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…

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.

Why I Became A YWAM Filmmaker & Actor
Why I Became A YWAM Filmmaker & Actor

Not gonna lie when I first heard about YWAM’s film and acting schools I thought they were waaay beyond my ability to do, but then I realized, “Hey, it’s only three months and why not try it.” Ten years later and I’m living the dream. I love creating unique and compelling stories as a YWAM filmmaker and actress.

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.

But God
But God

I may not have all the words, but God does and is able to use mine. Perhaps, God will work on our behalf as we step out in faith.

Why God doesn’t like boxes
Why God doesn’t like boxes

A couple months later I find myself entrusted with leadership roles, lots of responsibilities and doing lots of relationship-building that I’m passionate about. Working alongside with friends. Sometimes it feels like I am inside the dream that I had as a young boy. I truly feel blessed to take my first steps in leadership in such an incredible surrounding 

When “Send Me” went from a cry, to a reality...
When “Send Me” went from a cry, to a reality...

For the past nearly three years the words "Send Me" were my cry from a place of never being content or feeling like I belonged. Little did I know that God had heard my cries, each and every time.

 

There is no denying it. This diverse and beautiful city is making waves in Australia. It is one of Australia's most beautiful, hippest, and fastest growing cities.  

"arguably Australia's hippest city", an "energetic river town on the way up, with an edgy arts scene, pumping nightlife and great coffee and restaurants". - Lonely Planet

"Brisbane has been ranked as more beautiful than Kyoto, Seville, Rio de Janeiro and astoundingly Sydney in a social media poll" - Rough Guides

"Brisbane is a thriving multicultural hub with a population of 2.2 million, making it the third-largest city in Australia. It also has the largest population growth rate of any capital city in Australia." - Bmag

Come check out the hippest city in Australia!

the city

Also known as the “River City”,  Brisbane is a green city with an enviable subtropical climate. It is one of the fastest growing cities in Australia and is known for its vibrant urban precincts, outdoor lifestyle, and friendly locals.

the beach

Brisbane is the gateway to heaps of beautiful beaches. It has easy access to the many sunny sandy surfs of southeast Queensland. Whether you're looking for a peaceful ocean-side escape, or a more lively experience, Queensland has got it all!

the food

Food and drink is something we take seriously here. Memories are made around meals, and Brisbane knows how to set a good table! We take pride in the art of cuisine...and coffee. Did we mention coffee? Nothing but the best.

The Pathfinders discipleship school starts in 2 months, and we really believe there are still another handful of people out there who will be a part of this school! Maybe you’ve been on the edge of choosing, or you’ve let yourself put the thought aside thinking, “Not right now...” We would love to encourage you to pray about taking this jump with us - and invite you to adventure alongside us as we venture into the wilderness and into the heart of God, together! Check out our brand new Pathfinders video on YWAM Brisbane’s Facebook, and if you have any questions - ask away! We’re ready for you! 💫 #ywam #ywamaustralia #brisbane #gapyear #adventurewithGod #findyourpath #getoutside #pathfindersdts #dts #doadts #hungryforGod #seekandyouwillfind #backpackers #backpackersdts #knowGod #makeGodknown #missionaries #adventurers #bebrave
“Adventure with God is awesome! I really like to go on adventures in general, but it’s just so much more fulfilling when it’s with God.” That’s what we do on the Pathfinders DTS, which starts in a little under 3 months - and there’s still room for more students! Going on adventures with God can look like a lot of different things: Sometimes it looks like climbing to the top of a mountain and being awestruck... Other times it looks like sitting still and listening to His gentle voice. And sometimes, it looks like taking action! Like in this picture, where one of our teams travelled to India with the desire to tell the beautiful kids in the slum just how much their Father in heaven loves them. So come join the adventure - but hurry and apply soon 😉 #pathfindersdts #adventure #loveisanaction #applynowonline #hearingthevoiceofgod #hungryforgod #freeyear #travel
What kind of decisions would you make if you were totally unhindered by fear? There is no greater adventure than understanding more of who God is. The one who cradles the universe and breathed life into humanity is always calling us deeper... Where is He calling you? The Pathfinders DTS starts in a little under 3 months - come join us for the adventure! // #pathfindersdts #ywam #exploreaustralia #findyourpath #adventureseeker #backpackerstory #travelpreneur #findyourselfoutside #discovergod #nomadiclife #seekmoments #getoutstayout #choosemountains
PRAGUE // We send teams several times a year to Prague and the Czech Republic because we believe God has called us to go into Europe and call the people back to their foundations of faith. We believe Prague is a key influential hub in Europe. We have cultivated relationships with Christian leaders, and sent a long term mission team there to because we believe Europe is at the cusp of an awakening, and our prayer, worship, and preparation is all to hasten it's coming. The Czech Republic is known as the least religious nation in Europe, but we believe God is on the move! This coming Wednesday night we are going to pray and worship over the the Czech Republic, that God would awaken the people to His love, that strongholds over the nation would break in Jesus name, and there would be a mass revival of the people! Join us 7-9pm this Wednesday 29 May. Everyone is welcome to come!
