"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branches cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me."
-John 15:2
I am so excited to be able to share with you an exciting opportunity that God has placed in my life. For a long time I have thought and prayed about what to do next in my life, and I have decided to take some time off to devote to the Lord. After much thinking and praying, I feel that the Lord has called me to be involved in Youth With A Mission’s Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Adelaide, Australia from early March 2019 to the middle of August 2019.
Youth With a Mission (YWAM) is an international and interdenominational movement of Christians dedicated to presenting Jesus in a personal way to this generation, as well as training, equipping, and mobilizing believers for their part in fulfilling the great commission. This is my chance! I want to be one who is spiritually, physically, mentally and socially equipped to share the gospel with others. I believe the Lord is giving me this opportunity to grow and be spiritually challenged. I am so excited to learn from and about God in this way!
DTS is a six month program with the first three months called the “lecture phase.” The emphasis of this phase is getting to know God better, His character, His will, intercession and worship, and God’s heart for the lost. The last three months will involve putting what I learned into action! This is called the “outreach phase” and entails going on a cross-cultural evangelistic and service-based outreach to another country. This DTS is designated as a "Abide” DTS. The heart at YWAM Adelaide is to know the love of the Father in such an intimate way that as we discover and explore who we are in Him, our response would be nothing less than a life fully surrendered.
The most important thing that you can do for me is to pray for me as I go through this transition in my life. I need prayer for wisdom, discernment, protection, direction, and for God to transform my life! I know that there is power in prayer, and I appreciate you taking the time to help me in this way .Another prayer concern is for financial support for the program. I will be raising my own support for this DTS. Because the outreach location has not been determined I do not have a fixed amount. I am so thankful for this privilege to serve the Lord and learn about Him in many new ways. I want to thank you in advance for your prayer and any financial gift you may feel led to give.
