What To Know About YWAM DTS Locations

By Essie Osborn


Voluntary organizations have spread their wings and there are many of them to choose from. There are almost too many, and this is where you have to be selective, depending on what you are looking for. YWAM DTS locations are aplenty and have been growing steadily over the years. They are one of the most popular organizations to attend.

This was started by Loren Cunningham in the sixties and has continued to grow and spread across the world. There are many places that you can train to be missionary, if this is your calling. It may not be something in doing for the rest of your life, because some people even enjoy doing it as a gap year. There are different types of courses as well.

Once this three month period is up, then you will move onto a country of your choice, where you will go on mission and participate in various events. You should try and do something which you know you are good at. Some people are givers, and others are encouragers. Many people prefer to get on the stage and talk to others, but that is not for everyone.

There is something for everyone to get involved. You can be more introverted, but you can still feel that you are helping out. You will also feel that you are getting out of your comfort zone, and everyone needs to do this. There will be many rewards while you are participating in a program like this.

During this time there are various things that students get involved in. It is a three month theory course, with a little practical of going to the communities and doing some mission work. Most of the time they will be in lectures and learning about the Christian faith. They will also be preparing for the up and coming mission trip.

This is something that you have to think carefully about and often it comes down to money, because a lot of the locations cost more than others. This is because of the exchange rate. Some countries will cost more than others to live in. A country like Thailand won't cost as much as a place like Tokyo, so this is something you have to take into consideration.

Sometimes people find it challenging working with other team mates because you will have to live with them as well. Much of the time the conditions are not good and the facilities are not that descent. However, this is something that you have to get used to and you have to realize that it is part of the mission trip.

There may be a particular program that is only available at one base and it is not on offer anywhere else. There are many things that you can do after your DTS, and you may want to plan for that. Some people feel that they have a special calling to be full time missionaries, but you need to do this course before you can start to work for YWAM.
