YWAM Brisbane DTS

Dear friends and family,
God has blessed me with an amazing opportunity. Recently I applied for a Music, Arts, and Dance Discipleship Training School (DTS) at Youth With a Mission (YWAM) in Brisbane, Australia, and was accepted. It is a 6-month long training program, beginning October 7, 2015 through April 16, 2016, in which I will be studying the Bible and taking classes for 12 weeks, followed by an outreach for another 12 weeks. Staff prayerfully picks the outreach options, and after arrival, the students pray about the location to which they feel the Lord is calling.
I have taken ballet since I was 4 years old and I am incredibly excited to be in an environment that teaches me new ways to use the gift of dance that God has given me. My classmates and I cannot imagine all the good things God has planned for us. At this time I am one of 24 students that have been accepted. Most DTS’s are purposefully small so that the group becomes tightly knit. We all have various art forms we are gifted in, but we are all there for one purpose; to use our gifts for the glory of the Lord.
I recently had a Skype session with the school’s leader, and I was so excited to hear all about the base and her experience with YWAM Brisbane. I have been getting to know the other students through a group Facebook page and I love the diversity. There are students from the United States, Canada, Germany, England and Sweden. It is amazing to me that we all come from entirely different backgrounds and cultures, but all convene as one team for the same purpose. I know I am supposed to go!
I am writing this letter because I need support to go. Your prayers especially would bless me before and during my trip. One of the ways you could support me is through prayer for (1) complete funding and preparation, (2) safe travels, (3) an open heart to receive whatever plans God sets before me, (4) form close relationships between students as well as with the staff, (5) God would go before our team as we fall deeper in love with Jesus and minister to others, and (6) to know God and make Him known.
To complete the DTS, I need to raise $7,500 by October 7, 2015. God has faithfully provided the initial funds for my application and plane ticket, and I am excited to see how He will provide the remaining $7,000 for my 6 months of expenses. If you feel that God is putting on your heart to give, it would be incredibly appreciated. I have to lay down my doubts and fears and trust that God will help me accumulate all the funds I need.
Thank you so much for being a part of this trip that is near and dear to my heart. Your support is so important to me, in every form. I am very blessed to be surrounded by an amazing group of friends and family!
Much love,
Elizabeth :)
