Hello, I’m Tavin. I’ve recently been called to staff the Kona DTS at YWAM Kona. Last year, I had the privilege of attending YWAM Kona’s Endeavor DTS, where I had a transformative encounter with Christ. During this time, I was sent to Cambodia to serve refugees affected by conflict with Thailand by teaching English, providing aid, and sharing the gospel. Through this experience, the Lord has instilled in me a sense of identity and a calling to guide and minister to those who are seeking Him and His love.
YWAM (Youth With A Mission) is a globally recognized Christian organization. It operates in various countries and offers a Discipleship Training School (DTS) where students from all over the world come together to deepen their faith and walk with Christ. The DTS program consists of three months of training followed by three months of mission work. During this time, students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in different missions, fulfilling the Great Commission.
As a staff member at the Kona DTS, my primary objective is to serve and disciple our students. I am also responsible for planning and guiding our team’s mission to a soon to be decided location. This role provides me with a unique opportunity to grow in my calling and live out my passion for spreading God’s love to people from all walks of life. Additionally, the dedicated leadership course that we offer will equip me with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively lead our students and team.
It brings me immense joy and pleasure to witness individuals experiencing the love of Christ and the transformative power of missions. I would be honored if you would consider partnering with me during this season. We seek your prayers for the students who will arrive, that they may fully experience the fullness of God’s love. Through that, let Christ’s love shine brightly, touching the hearts of people across the nations. Additionally, if you feel called to contribute financially, my goal is to raise approximately $6000. This amount will cover all essential expenses, including housing, transportation, food, and other necessities, for the next six months.
