Ben Swartz and Jordan Powell are the co-founders of Dream On Global. Ben and Jordan started this non-profit with the hopes of empowering people of all ages and walks of life to pursue their dreams. The organization started just over a year ago while the two friends were having breakfast at the Lucky Steer Restaurant in Wapakoneta.
"It just sort of happened," said Jordan. "Ben had asked me to have breakfast with him so I could give him my thoughts on how to promote some mission work he was hoping to start." Before long this conversation turned into something much bigger than their giant hotcakes. It birthed an idea that is bringing hope to thousands of people all across the world.
Dream On will be hosting two Dream On Conferences this year. The first will be held locally on Saturday March 25th in Botkins, Ohio. The second will be held in San Padro Sula Honduras in the fall. "We wanted to make an impact both locally and globally," said Ben Swartz. "We know that the idea of pursing your dreams is something that people struggle with all over the world."
The team of volunteers has been able to raise over $27,000 to date for both conferences from local sponsors and donors. "We are totally amazed at the way God has provided for us, but certainly not surprised," said Jordan.
The March 25th Conference will be held at Only Believe Ministries who graciously donated their facility to host the large event. The conference will feature Derek Johnson of Jesus Culture, Jimmy Needham, Matt Hammitt of Sanctus Real, Howard Worship and other regional speakers and artists. The conference will feature dozens of breakout sessions, 3 main sessions and a final concert to end the evening. "We are so excited about the lineup of artists that we will have for the Conference." said Ben.
