My name is Spencer Horton, and I am embarking on one of the most significant journeys of my life.

I have been accepted into a Discipleship Training School (DTS) with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Switzerland — a five-month program that will reshape how I live, serve, and follow God. The first three months are dedicated to training, diving deep into Scripture, prayer, and what it truly means to live as a follower of Jesus. The final three months will take me into the field on outreach, where everything I have learned gets lived out in real and practical ways among real people.

God has given me two things I genuinely love, a passion for filmmaking/photography and a love for people. I have spent years developing skills behind a camera, learning how to tell stories through video, and connecting with others through conversation. But somewhere along the way, I began to feel a growing conviction that these gifts were meant for something far greater than I had been using them for. I want to learn how to fully surrender these abilities to God and use them intentionally for His glory. Not just as hobbies, but as tools for His mission. YWAM is exactly the environment where I believe that transformation will happen.

Through training, community, and hands-on outreach, I will learn how to bring the Gospel to people through media, storytelling, and genuine relationship. Whether that looks like documenting mission work, creating content that points people to Christ, or simply sitting with someone and sharing life. I want to be equipped and ready to do all of it well and with purpose.

This journey is not one I can take alone. The costs of the DTS program, housing, travel, and outreach expenses are real, and I am trusting God to provide through a community of people who believe in this calling alongside me.

Would you consider joining me? Your financial support directly makes this training and outreach possible. And beyond finances, I am asking for your prayers, for open doors, a willing heart, spiritual growth, and God's clear direction for how He wants to use my gifts on the mission field and beyond.
