Imagine a dark room, no visibility, not even to see a hand in front of your face. What feelings and emotions would swell inside? Would you panic, frantically looking for a way out? Would you give up, slumping into a ball of hopelessness on the floor? As you strain to see something, anything, you notice a shade on the far side of the room, a hue of light. The closer the light comes, the more visible the room becomes. A person enters a torch in hand, lighting your face and theirs along with the rest of the room. Your heart leaps because you see something that will bring relief to the weariness that dwells in the core of your bones. You see Hope.

“The people who were sitting in darkness saw a GREAT LIGHT, and those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death upon them a LIGHT DAWNED.” Matthew 4:16

Do you want to be the torchbearer, bringing light to those who have no light? Do you want to be the one lighting the faces of those who sit in darkness? Do you want to be part of something radical, yet relevant? The Nations2Nations July DTS is the place for you.

Lecture
Do you desire to know God intimately, hearing His voice personally for yourself? Do you what to know who you are in Christ and what it means for how you live?

The DTS is about 2Pet 1:5-7 – Imparting deeper faith, cultivating a stronger character, and increasing knowledge of how to live it all out in a radical, yet relevant way. It is about creating a 24hr live learn environment where getting to know God, yourself and those around you goes deeper than you have ever dreamed. It is about receiving training from qualified lectures who help you to understand God, his ways and His world. It is about sharing Jesus in creative ways that allow people to fall in love with Him more.

Field Assignment. (Outreach)
God has clearly spoken to us on how to be strategic and intentional in the area of outreach, so that, we will be able to see long-term, lasting fruit in the places we are going. We will revisit some of the locations we have gone to in the past, building on relationships to see the Gospel penetrate society on a deeper level.

Thailand – in the north of Thailand there is an unreached people group known as the Shan People. As the DTS, we have adopted this people group and have committed to sending teams to this location to see this people group radically changed by the Gospel. Do you have a heart for Thailand – a heart for unreached people groups? Here is your chance to be part of the pioneering of something new and to populate heaven with those who have little representation. In doing so, you will work toward the call of Rev 7:9, having “…every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the lamb…”

South Africa – We want to invest in the place where we are, therefore we will have a team doing the outreach phase in South Africa, most likely in a few different places. One will be up north, in a town known as Steinkoff, a colored community that has so much potential, but needs encouragement. This poorer community, submerged in addiction and heartache, but in this community dwells hope. Will you be one that will call forth that hope? Will you be someone that will work to disciple a young person that will transform their community?

What’s Next:
Upon completion of the July 2010 DTS, you will then have the opportunity to apply for staff on any YWAM Base internationally, or to go on to do more schools to further equip you for your calling. There are many different roads you can take in YWAM, the possibilities are endless, the sky being the limit.

Come to the DTS, friendships will be forged, your worldviews and understanding will be sharpened and you will overall be refined. This is an adventure you cannot afford to pass up; the adventure is waiting…
