Lots Of YWAM DTS Locations To Choose From

By Jeannie Chapman


There are many YWAM DTS locations all over the world. This is an amazing organization which started in the sixties by Loren Cunningham and his wife, Darlene. The main base is situated in Hawaii, but there are many others in other continents where missionaries do a lot of good work.

A lot of young people do a DTS after school. However, there are courses which are designed for older people as well as those who have young families. Students who come to a base and meet others, know nothing about each other, but soon they become like brother and sister. People who do a course like this report how inspired they have been.

Locations have grown from the sixties over the years from humble beginnings to a time where there are thousands of places to choose from. One can go to a big city or a third world country. You may find yourself in the middle of nowhere, but there is also the chance to be in amongst the bright lights where it all happens.

The way in which ministry happens differs according to where you are, because there is also the language barrier that you have to deal with. You have to have a look at the gender issues and also at the age groups. You have to decide on what kind of things you are going to do in order to bring the word across. There are many ways to do this.

People find out a little bit about what you are interested in, and see how it can influence their lives and then they start to believe in the Word. This can be very powerful. You may have to share your testimony, but you don't have to stand up in church. It is more about your passion which God has given you.

This kind of sharing can change lives around. The one on one contact can really be helpful to people who are in need and need to know that there is someone out there who cares. There are a lot of people who need guidance in this world. These teams have helped millions of people in more ways than one.

It is not only those who have been saved on the continents like Asia, Europe, South America and Africa, but Youth with a Mission also works on Ships. They have a ship which goes out to people who are in need and minister to them. You will do your DTS here, and afterwards, you will go with the rest of the students to various third world countries on the ship.

There are some people who have serious conditions and would have never had the chance to see a doctor. In a case like this they would just have gone blind. After a doctor from a YWAM ship has dealt the situation, the patient in a country like Mozambique would be back on track. To them, this is like night and day. For the doctor, it is very rewarding in one of these YWAM DTS locations.
