Crossroads DTS (YWAM-CDTS)

Course Information

Crossroads Discipleship Training School (CDTS) is especially designed for people who are 25 and older, who are seeking spiritual renewal, vision or new direction. It's a unique opportunity to know God more intimately, to increase in godly character and to become involved in missions. The CDTS course has a 12-week lecture phase followed by an 8-week field assignment.

Families are welcome! The University of the Nations provides a Foundation School for children ages 4-17. The school is designed to enrich both the spiritual and academic growth of the children of CDTS students. Parents will need to arrange for a nanny to care for children under 4.

The field assignment

The 8-week outreach to the nations immediately follows the Kona training time. It is designed to provide students with opportunities to use their professional abilities, natural talents and spiritual giftings as they live and minister in cross-cultural settings. The outreach is adapted to mature students and those with families. The field assignment is a required part of the course, and applicants should be prepared to complete both the lecture and outreach phases of the school in order to be accepted.

"Poverty-stricken as the Church is today in many things, she is most stricken here, in the place of prayer...Failing here, we fail everywhere."

- Leonard Ravenhill

Of all the "good-ideas" in the world, how many of them are birthed in the secret place of prayer? Even response to tragedy, though fueled by good intentions, can sacrifice Great at the altar of good if not continually bathed in intercession with Heaven. Even when I'm doing things birthed out of prayer - am I still praying my way through it!? ...I am speaking to myself.

Busy-ness is what you're left with when the Spirit stops leading.

We woke up early... another somewhat sleepless night. On certain days I feel the Spirit nudge me in the morning, and say "you need nourishment today". Oh man, I have to get in the Word this morning...there's something different in the air today. The pastor of the church, on who's roof we were camped, asked us to go to the service today from 7:30-12. In all honesty, we wanted to bless him by attending, but as much as we would love to sit through a 5 our service in Creole on Justin and Jennifer's last day in Haiti, we weren't about to do that.

Thank goodness we have Sean. Sean's the type of guy who could talk you into jumping into the ocean with a kayak full of camping supplies at midnight and paddling to an unoccupied boat dock 200 yards from shore, then at sunrise, upon seeing a whale half a mile out, convincing you to chase it til you're literally within feet of it (true story). He sweet-talked them into releasing us to set up a clinic not far down the road. Some of us would do that, some of us were going with Matt...
