DTS Graduate Testimonies

Josh Forren: Quarryville, Pennsylvania

"My experience at YWAM Pittsburgh changed my life, and I’m not just saying that. It truly changed my life. I grew up in a Christian home and became a Christian at a young age, but what I experienced during my DTS truly changed my perspectives on missions, evangelism, and even my life at home. 

The DTS pushed me far beyond what I ever thought I was capable of going, with the biggest push coming in the form of getting me outside my comfort zone. I had always said I wouldn’t be a missionary, why, because I was afraid to get out of my comfort zone. Yes I had told people about Jesus but it had always been within my comfort zone. DTS taught me that evangelism isn’t about being comfortable it’s about doing the Lord’s work and what he’s so clearly told us to do….tell other’s about him. Through the entire DTS I saw just how important this work was. Just how much God loves ALL people and wants them ALL to be with him and to know him.

When we did our outreach phase that became so real as we saw God work in amazing ways and we also saw people’s lives changed because they chose to make Jesus their personal Lord and Savior and it’s something I will never forget. I now see missions and evangelism not as just something some people should do but that all people should do because the Lord wishes ALL to rest in his arms and to follow him. 

Now that same perspective is carried home. When I arrived home so many things had changed and many of the things I had been afraid to do I am doing, like talking to strangers about Christ. It’s now something that brings me great joy to do. Also many things I learned during the lecture phase has brought about a greater understanding and knowledge of the Mighty God we serve. This also has been carried home. I now seek to know God more to know his will and to serve him always. This perspective came from the many things I learned during the lecture phase and from the staff members who set great examples of men and women of God. 

YWAM DTS was overall an awesome experience. It taught me many things of God and helped me grow to be a better man of God. I highly recommend it to all for it will completely change your life whether you’ve been a Christian for years or for two days, you will learn and experience things you never have before."

Understanding God's Great Love

“I came to DTS broken and just in need of time with my God, in need of his words for me and just an outpour of everything he is. And I received more then what I needed. During lecture phase I learned how personal God is. I learned how necessary it was to take time out of my day just for him. And I had time to really get to know my God. I grew a passion for his word. I began to love reading the bible and looking deeper into his word.

During outreach I learned that it is not always easy doing God's work. It has to be selfless. Once I was face to face with the person God was giving me words for, nothing else matter. The heat didn’t matter, time didn’t matter, and whatever they had to do didn’t matter. God was talking with his child. The love that filled me for those people at those times was crazy, something that could only be from God. Most amazing part was when those people answered the call of their father and returned to him. He such a loving God and he has shown me that in my life and the life of others.”

Brittany Morris: Souderton, Pennsylvania

Passion for Outreach

“My favorite part of outreach was probably seeing people coming to Christ, and just speaking to people about God and how many people didn’t believe in him or heaven and hell just amazed me and then seeing those people come to Christ. I never did something so awesome in my life than talking to people about God. I really enjoyed spending time in different cities and my favorite one was Bucharest because I spent a lot of time with the gypsy children who I fell in love with. All together outreach was amazing for me, I enjoyed every day. I was amazed how God really worked in people’s lives.”

Marleni Rocio Rios: Lima, Peru

A Clear Purpose in Life

“Outreach for me was a great teaching. I learned a lot more about my God, I could feel His joy, His presence, His love more than ever, and His voice talking to me all the time. Before my outreach what I learned in the training school about all of this important things I knew was important but in outreach is more than words. It's a life style and where I know God is making me stronger in Him and he is the one who is making me realized that this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. During DTS God showed me clearly what the purpose in my life is, for what I was created for in this world, I even understood what my God want me to do in my life, I found out what are my gift from the Holy Spirit, from my Father and that make me feel so special so important for Him. Thanks God trough DTS I found out that God is choosing me to be a missionary to preach the gospel and when I am doing this my Father is always filling me with His joy what I love it!

Through DTS outreach I meet a lot of brothers in Christ from other countries with the same love of share the gospel and working for His Kingdom in different ways and I did learn a lot from them.

What I learned in DTS was a very important and huge step in my life because now God is putting more desires in my heart to serve Him more, to work more for Him for His kingdom.”

Scott Munro: Waterfall, KZN, South Africa

Refocussed on Evangelism

“DTS has been really been a time of being shown the areas of my life that need to be changed and allowing God to start working in those areas. I have really started to see that most of the problems that I have with other people come out of a place of having a lot of pride on my heart and always wanting things my own way. God has shown me that and started working on those parts of my life during this time.

This may sound funny but one of my favorite part during lecture phase was definitely work duties. I really enjoyed spending time with John [a staff member] fixing the guys staff house and mowing lawns, etc. I am a person who loves getting my hands dirt so it was something right up my alley. But I also really enjoyed the time with the teachers. It was really great to learn from them and to learn from their lives and how God has led them all through different situations. It was a great encouragement and faith builder for me.

I realized at the start of DTS that I was worshipping with my own strength and so I kind of laid down my instruments during DTS and got my focus back on God. I really believe that God has some big plans for my future and that part of those is in worship so I am really planning to start putting in more time practicing and just allowing God to use me. I also want to start writing worship songs and using the gifts that God has given me.

One huge thing that has changed in my heart is a love for other people and for the lost. Before DTS I knew I would be witnessing to people but it wasn’t a big thing to me, but God has completely changed that around. I now find myself looking at a lot of the people I see and asking myself if they are saved or not and also wanting to share with them. It is still extremely uncomfortable for me to share with others but I am developing a desire to want to witness to people more and God is slowly breaking my fear and insecurity issues with people at the same time.”

Scott is currently serving with the youth department at a local church in Pittsburgh.

From Scared to Secure

“When I look back to the first few weeks of DTS I see that so many things happened during those five months. I know God did so much in me. One of the greatest changes in me is that he really took all the fear away that I had from witnessing. I was so scared for outreach and I thought I wouldn’t be able to share with anyone. But then God just pushed me a little more everyday until I was able to get rid of my fear and insecurity. It was hard to go witness every time. But the more I did it, the more confidence I got. And it gave me so much joy.

I learned so much just by talking to people on the street. I learned that the flesh never wants to talk about God. “

Sheona is currently continuing her education back home in the field of Arts and Media Design.

hannah dts testimony Challenged & Encouraged

“DTS was an incredibly dynamic time in my life.

Never before had I been in an environment where Christ is taught about, spoken about, sought after, and desired day-in and day-out. DTS allowed me to put aside so many of the distractions that come with daily life and submerse myself in His teaching.

Words can’t describe how wonderful it is to be surrounded by teachers, staff, and fellow students of the same-mind, seeking to know God. Every day was challenging in a different way, yet I was daily encouraged and built up by the family that surrounded me.

In DTS, I not only learned to hear God’s voice--speaking to me—but I caught a glimpse of His love for all peoples and the need for evangelism to the nations.

Having now returned to college, my life is quite different, but the lessons I learned and the changes that took place in my life during DTS are lasting. I don’t regret for one moment the five months I spent in DTS and would repeat it in a heartbeat.”

Hannah is currently pursing her degree in International Studies.
