Thomas McConaghie from Lisburn, will spend the first six months
of the New Year on a training programme with 'Youth with a
Mission' in Australia. Thomas was commissioned for this training
during morning worship in Railway Street Presbyterian Church on
Sunday 16th December when the congregation were asked to pray
that this will be an informative period in his life and enable
him to discern God's calling upon his life.
YWAM are people of all ages, from over 149 nations, united in a
common passion to know God and to make Him known. Their
Discipleship Training Schools (DTS) aim to prepare messengers of
the gospel, helping students to know God in depth. The goal is
to form Christian character and establish Biblical relationships
while developing a daily walk with God. This intensive Christian
training course begins with an 11 or 12-week classroom phase
followed by a typically 12 week outreach. The DTS is designed to
encourage students to develop in personal character, to
cultivate a living relationship with God, and to identify their
unique individual gifts and callings in God. Cross-cultural
exposure and global awareness are special emphases throughout
these courses, preparing the students to reach current and
future generations and answer the call to 'Go into all the world
and make disciples of all nations' (Matthew 28:19).
