Hi, my name is Simon Eastman, and I’ve been accepted into the YWAM Paris Ignite Discipleship Training School this spring. This program combines classroom training with hands-on outreach, focusing on worship, creative ministry, and serving local communities across Europe. I’m stepping into this because I want my passion for worship, music, and audio to be used for something bigger than myself—to encourage people, share hope, and support churches and ministries that are already doing meaningful work.

The Ignite DTS includes three months of teaching and lectures in Paris, followed by an outreach phase that reaches all across Europe. During this time, I’ll be learning about cross-cultural ministry, spiritual formation, and practical ways to serve others. I’ll also have opportunities to help lead worship, work with creative teams, and use the technical abilities I’ve developed through my audio studies and church involvement.

I am seeking to raise $8,000, which covers tuition, housing, and outreach expenses. I’m working and saving as much as I can, but I can’t do this alone. Any support—whether financial or through prayer—would mean more than I can express. Even small contributions help move me closer to this goal.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and consider being part of this journey. I would love to keep you updated along the way and share how your support is making a real impact.
