Hello Everyone!
Here is a short little clip of my ENGAGE DTS team on outreach :)
It was such an amazing outreach and my team and I were blessed to meet such amazing and beautiful people. I know I will never forget them.
Well, I will be making my way to Kona in 3 days. This past month has flown by so fast and the moving day has snuck up on me! Once I get there I will jump right in and start preparing for the Engage DTS school with the school leader Joanna Mutch. I cannot believe the start date for the school is just over two months away. As of right now we have 20 plus students with more signing up everyday. We have four staff right now, but with the number of students growing so fast we are are for sure going to need more staff. If you could be praying for those individuals to join our leadership team those prayers would be greatly appreciated! Here is the site for the school if you did not see it below...http://www.uofnkona.edu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=677&Itemid=745&lang=en.
We have some pretty amazing students so far who are so on fire for the Lord! I cannot wait to meet all of them in person and watch them grow and transform into the people the Lord has called them to be. That is the most amazing part of a Discipleship Training School. A DTS is split up into two parts. The first three months is the Lecture Phase. The students have lecture 5 days a week learning 12 different subjects. The learn about Hearing The Voice of God, The Father Heart of God, Holy Spirit Week, Spiritual Warfare and many other subjects. After the lecture phase is over we go on to the Outreach Phase which is 10 weeks long. Locations are decided by the staff coming together and praying about where they feel the Lord is leading their team. There are usually a few teams depending on how many students are in the school. Students are split into teams of between 6 to 10 people. For me this was the most life changing part of my DTS. It is where I grew the most in my relationship with God and learned to trust and become dependent only on Him.
In those six months you become a totally different person; as YWAMer's say you are "ruined for the ordinary." Everyday you learn how to "Die To Self" which basically means to put yourself aside when you wake up every morning and to put the Lord first, others second and yourself last. DTS is the most life changing/growing experience you will ever have. I have so much joy and excitement for these students because I know what is coming for them! It is the most beautiful thing to watch :)
As a missionary I raise my own financial support, so if you would like to come alongside me monthly, or even with a one time gift, your help would be such a blessing. To make a donation you can go to
http://uofnkona.org/index.php?ption=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=652&MN=5697. Any little bit will help and would be greatly appreciated :-) I would also like to ask all of you to come alongside me as part of my prayer team which is most important. If you would like receive a copy of my monthly newsletter, please email me at a.devitt92@gmail.com and I'll be sure to get that out to you.
Once I get to Kona and I'm all settled in I'll update on how school preparations are going!
Blessings,
Allie :)
