EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE FAMILY DTS

What if you could spend the best years with your children discovering God's purpose for your family? If you could do something amazing with your entire family, and you knew you couldn't fail, what would you try?

Taking a step toward a family discipleship program is not only possible, it could be the best decision for your family's destiny.

The Greb family was in the same place you might be. You are not alone if you feel stuck in a job and feeling unhappy. Maybe your marriage isn't all you'd hoped for. We all want the best life for our children. The Grebs took a step toward God with a big change and it paid off.

Follow the Greb's story of their family's decision to attend a Family Discipleship Training School:

Do you desire to grow closer to God as a family?

Do you want your kids to experience serving others in real heartfelt practical ways?

Do you want to find purpose and joy in your life?

The Family DTS is designed to take you on a journey to get to know God deeply. YWAM's mission is to know God and make Him known. You can experience the mission as a family. The mission component will change your family forever. It will set you on a trajectory to impact the world with your gifts and talents. 

We know you have questions, and we are doing our best to answer them. Everyday we have conversations about how all of this works. A big question we get is, "What do the kids do during this training program, and what about their schooling?" Yeah, that's a great question. The Grebs had the same challenge!

What makes the Family DTS really awesome is the Family Sync Program. YWAM Tyler offers this experience for your kids and it's incredible. You can read in detail about this aspect of your training here: (Insert Link)

The training isn't free in case you were thinking it was. Before you click out of this, we want to invite you into God's miracle stories. Family after family arrives here, and shares miraculous stories of houses selling, money showing up from the mostly unlikely sources, including financial partnerships which last a lifetime. 

You may not have what you need right now, but doesn't God know this? He's does the impossible. Our training is as affordable as we can possibly make it, and we want to encourage you⎼if God's calling you, He will provide for you. The Grebs share how they walked this out: 

Here are some other absolutely incredible stories you need to read if finances are your main roadblock:

A Family's Impossible Risk

We Needed $2500 by 5pm!

Don't wait another minute if God is tugging at your heart. Live intentionally and take a step to find out more about this opportunity for you and your family. 

I WANT TO KNOW MORE ...

Honestly, we should warn you too! Just because you say, "YES," to Jesus and step out on faith, it's not all a bed of roses. ;) However, we are here to disciple you through the tough moments as a family too. What should you be prepared for? The Grebs tackle one issue here which is pretty important to know before you arrive for your training school. Hear their perspective... 

We know you have more questions! The Grebs are going to share about "Families Living Together Under One Roof," "How to Help Your Kids Cope with Change," and "Our Lives After DTS."

So, what will you do after your Family DTS? How do you know what to do next? That's a another great question, and let's just say first of all, take a day at a time. You might be surprised at the outcome. We've seen families change careers, move overseas, and start up new ministries right here in the USA!
