Challenging the status-quo.


Staff meeting with the July staff team! Our leaders always supplied us with snacks. <3 


Last one-on-one with this sweet girl! We treated ourselves and shared a red velvet cake and a Chai-for-two. She's on a social media fast while on outreach - proud of her! And I'm excited to hear about the trip from her afterwards! 


The 7 house gals together for the last time! The Waves team will be coming back to the Coast for their graduation, but the ATW will be heading straight home after having their debrief week in Peru. 


Worshipping on the last day of the July school! We prayed over the teams and sent them out with encouragement! The July DTS's are on outreach now! The ATW (Around the World) team is currently in Vietnam, and the Waves team is in Fiji. 


I learned how to do an oil change!


We have wheels!! It has seriously been soooo great having the freedom to go wherever, especially in this season of not being as involved with the DTS while we prepare for our school in January! 


Welcome night for the September DTS! We had a BBQ and played some games to keep them awake to help with jetlag. ;)


We spent a few evenings sharing testimonies and hearing life stories. It always blows me away how people from all over the world end up in the same room together! Reminds me of the story of Esther in the Bible when she is told that maybe she was made for "such a time as this." 
There are 33 students!


We said goodbye to Abby (third from the left) as she is finished her commitment here and has headed home to pursue new and exciting things! 


We have now finished the first week of lectures. The topic was Hearing God's Voice and Intercession. Corsin taught the two days about intercession (pictured above). This school is already on fire for the Lord! It is amazing. 

During the last day of lectures this week on Friday, we opened the class with prayer and prayers for healing spontaneously started happening - completely student led!!! - and about 8 or 9 people got healed right then! A shoulder injury, a sore back, a knee injury, a sore hip...and more! Go God! 

I'm stoked to see how this openness for God grows and where these students will be by the time they go on outreach. 

"We want to challenge the status-quo by raising and releasing transformational leaders."
