by Keisha, DTS Staff The breeze whips my hair all around my face as I walk through a forest of tall, wind-stripped trees. It smells fresh and new outside: like spring rain that has melted away the snow to uncover a blanket of green; like soft earth caked onto the soles of your shoes. I want to breathe it …
story from Juliet (DTS student) I have four words for you that I have been convincing myself to learn this week: Go. With. The. Flow. For some, that is a piece of cake. But for me, order is my middle name. So here I am on the border of Myanmar (Burma), learning to be open each day to the little …

For the past two weeks, YWAMers gathered in Greece to pray for refugees in Europe. During one prayer time, God gave them a picture of Jesus walking on the sea. Together, they prayed for safe passage across the sea for refugees. They felt sure that Jesus was in the boat with refugees and that He was calming storms as they …
These last few weeks have been a crazy whirlwind of learning and fun! It’s insane how much these 50 people that I’ve only known for 7 weeks feel like family.

But no matter how hard I tried, it felt like every ounce of hope had been sucked out of me this week. I felt …
(By Kaely Orr) Hanna is a 7 year old ball of energy, laughter, and sass. She’s precious, adorable, and hilarious, and I look forward to seeing her along with the rest of my class every morning. During lunch break one day, she jumped up to me and gave me a huge hug. “Kaely!!” she screamed. I hugged her back and …
(by Sarah Young, YWAM Madison staff member currently working with Freedom 61 in Latvia) Last night opened my eyes to the realities of life on the street. We brought tea, coffee and dessert to girls trapped in prostitution. But it wasn’t until we were packing up to go home that the young women finally came out to us. That’s when I discovered how much …
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved running around barefoot. Little did I know that going barefoot would play such a big part in my missions journey. Two years ago, I went on a mission trip with my youth group. One night, my youth pastor brought in a tub of water and a towel. He knelt and picked up my …
As our airplane descended toward the island of Samoa, I felt anxiety welling up in my chest again. We were the first team from YWAM Madison to ever come to Samoa and I had no idea what to expect. My four teammates and I exited the plane, grabbed our bags and crammed into the back of a taxi. As our taxi …
