Encounter Discipleship Training School

A DTS (aka Discipleship Training School) with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) changed my life. Being able to learn so much more about my Heavenly Father, and grow closer with Him was amazing. I absolutely loved living in community for the 5 months of the school! It taught me the importance of community, and I learned how to love people better. I am forever grateful for this experience, and say it is 100% worth it. Setting aside just 5 months of your time to focus and go after Jesus with people who are just as excited as you will be the best experience! The 3 months of lectures was SO impactful, and getting to apply everything I had learned on outreach (aka the 2 month mission trip) was even better!! It’s so worth it!!! I learned so much of who God created me to be, and more of who He is. I thought I was ready to go right into the mission trip, but there was so much I needed to do in order to be able to truly go out and share the love of Christ and love how Jesus loves. Outreach changed my life and my perspective on so much. If you want a life altering experience, the I would recommend a Discipleship Training School with YWAM Redding. It will impact your life in ways you never imagined!!!!

I started my DTS at Youth with a Mission in the fall of 2017. This was one of the best experiences of my life! The Discipleship training school completely changed my life and really shifted my view towards Jesus. I never knew I could have such a close relationship with Him and invite Him into every area of my life. Living in community is so amazing with people that are all focused on improving their personal relationship with Christ and are willing to walk with you improving yours. The outreaches they provide are all focused on the 10/40 window, mainly trying to reach the unreached, muslim world. If you have a heart for the muslim world this is the perfect start for you to step into your calling.

Youth With A Mission Redding's Discipleship Training School (DTS) was such an amazing opportunity for growth and development! As a Senior just finishing my final year of high school and unsure of what I wanted to go to college for, I decided to take a year away from school to learn more about God and travel the world. However, what I got was so much more than I expected! I grew so much in my relationship with God, gained such a value for missions, and got to share my faith with so many people along the way! I would highly recommend Youth With A Mission Redding's Discipleship Training School, it's such a unique experience that will shift your perspective of missions as a whole and change the way you go about living the rest of your life with God!

I had the best experience at YWAM Redding! The seasons I’ve spent with Youth With A Mission have been nothing short of life changing. I was stretched and grown in ways I never imagined. My Discipleship Training School was exactly what I needed at that time in my life! Through the teaching and opportunities my relationship with God reached a new level of intimacy, and I learned how to share His truth with others.

The staff is amazing! They dedicate time and love to the students to assure they’re having a positively impactful experience. Overall YWAM Redding is an amazing atmosphere and maintains a vision for spreading the gospel.

My outreach was incredible. My leaders were outstanding! I was able to step out of my comfort zone and into new and exciting opportunities! I also met some of the best people and made new friends overseas.

I am so thankful for the way God has transformed my life through YWAM Redding!

YWAM Redding is an amazing base, full of people who are whole-heartedly in love with Jesus, and who radically love the lost! The community is so encouraging and loving. The worship and prayer times are filled with the Holy Spirit and power. Love the staff, and the schools, as well as the outreaches. I have been pushed out of my comfort zone in such a good way, and Jesus has grown me so much through the schools here! I also love where the base is located in Redding. It's beautiful scenery with the mountains, and you can walk downtown if you want! I made f iendships I will keep for the rest of my life! They also have a coffee shop, with amazing coffee and for low prices! This is a great experience for anyone looking for adventure!! Highly recommend!!

I completed my Discipleship Training School through this base, and it changed my life! Youth With A Mission in Redding, CA is a family friendly community and gives so much opportunity for growth and outreach. I was able to go overseas and reach out to the refugees in crisis in Athens with my children and our team. As a group of over 300 people, we went out in teams to bring hope to the hopeless and bring healing into their trauma they experienced in their lives! We have continued our relationship with this amazing community for over 4 years! It is located in the beautiful mountain valley of Shasta County and has wonderful recreational outlets for team building. Some of the experiences we have had here include, time spent up at Whiskeytown Lake for swimming and picnics. We have hiked the beautiful mountains and visited the local waterfalls during our schools to build team relationships. The community is hands down the kindest, most generous and compassionate people I have known. Another aspect of this base is the focus of compassion horsemanship and working with young people to bring hope into lives. The weekly encouragement to get out of your comfort zone and reach out into the lives of those in front of you is highly valued as is personal growth. We would love for you to come and be a part of our vision for changing lives, transforming cities, and reaching out to the international community! #ywamredding #ivisitredding

I LOVE YOUTH WITH A MISSION, REDDING!!!!!

Other than choosing to follow Jesus, this was the second best decision i have ever made in my life!!! I learned how to have a personal and more intimate relationship with Jesus. To hear his voice and to learn what it looks like to run with the Lord long term. They also have their own coffee shop with realllly good coffee!

So much identity was poured into me. This base has amazing worship and amazing schools. The presence is so thick!!!!

And the location is great! It lies in the heart of downtown Redding, with prime coffee shops and just up the road a bit, amazing lakes and hikes!

The community is so loving and encouraging and I have truly made lifelong friends! This experience has shifted the course of my life!

Thank you YWAM Redding!!!
