Karla Sabanovic
The dream and vision came from Karla Sabanovic's experiences, putting a God given desire to start a ministry to turn the hurting and broken into irreplaceable disciples for the kingdom. Karla grew up in a Christian family with strong morals and ethics. She graduated from Maranatha Christian Center in Arvada Colorado in 2000. She later moved to Phoenix, Arizona and while raising two children, began volunteering for the Phoenix Dream Center. This experience gave her a taste of what people go through and what it takes to rehabiliate the hurting. She had a passion for psychology, theology, and philosophy since High school, believing that all three are interconnected. The Dream Center only confirmed this. With a background in medicine, the desire only grew to help educate and give purpose and meaning to those that are lost. God put this vision in Karla in 2024, and we have been putting the vision into reality ever since.
Our Christ-centered team is a devoted group of professionals, counselors, and educators united by faith to restore hope and dignity to individuals of all ages. Grounded in God's grace, we provide trauma-informed care and substance abuse recovery to help individuals break free from addiction and homelessness. We believe in holistic transformation, combining spiritual mentorship with practical tools like GED preparation and job skills training to empower sustainable futures. Driven by Christ's love, our staff walks alongside every participant to foster true healing, purposeful living, and long-term stability.
