Well, today was the end of the lecture phase of my YWAM DTS course! We finished off with some more about church history and the history of mission movements within the church. Again, it was quite interesting, and a great way to send us out inspired for the next two months.
I've really enjoyed the lecture phase. I've learned so much as I don't think my life can be the same as it was before I came here because of it. We have heard from a range of fantastic speakers, who have been led by God and given His message to us. I've really noticed God speaking through many of the speakers in such amazing ways. There has been so much that will feed in to the outreach phase. It has been practical, emotional and academic at times, but always with the students in mind. It may take me a couple of days to adjust to not having any more lectures, but we will not be static from here. There is still plenty more to do before Wednesday, including an outreach simulation and cleaning all of Holmsted Manor!
I think just about every week of lectures has been worth coming here for, so to get all of them is such a blessing. I'd say, if you can do a DTS course, please do. It is such an amazing experience. You learn so much, meet great people, and get to serve in powerful ways.
This evening we practiced our dramas again. I really need to work on my dancing!
