"I often say that our DTS leaders and staff are the
most important people in YWAM, because the DTS is the doorway to the mission.
'As the DTS goes, so goes the mission' - people are either ignited with a
passion for God and His world and want to get on board, or they look elsewhere.
So our DTS leaders/staff need to have infectious faith, irreproachable
character and be well equipped! I encourage all DTS leaders and staff to pray
about attending DTS Equip. I know Jeremy West to be an outstanding DTS
leader/trainer, and the YWAM Montana base has a reputation for running great DTSs.
Come learn from them and other excellent leaders in the field of DTS!"
Darlene Cunningham, Co-founder, Youth With a Mission
"I have not
talked to one person that has done this training that
has regretted it. Many of them regretted they did not get
this quality of training and equipping sooner. I give my
strongest recommendation I can give for DTS Equip."
Ron Brewster
YWAM Montana Base Director, 2002-2010
"Equip was one of the biggest times of growth in my life, it was so much more than just a schooling about DTS curriculum but it grew me tremendously in who I am as a leader, from topics of "everything we do communicates" to "the fear of God". Equip really shaped who i am in Christ.
I fully recommended this school to anyone wanting to grow not only as leaders but as lovers of people and Christ."
Caleb Gippert, DTS Staff, Bangkok Thailand
'My greatest takeaway from DTS Equip is the importance of implicational thinking and living – making decisions that will influence the future. It is about seeing how my decisions will affect not only my own life, but those whom I influence. I have also realized the importance of seeing someone as a whole person, discipling from the root level and allowing the Lord to give me His eyes for them. In terms of my personal discipleship, I see how crucial God-given vision is to life - to bring purpose to my decisions and hope to my heart, acting as a sort of compass that guides my everyday living in the direction of that vision.'
Allysha Henderson, DTS Equip 2011
"DTS Equip
is an engaging training opportunity for DTS leaders and
staff. I highly recommend both the leadership of DTS Equip as
well as the program they have designed."
Maureen Menard, VP Leadership and Staff Development, University of the Nations
"DTS Equip is
a superb leadership training program that takes upon the principles of
leadership through the refining of character and always points people back to
Jesus. That's precisely what makes it so powerful. It is great for DTS staff
too."
Kevin Tsui, Discipleship Staff, YWAM San Francisco
"DTS Equip is an excellent program that will give
you the tools to be a better discipler and leader. It is therefore a program
that goes beyond the boundary of DTS and I would highly recommend it for any
school staff or individual called to ministry."
Dawn Masucci, International Speaker and Leadership Coach
"All of our YWAM Montana DTS staff go through DTS Equip. It
has been the best staff training program to help them feel prepared and trained
to staff DTS lecture phases and outreaches. DTS Equip is about being a
disciple first and developing leadership giftings, so I highly recommend DTS
Equip for all DTS school leaders, staff, base directors, other YWAM secondary
school staff, and those wanting to grow as leaders of God's people."
Jeff
Wilke, YWAM Montana DTS Director
"My biggest takeaway from DTS Equip was a leadership mindset
and skills, the importance of being a disciple first always, and servanthood. I
think being a disciple first and 'leading from your knees' is an
incredible formula for leadership.
I cannot imagine staffing DTS without the knowledge and wisdom I gained from
DTS Equip. What I learned during the six short weeks at DTS Equip would have taken me a lifetime of mistakes to learn on my own."
Alisha Esmail, Discipleship Staff, Foundations of
Community Development
"DTS Equip is one of the most
foundational, Biblical and practical leadership development programs that I
have participated in – both in my professional and YWAM careers.
This school is ideal for those seeking to be leaders of leaders. No
matter how long you have been in leadership, this school produces leadership
fruit that lasts."
Nathan Russell
YWAM Montana DTS School Leader
"The
DTS equip was awesome. Two of my favorite topics were 'servant
leadership' and 'valuing the individual'. We also talked about how to
disciple students from difficult backgrounds. It made me think about my
own family upbringing as well as how this would help me reach into the lives of
others. It helped me to understand more of how DTS works and networking…
Dina Sor, DTS School Leader, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
"The worship was great and real unity was there. Each day I found
that our leaders/we were sensitive to the Holy Spirit and were open to what he
was doing in our lives. We were served in ways that we never expected. The
leaders, they really helped to build our confidence because of how we were
valued.
Right now I am leading a DTS and the Equip helped me to see people through
God's eyes. I'm seeing the inner person and it has helped me to cooperate
with what he is doing with each one of the students. I now see the
purpose and destiny that God created them for. I now know how to serve
and really just be who I am. I'm comfortable just hanging out and being
with the students. Not out of a position, but out of a desire to just
love people. Being a missionary out on the field you're focused on the field. Now I
can focus on the person that God is taking to the field. I advise and challenge any person doing or leading a DTS to take this
course!"
Blessings, Sharon. DTS School Leader, Grenada
It is a joy to let you know that the DTS Equip
is truly an amazing tool for leadership development, the whole program is so
conducive for growth and is geared to develop the individual to fulfill his/her
calling to disciple people.
