Wow, it's amazing the peace that God grants. If my unemployment had happened at any other time, both Robin and I would have been freaking out. But God has definitely been granting us peace during this time and during our quest to find His will and join in with Him.
We are currently looking into two different CDTSes, one in Lebanon, PA, the other in Tyler, TX. What's really turning us off to the one in PA is that they usually do their outreach portion in the Ukraine, and we really have no desire to go there, but we'll see what God has in store for us. We really like the site of the TX one. You can see information on both schools here:

After the CDTS we hope to move to a small YWAM base in Creel, Mexico to help serve a tribe of Tarahumara Indians that live in the area around Creel. We've been looking at pictures of the area and of the people and are falling in love with both. My passion is to reach the unreached peoples of Mexico, and while the Tarahumara people aren't on this list we felt it would be a great stepping stone into the area of reaching the unreached people. According to joshuaproject.net there are 14 unreached people groups in Mexico. Our job as Christians is to bring the gospel to all the world making disciple of ALL nations. The use of nations in the Great Commission is not referring to the Geo-political nations that exist in the world today, but rather the different people groups that are present in the world. Reaching out to these people and bringing them the good news of Jesus Christ is an exciting and wonderful task that God wants us to undertake.

We trust in God's providence and are continually amazed at His goodness. We are feeling an incredible joy at being able to join with Him in His desire to bring His name to the world and bring the nations into worship of Him.
We continue to ask for your prayers as God guides us down this path.
P.S. I will try and and review weeks 3 through 5 of Perspectives soon.

I'm not really sure how DTS works, but can you do it at any YWAM base? Did you know we have one here in Monterrey? Also, there's a really nice one in Diriamba, Nicaragua (where we used to live). Our son is heavily involved with their King's Kids program, which is a monthly camp for teenagers where they go out and evangelize and minister in different churches.It's a really neat program.
ReplyDeleteHey Jan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting again. DTS is only available at certain bases. The program we would go through is a CDTS, for us "older" folks with families. We'd like to do the CDTS in the states to kind of break the kiddos, Caleb (8), Joshua (7)and Nathaniel (4), in a little at a time. We're not sure where the outreach will be yet, sometimes they don't decide that until during the training period has started. We hope that it will be somewhere in Mexico.
