My life was really upside
down when I first did my dts. I have no idea what a dts
or Disciple Training School will be like to me. I've
been around alot with missionarys like Tony D'allesandro from
US, Ben Story from England and Rogger Sutter from
Swizerland. I've seen their lifes and leadership. And so
the last week came for the dts to start. I didn't have
any money for my lecture fees. my family owned a farm,
so how do you think I get my lecture fees?? I gave a
whole COW to the school. and that covers my lecture
fees. What a great idea!! anyways, God really spoke to
me during our first 6 weeks of lecture. Everything to me
was like, !!BANG!! |

"is that really who God is?"
I mean I've done alot of bad things in my life and why
does He still chose to say He loves me?. That question
was in my mind till the end of our 3 months lecture I
found out why He loves me and my Identity in Him. I
realise it was the right moment of my life that I was
blind and stumble but God brought this Leaders from no
where and bring them to an Island just to fullfill the
great commission in Mattew 28:16-20. YWAM Vanuatu has
been a huge blessing here in our Capital Port Vila and
the other islands. Ywam Vanuatu has impact alot
of young youths and also the churches around our local
communitys. I was glad that through Ywam Vanuatu God has
open a door for me to go and work with the Ywam Island
Breeze. Now am staffing a dts here in Sydney and we're
leaving for outreach to Amstardam and France. Now
looking back to the begining of my journey it was
amazing and I know God is writing me a book and its not
yet complete its still continue. well to finish off, I
just want to congratulate Ywam Vanuatu on behalf of all
young ex-nivans dts students who are now serving God in
other nations. May God blessed your Leadership and your
Future Vision to upgrade our nation. |

I would say the Discipleship
Training School is the best way to escape out of the
prison which life in this world can be for some. I am an
example of that. I was such a prisoner within my own
life when I joined DTS when I was 18, but in DTS I found
a key to open the gate of my own prison and escape. The
staff at YWAM were great, |
encouraging and lifting us
up all the time. I felt so much love, the kind of love
that had never been given to me before. I was able to
release all my burdens to Jesus Christ and truly made
Him Lord and Savior in my life. The DTS helped me to
become free from all the negative things I was trapped
in and the school helped me to step into that freedom
that can only come from God.
During DTS, the Lord gave me a ‘handlebar’ to hold on
to, knowing that I am special to God and that He loves
me and cares for me: Psalms 31:16 “let your face shine
on your servant; save me in your unfailing love”
For people out there who find themselves trapped in the
same place as I was, DTS is a wonderful place to start
getting free.
