The mercy of God is the central reality of the Christian faith. But what it is? Let’s take a closer look at the mercy of God and why it’s important.
YWAM mission trips are all different, but should all have this common foundation. Upon joining YWAM through a Discipleship Training School, or “DTS”, you will be given wonderful training and insight on God’s mercy and its vital importance.

Intro:
It’s been 1 month since we’ve been living in Idaho with Youth With A Mission and wow it’s been AMAZING! Missions have been something that me and Melina have both felt called to even before we ever meet... after getting married, we felt a Discipleship Training School was where we needed to be so after a year of living back in my home town (South Carolina) the Lord opened up the door to move to Idaho and start training at a 6 month missions school. All I can say is... we love it here! Idaho is extremely blessed with such beautiful landscapes.
What It’s Really Like:
Ok, so we have established that Idaho is beautiful and that we are loving it here but don’t you want to know What It’s Really Like? So you’re probably thinking to yourself.. O wow these guys are “Living The Life” up there, or over there, in Idaho... well the truth is... the school is difficult. The ultimate goal for this school is to bring “the students” into a closer relationship with the Lord so once we get to India we can help lead them to JESUS! So the question is... what does that entail? Well let me just say that almost every week we go on a backpacking trip to a NEW location. Once we arrive at a trail, we then hike with our backpacks to the campsite. Like I said, each week is a different place.
Side Note: My backpack usually weighs about 30-40 pounds!
That might not sound like much weight but when you are hiking up mountains and down mountains, it feels like a ton! So, our first hiking trip was approximately a mile which really felt like a lot to me... Where are we now... you might ask? Well, just the other day we hiked 7 miles which is where I took the photo that is above. Once we get to the camp site we unpack, set up our tents and depending on the time of day we then have a class. Backpacking is one way we train for India as we will be hiking 15-25 miles to different villages who hasn’t heard about Jesus. Other ways we train is through lectures, and real world application. Although this season of life has been challenging we know that OUR GOD is doing GREAT and MIGHTY THINGS!!! Soooo STAY TUNE for another HFM BLOG!
Wrapped in melancholy and bittersweet glances, That you know will be your last. No matter how many times I press pause, This moment runs away too fast. Breathing in and breathing out. Prayers that fill up with tears. I promise I'll never forget you, And I'll carry you through the years. It's simple but it's sweet, And it's all my heart can speak.
I hate goodbyes
Check out where we are going, why I’m so excited about it, and how you can be a part of it too!
Started a new chapter this April. See why I'm so excited about it.
( my personal life. )
Ok. So I’m in the process of applying for a DTS (Discipleship Training School) through YWAM. It’s a sixth month discipleship program that draws you closer to God and introduces you to missions. The base is in Queenstown, New Zealand- and almost always I have to stop myself from giving into fear and doubt. I’ve never done something this huge before, as I’m still in high school, and it’s more than terrifying. God is good. And I have to trust that He is leading me towards– more of Him. I send it in tomorrow, and soon after that I’ll know if I’m attending in the fall! I’m extremely excited, and I thought I’d share.
Also, I’d appreciate any advice and encouragement from any YWAMers out there.

| housekeeping | Many hands make light work. Whistle while you work. Work hard, play hard. People create sayings, cliches, and pep talks as incentive to get out there. Work hard. Accomplish much. Enjoy your day. At the end of a day full of dirt, dust, and sweat here at YWAM Orlando, we remember all the laughter, the story-telling, and the teamwork that makes this community a family. #ywam #ywamorlando #ywamdts #dts #som #somd #soe #adventure #missions #teamwork Photo cred: @kandersonphoto
