DTS! Weeks 1-13!

Chelsea’s Ambient Light
September-November 2011
(WEEKS 1-13!)

First of all I want to apologize to all of you guys for being so bad at keeping you up to date & sending formal updates! Right now I am sitting at the base… a late night of packing before our promo tour!

It feels like last week was my very first week here and I was just getting used to awkward first impressions and hellos, and it is all ending! The next time we will be at the base-it is preparations for Thailand and we’re off!

So far out of DTS… The most impacting week for me was ‘Intimacy to Advocacy’ with speaker Morgan Perry. During this week she addressed the issue of the only way we can EVER be advocates for something is if we are in true intimate relationship with God and his will because God is the solution behind every problem. It is important to be proactive and act in these situations/do something, but not if those actions are the main focus and not Christ.

Morgan talked about how this example was shown exactly in Jesus’ life.  During once class, we read the entire gospel of John outloud. We saw how Jesus never tried to do anything by himself and everything he did was through his heavenly Father. Jesus never cared about doing miracles, healings, etc. all he cared was about seeing the kingdom of God spread.

WHATS COMING UP…..
November 6-November 11

This next week, our DTS will be going to a variety of churches & colleges to promote the base on a mobile tour in California. During this tour, we will be talking about the DTS(s), the types of ministries that our base runs, and human trafficking at YWAM Vegas. 

At each event, one of the students will be sharing a small portion about human trafficking, our own personal testimony, & a testimony about what we have gotten out of the school so far. During one of the events I will be sharing my testimony! At each of these times there will be an opportunity for us to talk to the people before/after and see what they thought. The purpose of this mobile tour is to get more people potentially interested in doing a DTS on a more personal/relational level. It also gives us as DTS students actual experience for if we go into missions, experience with what it is like speaking to churches, raising support, etc.
