First Installment: YWAM Herrnhut

Two days ago I submitted my application to YWAM (Youth With a Mission) Herrnhut for a DTS (Discipleship Training School) in Nuremberg, Germany. It's a DTS specifically geared towards the arts and is called MOTA (Marriage of the Arts). Originally the school started in Herrnhut, Germany but because it has grown so much in the last year, the team has had to expand to the Nuremberg location, though still using the Water Castle in Hernnhut for smaller schools and as a sort of base.

Anyway, I'm telling you all this because it just so happens that yesterday I was accepted! I was so shocked at how fast it all happened, although I've been thinking of doing something similar for a long while. Especially when one of my best friends, Alyssa, did her DTS last year in Hawaii, India, and Nepal. I've seen so many positive changes in her and I was almost jealous for a while because I wanted what she had and thought I wasn't brave enough, cool enough, or wealthy enough to have it. I thought I needed some great sign from God to show me where to go in life, but then I realized (through Bible reading and Alyssa's perspective) that I needed to just take a risk. So I did, and I feel more at peace than I have in months.

The bravery is within me to take this step and adventure, and coolness has nothing to do with it apparently... The only thing lacking so far is the wealth/funds needed for the entire six months of training and outreach. But this is where I need to have much faith that Papa God will provide abundantly! Though I wish I could afford it independently and I hate asking for money, I will be attaching a link eventually for donations. If you feel you wish to donate to my adventure then please do, but do not feel obligated! I would appreciate your prayer as well, for a calm mind in these upcoming months, safety, and provision.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and supporting me with prayer and/or funding! Blessings to all who read.

Love, Hannah

P.S. Here is the website for Herrnhut MOTA (http://mota.mission-live.de/) and I hope it gets you as excited about it as I am!
