The heart of YWAM - to worship God, to serve God's global purposes, and to champion young people.
My Story
From the moment I accepted Jesus into my life at fourteen years old, I knew that I wanted to devote the rest of my life to full-time missions, and specifically Youth With A Mission (YWAM). Both my dad and mom spent their twenties serving with YWAM and after hearing all the crazy God-stories from their time in missions and the places they had traveled to bringing the hope of Jesus and serving in nations all around the world - I knew that that was all I wanted to do with my life. Now, at twenty six years old, and eight years deep into serving with YWAM - I am more confident and grateful then ever to be devoting my life to reaching the unreached and serving where needed around the world.

What is DTS
Discipleship Training School (DTS) is an opportunity to discover your passions and your part in God’s purposes for the world. It is for those who long to follow Jesus in new ways with a different perspective. The DTS is a six month program blending classroom learning, small group activities, personal reflection, practical service, and community living. In the lecture phase (three months) your focus will be on knowing God, His Word and His world. You will seek transformation, a renewed mind, and personal growth. You’ll learn not only from teachers but also from community living and practical training. During the outreach phase (three months following the lecture phase) your class will break up into teams to serve God out in the world. You will have a chance to discover your abilities as you care for people and share the good news of Jesus.
