I think this topic is touchy for many people. I am going to attempt to give you my honest testimony of the night. You can find more testimonies here: Andrew York (Leader), Josh Hjelmgren (Student), Elizabeth York (Staff).
We started our Mystery Fun Night with a movie that I watched in my DTS, Finger of God. Its meant to build faith in a God that heals, does miraculous signs and wonders and is moving around the world. The whole time during the
Its official. We have our outreach team and are heading to Dharamsala, India (specifically Mcleod Ganj). I don’t want to give out specifics in public of our ministries but you learn more by signing up for our E-mail newsletter. Signing up will allow you to get specific news when we are on outreach from September to December that we couldn’t share on this blog.
The AWAKEN DTS has begun! After all the preparation, prayer, thought, discussion, and meetings, the students and first speaker (Philip York) are here. Now begins a new phase, a transition from preparation to application. 59 students from over 12 countries have come to learn more about God. Its quite a task and quite a privilege that God has put us in this position. I can get quickly overwhelmed thinking about it beyond a day!
We are made to create. Think about it. The first sentence of the Bible has God creating and He has never stopped! It’s amazing that God chooses us to partner with him and create and in fact blesses us saying “Be fruitful and increase in number” (Gen 1:28). Also, God created all the earth and everything in it and he gave Adam the fun task of naming the animals. He loves when we partner
Andrew York (Awaken Leader) had carried the name Awaken for his set of ministries he set up. As the staff and leaders started praying and preparing for this year’s Classic DTS, we get a strong feeling that God is wanting to do more. The name Classic just didn’t sound right either. We started seeking another name and immediately things started happening that pointed to using Awaken. A friend of the
This week, my sister Kristin left on outreach. We have been hanging out as much as possible before she left and had a chance to have a sushi picnic the day before she flew to her outreach location. Its been great to see her step into her calling and thrive as discipleship training school staff. She is leading
The seas can be rough, but as long as the location is mapped out and we keep our eyes on the navigation, we will arrive at the destination in one piece.
I’ve been finding out how important discipleship is in life. I look back at my life and at how my dad and mom modeled to me how to live a honest, humble, practical life. On DTS,
I was skyping with good friends Gary & Anna Brndiar and they thought it’d be cool to post notes on some of the training we have been getting after hearing a few of the points. Jeremy West has been training staff about discipleship on base and off, tips for outreach, etc. He has such a wealth of wisdom and knowledge on the subject. Camille and I are try
We have returned from our “retreat” advance to Makapala for DTS staff bonding and to receive from God his plans for the school. Basically, we took 3 days and offered them up to God to do what he wills for us as a group and school. We knew one thing: God would meet and speak to us as He always does. His faithfulness is awe-inspiring.
