about "why-wam"

What's YWAM? Well first off it's called Youth With A Mission and its mission is to "know God and make Him known." Where I will be headed is Kona, Hawaii one of the first and largest University of the Nations campuses. Once there I will be doing the summer DTS (discipleship training school).
Here is what it's all about:
"The Discipleship Training School (DTS) is designed to help you understand God more deeply, live more like Jesus and identify your unique gifts and purpose to use in missions. DTS is an intensive, residential training course which begins with an 11 or 12 week classroom phase, followed by an 8-12 week outreach. DTS emphasizes cross-cultural exposure and global awareness, preparing students to answer the call to "Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations" Matthew 28:19.


The Summer DTS will include elements such as:

• Learning to hear and obey God’s voice
• Coming to know the Bible as God’s handbook for life
• Understanding the world we live in and the importance of worship, intercessory prayer and spiritual warfare
• Discovering and walking in your God-given identity & destiny in Christ 

During the DTS outreach phase, you will be putting into practice all you have learned. Taking the Gospel to places where people may have never even heard the name of Jesus and participating in expanding God’s kingdom. This portion of the DTS is 12 weeks long and will take place overseas. Outreach activities will include evangelism, mercy ministries, teaching, preaching, and reaching out to present Jesus in a variety of other creative ways, which you’ll help to shape."
