Choosing Your Best YWAM DTS Locations

By Essie Osborn


It is not easy to find the right volunteer organization. You have to ask people who have come back specific places, and you also have to know what you are looking for. Some of them have restrictions, and some of them will charge you a fee, so there are things to look out for. There are many YWAM DTS locations around the world, and this is something that every one speaks highly of.

You will participate in a three month course which consists of lectures by people who have either been in missions or who are well known in the field. You will be taught a lot about this as well as various aspects regarding the Christian faith. You will also begin to mix with others and meet those who are doing the course with you.

A lot of young people decide to do this after school as part of a gap year. It can be a lot better than traveling aimlessly overseas for a year. This is something that teaches you about life. There are lots of challenges along the way, but this is part of growing up. You will also be living and working with others, which is half the challenge.

Now with the world cup soccer coming up, it is appropriate that one has a DTS of this nature because one is able to work with people who also have an interest in the same thing. This is especially helpful if the student is good at the sport. With that, they are able to incorporate the Christian faith that they know about.

There are also people that wind up in a DTS that is geared towards a specific theme. For example, you will find that many people have an interest in surfing or soccer and in that case you will be based somewhere in South America or California. This way you will be able to work with people who have the same interest as you.

There are many different places that you can choose from, and new bases are being built as the months go on. There is almost a base in every single country, so you don't have to travel too far in order to reach a place that you feel at home at. You will be able to go somewhere more local, but on the other hand you can also travel overseas.

Some people decide to go somewhere locally, and others want to get away from everything and go somewhere where they have not been before. There are all sorts of reasons for this. Some people want to be close to home for safety reasons, and others want to go on a complete new adventure. It also depends on what is available at the time.

You can also do something after your DTS, such as the studying of the bible or studying worship. A lot of people go into this full time, and you may want to prepare for this. In this case, you have to look for a place which you want to call home, and this should take careful thought because you don't want to chop and change too much.
