Discipleship Training School in...

ENSENADA, MEXICO!!

Hola! I'm excited to tell you that I have enrolled this fall in the Discipleship Training School (DTS) with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Ensenada, Mexico. I will be sure to keep you up-to-date about all my adventures here, and stay in touch while I am away!

WHAT IS A DTS? The Discipleship Training School (DTS) is designed to encourage young people toward personal character development, cultivating their relationship with God, and identifying their unique gifts and callings. After completing the DTS, I believe that I will be more prepared to work with current and future generations of students in ministry, as well as respond to the call in the Bible that says to“go into all the world and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19).

The DTS is an intensive Christian discipleship course beginning with 3 months of teaching followed by 2 months of field assignment. During the lecture phase, I will receive Biblical training on topics such as worship, intercession, spiritual warfare, and God’s heart for the lost. After completing this part of the training, I will take part in an outreach in Latin America where I will be able to practically use what I have learned in a cross-cultural setting. I am really excited about this opportunity to combine my degree in Spanish from IWU and my ministry experience there with the new lessons I am learning here.

For those who don't know, Ensenada is just 2 hours across the border from San Diego. The drive is absolutely beautiful, as it is right along the Pacific coast. Here are some maps, to help clarify exactly where I am...

Looks great!!

I've wanted to do that for some time but can't seem to grow mine long enough so that taking away 10 inches leaves me feeling like I still have hair.
