YWAM Supernatural Ministry DTS

Hello Friends,

I want to let you all know that I am going to be attending a Supernatural Ministry DTS (Discipleship Training School) through YWAM (Youth with a Mission) Alternatives Network in Toronto starting September 25th, 2011. I have sought the Lord about this and I feel He has spoken that I am to go. I have had in my heart to do missions work for some time now and it is time to take that first step.

The DTS consists of 5 months of intense training. 3 months of classroom teaching, training and mentoring as well as I am told some outreach opportunities in the Toronto area. This is followed by 2 months of an overseas outreach in Thailand to reach human trafficking victims with the love of God. The DTS also provides a student with 20 university credits towards getting a bachelors degree with the University of the Nations.

The DTS and all its specifics can be viewed at the below locations:

Of course I am writing this note as I am wondering if any of you would like to help support me as I go. The DTS cost is $3,495 for the 3 month classroom section, which included tuition, food, and accommodations. The 2 month overseas outreach to Thailand costs $3,500 for airfare and ground fees. I am selling my vehicle (once I have some body repairs done) to pay off my debt and to obtain part of the funds needed. Depending on how much I am able to sell my car for, I should still need another $1,000 to $2,000 to make it. Also, I need to make the first payment of $1,200 by August 25th, next week. Short notice, I know. I hope to have my car sold before I go in September. If I am unable to sell my vehicle, I would still like to go, but I would obviously need more funds then. I trust God will provide as it seems pretty clear He is directing me to go.

Feel free to contact me if you would like to help. If you would like to contribute, you can meet with me, send me a check, or use Paypal for cash or credit giving (support/partner tab). I am unable to give charitable tax receipts, I am sorry.

Please prayerfully consider it. Thank you so much. And of course I would love your prayers too :)

God bless,
Chris
