The first week of the DTS was focused on introducing students to Youth With A Mission (YWAM), which is a global missions organization. They are also associated with The University of the Nations, which the DTS is accredited under. During this week we were taught about the mission of the organization and how the vision of YWAM came to be and how we would fit into that vision. It became very apparent that in order to go into the world and evangelize in the name of YWAM, that our personal lives would be challenged and our relationship with God would be tested. “Knowing God, and Making God Known” is the motto of YWAM. In order to do the latter, one must be genuinely seeking the former.
