Mobile Caribbean DTS 2013!!

Our upcoming Discipleship Training School (DTS) is officially set for January 2013; it will be a Mobile Caribbean DTS, which means we will be traveling to five countries in the Carib in five months! It is the perfect opportunity to escape winter, and enjoy sunshine! Feel free to spread the word, let your friends, family, and neighbors know.

Our big project at Ywam I.Net is this new DTS. And it is a lot of work getting a DTS up off the ground, not only do we have to get students (so please feel free to spread the word), but we also have to get staff members, speakers, and locations pinned down. I don’t think I ever realized how much work goes into the 6 months of discipleship that I went through last year.

None of this has hit home more than this last week, which I spent in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, at a DTS Staff Training. We spent 4 days talking non-stop about DTS, and I think I realized that staffing a DTS is a huge responsibility, but the full weight of the responsibility didn’t hit me until last week. Staff members of a DTS are taking on a role to disciple men and women from many nations to send them out to make a difference wherever God may lead them. I guess it is the same responsibility teachers, mentors, and pastors have, but after having completed my own DTS, I know how intense it is. In some ways, I don’t know if I can truly convey how powerful the process is because there is nothing like it. It is 6 months of you concentrating on God and God concentrating on you… and sometimes, that hurts. But, to be a staff member, we have to facilitate this. God is entrusting us with His people. That is a huge responsibility; thankfully, what happens is totally dependent on God and not on me J
