Last DTS's students' testimonies
Narantsuluun’s testimony (from Arkhangai)
My family is all Christian, except me. My church pastor and my parents suggested that I do DTS. I didn’t want to go to DTS, because I had no idea about what DTS was, and what I would learn from this. So even though I didn’t want to go Bayankhongor to do DTS, I ended up coming anyway. Also I hadn’t accepted Jesus as my savior at all.
During the DTS I learned about God, and accepted Christ as my savior. God taught me His holy ways. He changed me. He renewed and refreshed my spirit. Now I am growing in faith and my relationship with God.
The outreach trip was awesome. The whole outreach was a big challenge for me. On the outreach I had wonderful opportunities to share my faith with others, and work out what I have learned during the lecture phase.
When I look back at my old self 5 months ago, I see many changes. God changed my personality and character. I want to know God in deeper ways. When I go back to town, I’ll serve in my church and home group. The most important treasure that I found is my relationship with my loving, true God and friend.
I am very grateful to God that He chose me, called me out under sin, and has given me a freedom.
Praise God!
Last DTS's students' testimonies
Lkhagvasuren’s testimony (from Uvurkhangai)
Last year YWAM-BH’s DTS’ students came to my town on their outreach. When they were there I was not, I just heard about them. My church people told me nice stories about them so I wanted to do DTS. I prayed to God that He would allow me to attend.
Last fall, God gave a very nice opportunity to do DTS. While I was doing the DTS in Bayankhongor I didn’t have any support from my family, because I am only Christian in my family. I didn’t have money for school tuition. I trusted in God’s provision. During the school time I saw God’s provision for me. He provided for me abundantly.
Before I came to the DTS I was serving in my church in Uvurkhangai. But I was seeing God as jinn, I went and prayed to God when I was in trouble, or I needed something. Through the school I learned to go to God in any situation and give thanks to Him. I started to see God in different ways. My heart is the most important thing to God, not my outside. I understood now why it is very important to have an intimate relationship with God. I grew a lot in my faith and relationship with God. I also acknowledge that I still need to grow continually in my relationship with God. He is the one who is always close with me.
The most important thing that God did in my life is He put a foundation of Christ. Wherever I go, whatever I do, I’ll build my faith house on that foundation. I thank God for everything that He has for me.

The DTS's outreach and graduation
Thank you very much for your faithful prayer and support! During the whole outreach time God fully protected us and blessed us.
The DTS’s outreach went awesome. Our God was so faithful and blessed us and community people through the outreach. Team China went to the border city of Inner Mongolia. They met a family and stayed in their house. While they were there they did prayer walk and showed Christ’s love to those who were around them. The host family was happy that they now have friends from Mongolia. The students and staff invited them to Mongolia. If God wants we would love to see them in Mongolia sometime.
The team South Gobi served in Dalanzadgad (center of South Gobi) for three weeks. While we were there our ministry was divided into two areas, marriage counseling course to church couples, and helping the local churches with street evangelism. Through the marriage counseling course two couples accepted Christ.
The two teams reunited and continued the outreach in Bayanlig and Bayangobi (Bayankhongor’s counties) when they were there their ministry focused on supporting the local church leaders and church members. They also did some community work.
During the outreach the students grew a lot in God and their faith. It was a great challenge and opportunity to work out their faith and what they have learned during the lecture phase.
Last week on the 21st of January we had the DTS’s graduation. As you have heard, at the beginning of the DTS we started with 15 students, but in the end eight students graduated. We want to call them heroes, because they finished the race successfully. During the DTS’s five months God put foundations in their lives. They see God is the one who takes care for them.
And now we are ready to start our next DTS on the 8th of February. We will have a little more than 10 students this time. Please pray for the next DTS’s students, may God lead them and provide for them.
