How YWAM DTS Locations Have Grown

By Krystal Branch


YWAM DTS Locations are aplenty and are growing all the time. It is difficult to keep up with all of the mission bases all of the world and one has to think carefully before going off to one of these schools. It is a big decision that you must take which is why you must weigh up all of your options before you head off over there.

One usually takes part in a three month lecture phase and the other part is composed of a mission where you will go to some part of the world and preach the gospel. There could be a particular theme involved. You may go and help kids who have AIDS or you could evangelize by playing soccer or by surfing.

This can be something that will change your life and the experience will be something that you will remember for a long time to come. The location you choose will help determine this. Some of them have specific themes, such as something which is soccer focused or something which is geared for surfing if you are interested in that.

When the organization first started out in Hawaii, there were only a few locations, but this has grown and it is still growing. There are people who are staring up new training locations all over the world. Some are in cities and others are in rural areas. It just depends on where they have been called to go.

When you go on outreach there will be a couple of choices. Usually this depends on the number of students in the class, but normally there are two or three options available. Sometimes there is something local so you won't have to pay as much and there will be something which you may have to travel some distance to as well.

Some kids don't realize that you can get involved with Christianity if you are a skateboarder or a surfer because it is not the done thing. This is why it is nice to evangelize in a certain way by getting down to their level. You will perform tricks on skateboards and bikes and afterwards you will evangelize with them. This has been very successful.

During the time you have off, there is time to do some exploring and find out more about the culture and the people. You will also meet a lot of people, both during the course as well as when you are on the mission. Many people keep these friends for a long time and get to communicate with them on a regular basis. It is nice to meet up in this way.

There may be a few challenges that you will face along the way, but this is something that happens when you go on mission trips, and with the rewards, come other aspects that you will face. One must face this when it comes up. Overall, you will find that YWAM DTS locations offer a great variety and you won't be disappointment.
