Aaron Wardlaw

My name is Aaron Wardlaw. I’m 23 years old from DFW Texas. I spent this past year with YWAM doing a DTS and SOE. I can say with confidence that the Lord met me in these schools! For me, true relationship with Him started when I finally decided to surrender myself to God and devote a season to Him. Now, I delight in seeking the Lord because I have experienced His great love for me. It has become my foundation, and on it I will continue to learn to surrender, trust in God, and allow Him to be Lord over every area of my life.
