Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Surprises Ministry Helping People in Need: ‘God Works in Powerful Ways’

Hollywood star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson surprised people at the Dream Center in Los Angeles.

Matthew Barnett, the center’s founder and pastor of Angelus Temple, told Faithwire he was working in his office when he got a call that Johnson’s wife, Lauren Hashian, would be dropping by with donations for an expectant mother.

When he went to help her with the items – a crib, stuffed animals and more – that’s when “Fast X” actor jumped out of the vehicle to meet the woman his family was helping.

“Great to meet ‘mama to be’ Zaynah and congratulations on the baby!” he wrote in a post on Instagram, adding that he took his “lil’ tornados” with him.

“Dream Center is doing amazing work for our brothers and sisters who are struggling and broken – the mana is real when you shake these hands and feel these hugs,” he wrote. “We’ve all been there a time or two and struggling people don’t need a hand out – they just need a hand up.”

The retired professional wrestler also talked to many others, including Charles, who Barnett said went through their yearlong recovery program.

“Universe & God works in powerful ways bringing people together,” Johnson added, saying he was “blessed to receive” Charles’ beautiful testimony.

“Not only did he treat her like the most important person in the world he stayed and listened with a heart of extraordinary compassion to her and anyone,” Barnett said. “I realized very quick that this man not only cares about peoples immediate need but he cares about their potential. I’m still in awe by his extraordinary humility and the spark of hope that he brings to the world.

“The Rock” is known for his generosity to fans and donations to support communities. I’m encouraged to see how he takes time to give back after such a successful career.
