This is done in order to establish a balanced understanding of ministry as the transforming power of God is evidenced in the personal lives of each student as well as within the lives of people to whom they minister. The training course begins with lectures here at the Training Centre in Mangere, Auckland and then moves into outreach somewhere in the Asia/Pacific region and in New Zealand. The school is designed to encourage students to develop personal character. It aims to help them exercise their faith while cultivating a living, intimate relationship with God and identifying their unique gifts and callings. Emphasis is placed on global awareness, preparing the students to reach current and future generations in answering the call to “Go into all the world and disciple all nations" (Matthew 28:19). Each DTS here at YWAM Auckland has a flair for creativity. This allows an emphasis to be placed on how each individual personally processes information and applies it to their life through their individualized talents and gifts. If you are looking for a training course that will sharpen your perception of God and His purposes for your life, then the YWAM Auckland DTS in an excellent start. |
