The Beginning- My DTS (Originally Written 15/03/11)
The beginning of an amazing journey! I am about to complete the lecture phase of my DTS in Worcester, South Africa, it has been an amazing experience, where I have had the privilege to be taught by great and anointed people, teaching the simple truth of God through a great programme.
1.The word of God-Erin Pennigton
2.Holy Spirit week-Stefaan Hugo
3.Discipleship-Fiona Gifford
4.Father Heart of God-Rich Hodge
5.Character and nature of God-Holger Schein
6.Spiritual Warefare and Worship-Pieter Mc Karthy
7.Sexuality-Frans Cronje
8.The work of the cross-Cliff Canipe
9.Calling in Mission-Dave
I also went on a survival camp for 4 days...NIKO! It was really challenging but learnt life lessons that I don't think could be taught to me any other way.
Through out my DTS, I have learned so much, I have recieved so much, healing, learnt to let go of so much that was holding me back from an intimate relationship with God.
A few things I learned that would impact the rest of my life as a missionary.

Through out my DTS, I have learned so much, I have recieved so much, healing, learnt to let go of so much that was holding me back from an intimate relationship with God.
A few things I learned that would impact the rest of my life as a missionary.
· Everyone is a missionary, it doesn't matter where in the world you are or what you doing, you have the calling over your life to make God known.
· As Christians we gotta get up and start walking, we can't wait for something amazing to happen, we gotta make the amazing happen, with all glory to God obviously.
· The Father Heart of God, as well as the Mother heart of God, was absolutley mind blowing, just realising His love for us, it's so easy to say "God Loves me" or "God Loves you", but we don't always understand how much he actually loves us! AGAPAO-The love that cannot be associated with human love, because it's unconditional, it is the love God has for us.
· The authority He has given us, we have all the authority, satan has no power, any power that he has, we give him, we allow him into those areas of our lives, and thats quite amazing to know that we as humans have been given authority over satan.
· ALL SIN IS UNDERSTANDABLE, FORGIVEABLE AND CORRECTABLE!
· "We cannot be shocked by sin, we are capable of anything" -Fiona Gifford
· Jesus has been there from the beginning (Tree of Life)
· New perspective of Holy Communion - "Your Quality of life is determined by what you eat!"
· ROMANS 6- I am DEAD to sin, and ALIVE in Christ. and Christ is in me, and always has been and always will be, and when He died on the cross, I was there and died with Him, I AM DEAD TO SIN, AND ALIVE IN HIM!!!
· Obedience is a big deal when it comes to God's will for your life, it's so easy to say, "God I want your will to be done" But are we always willing to do that craziest things for God and simply be obiedient in everything we do?
Those are just very few of the amazing things I learned, there is so much more, but one thing is for sure, that my life has changed, and, I hope that the change in my life can change other peoples lives to just get closer to our AMAZING God.
With all this we have been doing local outreaches where I have been blessed enough to go to a farm outside Worcester, and minister to Kids there with a few other amazing friends in my DTS, those kids were a great blessing to me, and I hope that I imparted something into their lives that will help them in the furture, because they blessed me so much and taught me so much.
Now as I come to the end of my lecture phase, I prepare for my Field assignment, I will be going to India for two months, not knowing what to expect, but totally trusting God to use me and stretch me, wherever he wants to use me.
I've already made such amazing friends here, I never thought I could get so close to people in such a short period of time, but this DTS has been life changing and I have made life long friends, that I hope I can do future mission work with!
YWAM has opened many doors for me, all over the world, and i'm just so excited for what God's doing but not only in my life, but in the lives of everyone on my DTS. We are an amazing group and God is gonna use us in amazing ways.
PRAISE GOD!! <3
