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
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
We have returned from our “retreat” advance to Makapala for DTS staff bonding and to receive from God his plans for the school.

His faithfulness is awe-inspiring.
Over the past year, I’ve been trying to define what a missionary is in my own head, because I think God is calling me to be one. I think its an interesting topic for the church today also. How do you define it? and I think more importantly we should ask God how He defines it. Interestingly, here’s how the dictionary defines it:
God has been showing me just how jealous he is for my heart, your heart, and the hearts of the lost! Also, note jealousness is not like what we think of as negative emotion but probably more like zealous (here’s a cool study on God as a jealous God, http://bible.org/seriespage/jealous-god). The first revelation is in John 2:13-16. Jesus finds
The bible is a love story. Some of you might be saying,”No way, it’s just a book of do’s and don’ts. There is no plot, sure there are lots of characters, but they all don’t tie together. How could it be true?”
Here’s what I’m learning and God is revealing to me.
First of all, why did God create man? God wanted something to just
