The decision to come to YWAM Louisville has drastically changed my life. My whole life had been surrounded by insecurity, confusion, and passivity. I was almost running out of hope and doubting God's actual existence when I got the chance to come to a discipleship training school. I grew up going to church and thought I knew who God was, but I was so wrong. God used YWAM Louisville to reveal who he is and how deeply he cares for me.

I knew I wanted to do a DTS when YWAM Louisville called me, and everything they described their base and school as fit what I was looking for. In DTS, I found friends as close as family, biblical discipleship, a transformed relationship with Jesus, and an opportunity to use my gifts in missions. I never would have imagined of going to the places I’ve been or the ways God has used me through YWAM.

In September of 2019 I decided to do a Discipleship Training School with YWAM Louisville. Prior to this decision I felt stagnant in my faith and I was longing to further my relationship with the Lord. My school helped me do this and more. I learned how the Lord wanted a personal relationship and what that looks like for me.
For the second part of my school I had the opportunity to go on an overseas mission trip to Southeast Asia for six weeks. My team and I were able to minister to the Hindu people. We taught English to students in schools, we shared stories to families in homes and we served food to widows in church. All with the purpose of sharing the love of Jesus and what relationship with him looks like.
