I am part of a ministry called YWAM (Youth With a Mission). We currently have four schools at YWAM Wylie: One school is the Discipleship Training School (DTS). The DTS is a five-month program divided into a three month lecture phase and a two month outreach phase. During the lecture phase, a variety of speakers come and teach on different things in the Bible. The students then go overseas and apply what they have learned. The second school is the School of Ministry Development (SOMD.) This school is for three months. SOMD equips the students to become leaders and teaches them practical ways to learn how to bring missions wherever the Lord calls them. Another school that YWAM Wylie offers is the “Bible School for the Nations”,(otherwise known as (BSN.) This school is six months in length and consists of a four month lecture phase and a two month outreach phase. During the lecture phase, students go through the whole Bible with in-depth learning and teaching in preparation for the outreach phase.

 

 

In addition to the schools that YWAM Wylie offers, we also have several local ministries. One of the ministries that we have is a coffee shop. The heart of “Coffee At The Hub” is to build relationships with people in our community and show the love of Christ. All the funds from the coffee shop go back to ministries locally and globally. “Hopes Gate” is our local downtown jewelry store. The “Heart for Hopes Gate” is to offer hope to orphans and adults who are rescued from sex trafficking. All the proceeds go back to the young women and men who make the jewelry items. We have a pregnancy resource center that is called “Hope’s Bridge” and it helps women and teenagers who are pregnant by sharing resources and providing free ultrasounds, as well as other means of support. YWAM also provides classes for single moms and dads and these classes teach them how to parent in a healthy Christian home.

 
My current roles on staff at YWAM Wylie include the Coffee at the Hub, Evangelism, Hopes Gate, and the kitchen.

 
I am excited for what The Lord is going to do through all of the students in these schools. It is always fun getting to meet and support the new students.

 
I want to say thank you so much for your partnering support and for praying for me in this season. I look forward to what God has planned for my future with YWAM Wylie.
