I will be at the YWAM Harpenden base in England this Thursday and Friday (21-22 Feb.) for a gathering of DTS leadership, most of them from around England.

I’ll be ‘representing’ YWAM Northern Ireland, hopefully to gather some good ideas and do a bit of networking. On the agenda is looking at growth and multiplication in the DTS programme, which is pertinent to us, as we do a bit of brainstorming about our involvement in the Republic (see the previous post about the YWAM Prayer day). We’ll also have an update from the International DTS Centre and some lectures by Dr. Atef, an Egyptian Coptic priest and long-time friend of YWAM.

I’m quite excited and hoping this short gathering can help us glean some ideas in moving forward with the DTS programme in Closkelt, and all around Ireland. In addition, I want to get a better idea of what God is doing through DTSs internationally, and not just in our enclave of wooly hedges and nicely trimmed sheep.

…or something.
