Men’s Program Manager

David Lance Whitlock is the Men’s Program Manager and classroom teacher at The Central Kansas Dream Center.

He was born here in Great Bend but spent his life running from the call of God!  In 2019 after an emergency room visit for a heart attack, he knew with everything he had done in his life, if he didn’t change,  he would die and would not be in heaven.

David was raised going to kid’s church. He cried when he was too old for kids’ church camp. He had been introduced to God but at age 13 , he was also introduced to the most destructive and addictive behavior…himself.  Me, Me, Me!

David spent the next 37 years wreaking havoc in the lives of those around him.  A little over four

years ago, the day after that ambulance ride, he cried out for help, of all places …Facebook.

One person heard  David and reached out and said, “Miracles are happening in Great Bend! Call The Central Kansas Dream Center (CKDC).”

David says his name used to be associated with arrest records.  Now it’s associated with praise reports. He went from psych wards to ministry; from drinking to discipling; and from drugs to hugs!

David says, “As an alumnus of the CKDC, I have experienced and once suffered life controlling issues. But with God’s never ending grace, forgiveness and healing, I have overcome! Now, I am honored to lead others who are needing help and willing to discover God and His purpose for their lives.”
