Hi! We are Jocelyn and David!
After getting married this August, we will be heading to the YWAM (Youth With A Mission) base in Bozeman, Montana, to attend their 6-month Discipleship Training School!
At the YWAM Bozeman base, the vision for the Discipleship Training School (DTS) is centered around worship, prayer, and calling a generation to fulfill the Great Commission. It’s a place where students encounter Jesus, are refined in His presence, and discover their purpose in His story. What begins in the prayer room becomes a movement in the nations.
YWAM’s DTS is a 5–6 month intensive program — three months of training followed by three months of outreach to the nations. The heart of DTS is to lead students into deep friendship with Jesus and into a life defined by one thing: to know Him intimately and make Him known in every nation.
Together, we are excited to pursue youth ministry and worship ministry. We believe this season at YWAM’s Discipleship Training School will prepare us spiritually for the life God is leading us into. Through worship, prayer, discipleship, and outreach, we will grow deeper in our relationship with the Lord and be equipped to share His love wherever He sends us—whether that’s serving our communities, mentoring youth, or sharing the gospel around the world.
Our heart is to bring what we learn back into the places God calls us, living missionally and investing in the lives of others.
We also know this journey isn’t something we walk alone. Many people have a heart for what God is doing in the world, but may not have the opportunity to go themselves. By partnering with us in prayer and financial support, you become part of this mission. Your support helps send us to be the hands and feet of Jesus—sharing the gospel, serving communities, and helping build God’s kingdom both locally and globally.
As we prepare for this season, we need to raise $22,000, which will cover our housing, food, training, and travel expenses for the full six months.
Because neither of us will have an income during this time, we are trusting the Lord to provide through the generosity and prayers of those who feel led to partner with us. Every gift—no matter the amount—helps make it possible for us to say yes to what God is calling us into.
We would appreciate your prayers!
Please pray:
That God would use our “yes” to impact lives and bring more people into His Kingdom
That the Lord would give us boldness and courage as we share the gospel
That during these six months, God would equip us for the callings He has placed on our lives individually and as a couple
Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story and for praying into what God has for us and His kingdom! We are expectant and excited to see how God will move. Your prayers and support truly mean the world to us.
With gratitude,
David Stamper & Jocelyn Turner
