YWAM Team Visits Las Misiones

There is a YWAM school called DTS in Peru. 
The DTS is a school of information, transformation, and formation. Students grow in Biblical Information and Character Transformation, and are given the tools for Ministerial Formation. The school is designed for: 1) Young Christian leaders who will return home to train other youth to be leaders in their church, denomination and city. 2) Those who have been called by God to full-time cross-cultural missions. (Taken from YWAM's website head over there for more information)
After three months of studies, the students are put in teams and sent out to do ministry for the next three months. So, in July two groups came to Santa Cruz with one group working at our church for a week.

It was announced that they were coming two days before they arrived and housing was needed.


We happily welcomed Annie, Janine, and Pamela into our home. It was such an enjoyable week getting to spend time with the team and specifically the girls we hosted.

One of the "God Moments" for us was learning that Pamela had applied with SAM, our mission, and had not met any SAM missionaries on the field. How amazing that she was housed with us where we could tell her first hand about the mission and show her the ministry here.

The team worked hard each day helping with construction and cleaning at the church and doing different outreaches in the afternoons plus leading services.


It was one of the highlights of our summer (and we miss you, Annie, Janine, and Pamela!)
