5 Life Lessons I Learned in YWAM
5 Life Lessons I Learned in YWAM

DTS and YWAM is not only about a 6 month journey, it’s about the rest of your life. 7 years in YWAM has taught me lessons I will not forget, here are 5 of them…

In the absence of wild revelation
In the absence of wild revelation

To be completely honest, I expected a grand revelatory experience there among the clutter of trees and electric yellow birds and crystalline (sometimes red) lakes...and I didn't have one. I kept waiting to be smacked in the face by spiritual understanding, or brought to my knees in unprecedented awe, and I never was.

Growing Pains
Growing Pains

If there is no hardship, no opposition, there can be no victory. To have victory is to overcome challenge,

pain and strife. Victories give us confidence, they give us strength to keep going. So why are we so quick

to shy away from the pain and discomfort of a challenge? It’s all in our perspective.

When You're Numb to Grace

The extravagant joy of true freedom saturated me for the first time, and I knew in the deepest parts of myself that I was forgiven, because I could feel it!

And then, I stopped feeling it.

New Beginnings

I arrived in the beautiful city of Brisbane; drunk and full of second-thoughts. I knew I was going to have to give up so many of my comforts and I wasn’t ready to delve into this YWAM way of living.

There was a time when no idea seemed more magical than that of being a grown-up. Countless hours of rigorous training were invested in “helping” in the kitchen, playing house, shuffling around in mom’s heels and pretending to...

Why I've Done my DTS 7 Times

5 years ago, I decided to fly 22 hours over my home country and the Pacific Ocean before reaching Brisbane, Australia. I figured a 6-month commitment of a Discipleship Training School (DTS) was short enough that I could easily back out if...

Choosing to Worship God with Thanksgiving
Choosing to Worship God with Thanksgiving

I’m learning as we worship God, he then begins to shape us like a potter shapes clay on a wheel. He longs to develop our will to his will for our lives as we exalt and praise him. When we do that, there is this shaping and forming...

The most amazing thing as a creative is that we have the choice to partner with God when we create. We always have a choice, and that is because God loves so much that He will never force us into doing anything. He gives us the choice. Just like we have the choice to have a relationship with God. This week MAD FEB is having lectures about relationships. #mad #dts #ywam #brisbane #ywambrisbane #seekgod #relationship #knowgod #ywamdts #learning
When Jesus said “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations”, he didn’t say that it always will be easy. Sometimes we have to squeeze into the back of a car to get there, often we have to overcome our fear and also to step out of our comfort zone. Are you ready and willing to go through that, to make God known? And are you hungry to know more of God yourself? - then sign up for the next pathfinders DTS starting August 14!🇦🇺🏕✈️🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️ #pathfindersdts #ywambrisbane #adventure #outofcomfortzones #hungryforgod #camping #august2019
Over the past 3 weeks Beach 2 Bush have very much enjoyed chilling in hammocks, sleeping under the stars and travelling to beautiful locations. They visited Stradbroke Island, Maleny and Lake Moogerah! Have you ever wanted to travel around Australia? Sign up for our August Beach 2 Bush! #beach2bush #b2b
Health & Fitness have been camping at Lake Moogerah this week. We had lectures on Evangelism and today we are driving to Surfers Paradise to apply what we have learnt.
“I use to think that God was distant and that I couldn’t really talk to Him, but now I know that God wants a close relationship with me, and that I can talk to Him and He will listen to whatever I say, and He talks back” Mathew Ostertag. On the Pathfinders DTS we learn more about Hearing the Voice of God while we hike on Fraser Island. #pathfindersdts #ywambrisbane #comejoin #hike #beautiful #backpackers #august2019
We had an awesome Wednesday evening „Open Worship“ in April was something special and thank you for everyone who joined in. We are excited to welcome you for our next „Open Worship“ event in May. What was your experience like? We would like to hear your story in the comments! #worship #brisbane #ywambrisbane #openworship „I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart. Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together. I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles. For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! Fear the Lord, you his godly people, for those who fear him will have all they need. Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.“ ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34:1-10‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“Fear of the Lord is loving what God loves and hating what He hates” This week, Health and Fitness have had lectures with Hosanna on the Fear of the Lord and Discipleship. We have been declaring truths and coming out victorious! God has moved.
