YWAM DTS-Respect the Corners

Hello, family and friends. I am going to be attending a discipleship training school (DTS) with YWAM Kansas City starting September 30th. (For those who don't know, YWAM is the largest missions organization in the world.) This will be a six month program; three months of training at the Kansas City base, and then three months of outreach. The training I will receive includes biblical studies, evangelism taining, teachings on Jesus, and much more. Also, each DTS has a unique focus; the one I will be attending focuses on crossfit training. (Crossfit is a style of exercise that focuses on functional movements done in a very high intesity way. It is all aobut being able to rise to any fitness challenge and conquer it.)The idea is to train our bodies so we are able to to bring the gospel to places that the average person cannot go and in ways that require a certain level of fitness. Furthermore, because of crossfit's rapid and global growth, we can use it as a platform to bring the gospel to otherwise closed nations. I don't know where I will be going for the outreach portion; I will be finding out the forth week of the program. When I end the program I will come out with my level one certification in crossfit, a much deeper knowledge of the bible and of who God is, and unforgettable experiences.
       I don't know exacly how this DTS fits in with God's plan for my life, but I do know this is what I feel God is calling me to do and I am going to do my best to follow Him. It has all come so fast, but all of the different pieces have come together so seemlessly. Additionally, I have received a few words that have given me confirmation that this is the Lord will. My friend reminded me the other day that we don't need a specific individual calling to study the word, live in community, and preach the gospel. It's already in the Bible. Even if I am way off, I am still doing what God has called us all to do in some shape or form.
       I am still in need of quite a bit of finances. For the whole thing I will need about $7,000, but most urgently I need $2,350 by September 30th. If I do so I will recieve a 20%  reduction on the cost of the outreach phase. I would very much appreciate if you would take a minute and talk to the Lord to see if He leads you to sew into what I'm doing these next six months. If you don't feel led to give financially I would be very grateful for any prayer you send my way.  

Thank you,
Christopher Wilson

P.S. My friend is helping me start a blog; as soon as that is up and running I will post a link so that you can keep up with how it's all going.
