Hi everyone! I am thrilled to share I have been given the opportunity to attend the Discipleship Training School (DTS) with YWAM (Youth With a Mission) in Lakeside, Montana (June 17 – November 25)!
Over the past few years, I’ve faced some hard seasons and had to let go of things that didn’t hold eternal value. But through it all, God has remained faithful—never once leaving my side. In that refining process, He’s deepened my hunger to know Him more and to reflect His love to others. My life is His. And now more than ever, I want to live selflessly—for His glory, not my own.
WHAT IS YWAM DTS MONTANA?
YWAM (Youth With a Mission) is a global Christian missions movement founded in 1960. Its heart is to "know God and make Him known." The Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a 5-month program (June–November) designed to help young people grow in their faith and step boldly into missions. The first half of DTS is focused on training—diving deep into the Word, growing in our relationship with God, and learning practical tools for ministry. The second half is an international outreach, where we’ll take what we’ve learned and share God’s love with others around the world. This DTS has an “Endurance” focus, which means we’ll also be trained in backcountry hiking and mountain camping. This equips us to minister in remote villages while on our international outreach. Our outreach location will likely be in Asia but the specific country hasn’t been confirmed yet. One possible destination is Nepal!
WHY I NEED YOUR SUPPORT
This is more than an educational experience;
we’ll practice what we’ve learned by taking God's love to the nations. We’ll meet both practical and spiritual needs, being His hands and feet to a hurting world. The total cost is $11,000, which includes: Airfare & travel visas Training & outreach expenses Food, room & board I would be incredibly grateful for your prayers and financial support as I step into this calling!
WAYS YOU CAN HELP – PRAYER
I truly believe prayer is powerful. Please pray for provision, protection, and for God to work through this journey in powerful ways.
