Alex and Milena in a German DTS
Donation protected
Our story -
When I (Alex) was in Germany in January, leading a Discipleship Training School outreach team, God spoke nearly audibly to me. He told me that I was to come and help pioneer the first DTS at a new base in Bad Blankenburg, Germany. The voice was clear and the command simple - Go! After seeking prayer, counsel, and receiving confirmation, I decided to move forward into the command that I had received.
This summer, Milena and I got married! Milena has had the desire to do a DTS for 5 years, but it has never worked out. We see this as a chance for her to do the school so that she can continue to work with YWAM. With this in mind, we submitted her documents for her visa but she was denied. After prayer, we felt like God was saying, "Do you trust me?". So we decided to apply again - and were once again rejected. Again the voice of God, "Do you trust me?". We prayed and sought advice from others and even looked into some other schools around the world - but everything always came back to "Do you trust me?". So with hearts afraid to hope, we applied one more time. And God opened doors! Milena received her visa for Germany.
We have no doubts that God is calling us to Germany for the next three months and we would like to ask you to partner with us. The school will cost around $5,000 USD for 6 months (3 months of lectures and 3 months of outreach). I (Alex) will participate in the leadership team for the school, will teach the 3 month media journalism class that runs parallel to the school, and will lead an outreach team. Milena will be able to complete the DTS so that she can work with YWAM and help staff the DTS - our vision is to minister as a family! We will also serve together in the current refugee crisis.
Thank you for your prayers and support!
