The January 2007 DTS Begins
The day has finally arrived. Starting around noon today, the students in our January 2007 Discipleship Training School (DTS) will begin to arrive. Today marks the beginning of a five month journey for all of us- three here in the great city of Winnipeg (specifically, our amazing inner city neighbourhood in the West End), followed by two months of missional service and outreach in Uganda.
We thought we would start by introducing you to the students:
I am Stacie Jean Lund, a servant of Jesus Christ called to bring hope to all of the world. I always wanted to introduce myself like that becuase, hey, its so true! I geuss what you need to know is that I am really only five years old; that is when I gave my life to Jesus. Ever since then life’s been an adventure. I have been able to be used for great things, and sometimes I have stumbled, but it is crystal clear who is ever present with me. For the general information, here it goes; I am a 19 going on 20 year old, home-grown in Warroad, Minnesota (yes, I am American). I have a passion for Jesus, I absolutley adore singing, I love people, I enjoy the outdoors, yet I like the city as well…I guess you could say I am easy to please. Working with youth, doing missions, leading others in worship, and changing the world for his Kingdom are some of the top priorities on my life goal list. So one may be asking now, “How did this lady end up in Winnipeg, Canada.” Well, to be honest, it’s just the pure and simple fact that God is putting me where there is the greatest need for Him. I know this is a time when God wants to stretch me and mold me even more into the woman he desires for his kingdom. In general, I really just desire what God wants me to desire. The end!
My name is Ed Harms. I am 33 years old and have lived in Winnipeg my whole life. I taught Grade 4 for couple of years but I have been doing seasonal work for the last 2 years. I enjoy playing sports like ice hockey,football and baseball; listening to music, taking photographs, travelling and hanging out with friends. Through this DTS I am hoping to learn more about knowing God, hearing his voice and discerning his will for me at this stage of my life and beyond. I am also looking forward to meeting new people, gaining valuable life skills as well as experiencing a new culture.
My name is Lindsey Ainsworth, and I am an 18-year-old Canadian. I enjoy reading, playing the flute, travelling, and drawing. I don’t really know what to expect from the DTS, but I am hoping to make some new friends, gain some life experience, learn more about God’s plan for my life, and grow in my relationship with Christ.
My name is Brenden Knight and I am from Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada. I am 19 years old. I enjoy singing and acting, as well as baking and reading. On the YWAM Discipleship Training School, I hope to grow closer in my relationship with God.
My name is Robin Frost. I am a 26 yrs old Canadian, born and raised in BC, moved to Manitoba when I was 19. The past 3 yrs. I have been living and working in Brandon MB. I love worship (music and dance), working with children, walking/jogging and reading. I expect to get to know and trust God in a deeper way and develop skills in missions.
My name is John Paul Marynewich and I live in Winnipeg, MB. I have volunteered with YWAM’s Mission Adventures program in the past. I really enjoy hanging out, watching movies, playing games and karaoke. My main purpose for attending DTS is to get more ministry experience. I’m presently seeking God on how to share with people what he is doing in my life and how he can help them in their lives.
