to ensure finding the right situation for many women.
