A Sad Week of Graduation








On November 7th, we said "goodbye" to our very first San Diego DTS ever. It was a lovely graduation ceremony at a local resturant, eighty people attending. As usual, it was hard to bid farewell to a group of people you have spent 5 intense months ministering with, discipling, crying with, laughing with, etc. But, as we say in YWAM "It isn't good-bye, it's 'See you later.'" A few of our eleven graduates are praying about returning to full time staff with us. It is always exciting to have students join as staff, but even more exciting knowing that no matter where the Lord takes them, they will be forever changed from their five months of just pressing into God through DTS. I truly believe I learned more from this DTS than any of my other DTS'. They were a group of 12 completely different people/personalitys, I believe, like Jesus' disciples, but they all strived to come together for a common goal- to know God and to make Him known. Each one of them will be forever in my heart, and hopefully, I will see them again. God Bless you, San Diego DTS! You have forever changed my life and I learned so much from each of you. Thank you!
