Word and Worship DTS #1
This opening DTS session frames mission as a lived journey rather than a short-term event. The teaching invites students to see that the values of worship, discipleship, and community are not meant to stay inside a training school alone. They can be carried into long-term church life, ordinary rhythms, and cross-cultural mission. The session carries a hopeful tone by reminding listeners that God is able to form sustainable communities shaped by mission, even outside highly concentrated training environments. Rather than separating spiritual growth from daily life, the message encourages students to imagine a life in which the heart of discipleship can take root in every setting God sends them into. Receive this season of training as a gift, but do not treat it as the only place where God can form you. Ask how the values of worship, mission, and discipleship can continue shaping your life after this intense season ends. Stay open to the possibility that God can build sustainable, faithful community wherever he sends you. Let this teaching expand your imagination for mission beyond short-term moments. Lord, teach us to carry the heart of worship and mission into every place you send us. Help us receive this season of training with gratitude and let its values become durable in our everyday lives. Form us into people who live missionally with faithfulness, humility, and joy.
- The session begins by explaining why the DTS lectures are being live streamed and how the speaker's missionary work in Korea connects back to the community.
- From there, the teaching highlights the possibility of carrying YWAM values into sustainable church and mission life.
- The message contrasts the intensity of DTS with the slower but still meaningful pace of long-term discipleship in ordinary settings.
- It then invites the students into a week-long journey of thinking deeply about mission, calling, and the durability of spiritual principles in real life.
- Receive this season of training as a gift, but do not treat it as the only place where God can form you.
