Dustin's Dream

Dustin Lee Chamberlain was a Sophomore at Baylor University, majoring in Biology and pre-med when he left this world as we know it for his Heavenly Home.
(1)

Our Mission: Sharing the transformational love of God by meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of at-risk individuals and families in Guatemala and beyond. On December 15, 2011, after just returning home for Christmas break, Dustin was tragically shot and killed during a home invasion. Dustin was actively involved in the MSO (Medical Service Organization), AMSA (American Medical Service Organization), and the Bear Pit (a basketball spirit organization) at Baylor University. He attended Harris Creek Baptist Church in McGregor, TX. Dustin’s dream was to be involved in the medical field as well as participate in mission trips abroad or at home. Students at Baylor remember Dustin as a mighty man of God, an encourager, studious, and genuinely kind. When students questioned Dustin as to how he could consistently make wise choices and stand firm in his faith, Dustin would reply, “Because I love God with all my heart and I don’t want to give Him less than my best.”

Prior to his time at Baylor, Dustin attended Siloam Springs High School where he was a vital member of the basketball, cross country and golf programs. Dustin also participated in Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the Big Brothers and Big Sisters mentoring program, and was an Arkansas Scholar. Dustin graduated in May 2010 with 4.0 GPA. At 20 years of age, Dustin’s work here on earth was accomplished. And while our family has struggled to understand God’s sovereignty, love, and perfect will, God has proven Himself to us over and over again. Our desire is that Dustin’s Dream will be a successful organization that will share God’s love in a dark and hurting world, and that Dustin’s legacy will continue to impact souls for Christ.

We are so grateful for the privilege of giving back to our local community in this way! It’s exciting to think of the lives that will be impacted as a result of the next generation of grads. To God be the glory!

Thank you Dustin's Dream for helping SSHS grads dream big!

“For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” - Colossians 1:16-17

"Sharing the transformational love of God by meeting tangible needs..." is essential part of our mission statement at Dustin's Dream. The February trip was an example of this in action. Emilio is an 82-year-old man who our co-founder, Don, met this past October of 2025. At the time, Emilio told Don that he was sad, as he was losing his eye sight and could no longer see to read the small print of a Bible. This February, while Don was in Xenacoj with a team, they were able to connect with Emilio and gift him his very own large print Bible and magnifying sheet for reading. Emilio was elated and extremely grateful! We were thrilled that the Word of God was made accessible to someone longing to turn its pages. Thank you for your continued generosity that makes a difference in lives like Emilio's.

Meet Oscar. On Saturday, February 21st, a missions team comprised mostly of women from Grace Community Church in Bartlesville, OK, accompanied the regular staff to Xenacoj. They helped distribute the breakfast, shared their testimonies with the group, imparted the Word, and asked who might want to give their life to Jesus. Oscar stepped into the center of the circle and made the decision to give his life to Christ.

Oscar has a history of significant loss, alcohol and drug addiction, as well as suicidal ideation. He is currently residing at the Freedom House, and the Lord has done a dramatic work in this man’s life. You can read Oscar’s story here: http://bit.ly/4bvykOt

Final update!

FRI - The team stuck around the settlement area of the Guatemala City dump. They visited different homes, bringing with them bag of groceries and prayerful hearts as they conversed with families. After lunch, the ladies from the Celebrate Recovery ministry had a round table discussion with Pastor Saul and Dr. Layla to talk about the Freedom House and recovery ministry. That evening, the team served a warm meal to anyone and everyone in the settlement community who came to the feeding.

SAT - This morning was an early one as the team headed back to Xenacoj to worship with the men of the Freedom House. A member of the team shared her testimony and another led in the singing of “Lord, I Need You.” It was an encouraging time!
The rest of the day was spent primarily at the Guatemala City airport, as a delayed flight has made for a wrench in travel plans home. Please pray for smooth travels the remainder of the way and for physical health for the team 🙏🏼

The last two days have been an incredible time of ministry for the ladies from who have experience with recovery ministry!

WED - The team went to the Freedom House in the village of Xenacoj. There, they had the opportunity to do hair cuts and nails for women and men from the community, including many who currently reside in the Freedom House. They then took the Freedom House volunteers out to eat as a special way to treat them and thank them for the ways they serve the Lord and other men in recovery. It was a fun time!
Wednesday evening was spent back in the city at the peregrinos (“pilgrims”) service. Shelley shared her story of recovery that resonated with several. The team also continued doing hair and nails. The hope was that this would be a really tangible way to love on these individuals, would give them a greater sense of dignity, and would just be fun for all.

THURS - This morning, the team did home visits in Xenacoj. They were able to step into families’ homes and pray with families about the things weighing on their hearts while also delivering the gift of groceries. The afternoon was spent in Antigua, experiencing some of the beautiful culture of Guatemala and provided a bit of reprieve for the team amidst a busy week.

Thank you for your continued prayers! Tomorrow is the last full day there in Guatemala!

We’ve got a lot to catch up on from the last few days!

SUN - The team served breakfast to children from the settlement community and joined in on their Bible lesson before attending the 2nd service at Cristo es El Camino Iglesia Bautista. Later, they walked through the settlement to see the faces they would be serving and spend time praying for the community.

MON - This day was spent at Corazón de Amor (Heart of Love Clinic) in Zone 3. The team took on different roles - vitals station, pharmacy, prayer room - and spent the day serving many of the same faces they had seen the day before as well as several new.

TUES - Today, the team headed to the village of Xenacoj for a morning of clinic at Casa de Libertad (the Freedom House) and an afternoon of home visits. A clinic does not currently exist there in Xenacoj, so the team was able to provide care for people who would otherwise have to travel to access medical care. The village of Xenacoj is a beautiful place, but one burdened by the weight of generational alcoholism. It is rampant. The team ministered to various families and shared the hope we have in Jesus as well as gifted families with groceries during their home visits.

The final recap!

On Friday, the men constructed a roof for a family in Zone 3 of Guatemala City before visiting the homes of several families within the local community. That evening, the team served warm meals to the community within the settlements, feeding ~300. The roof constructed, the grocery bags delivered on home visits, and the warm meals administered all served as tangible reminders of God’s care and provision. Our hope is that providing these items alongside the Good News of Jesus brings hope and sparks transformation. The team of guys left the following day and journeyed back home to the States!

Keep an eye out as we share more updates from this week’s mission team of ladies from Grace Community Church in Bartlesville, OK!
