Men’s Program Manager

Hey everyone! My name is David Lance Whitlock and I am the Men’s Program Manager and classroom teacher at The Central Kansas Dream Center.

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

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

I spent the next 37 years wreaking havoc in the lives of those around me. A little over four years ago, the day after that ambulance ride, I cried out for help, of all places …Facebook.

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

My name used to be associated with arrest records now its associated with praise reports. From psych wards to ministry, from drinking to discipling, and from drugs to hugs!

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

Office Manager

Janet Stones grew up in central Kansas. She got her Associates Degree in Administrative Office Management from St. Charles Community College in St.Charles, Missouri. She and her husband, Mark, graduated from Rhema Bible College and they pastored a few churches over the years. Their son, Steve, lives in Kansas City.
Janet believes the Dream Center is a vital ministry for those who are broken and want to change their lives. The Christian based program that is used here at the Dream Center can help anyone who desires to commit themselves to bettering their lives. She was amazed to hear some of the testimonies of past graduates. Jesus is always the answer we need, and she believes the leadership team that is in place here at the Dream Center can help hurting and broken people just as God has helped them – through the help of the Lord Jesus Christ.
