God Is Building Something In You

I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6

God is working behind the scenes in your life right now. The growth process can feel super slow and uncomfortable. But every moment of waiting and pushing past your comfort zone is shaping you into exactly who you were created to be: someone ready to step out and share Jesus with the world.
If you’re feeling that tug to step into something bigger, apply for a DTS today!

Last week, we welcomed 128 new students to our campus. We enjoyed playing volleyball, eating hotdogs, making our own sodas, and building meaningful relationships.

This quarter, we’re running four schools: DTS, SBS, MMI, and Titus Project.

DTS is a 5-month intensive program that deepens faith, intimacy with God, and understanding of the Bible through live teachings, worship, and community. It spans 20 weeks, with an 11-week lecture phase in Lakeside, Montana, followed by an 8-week cross-cultural outreach phase and a final debrief. During the outreach phase, participants travel internationally to share the Gospel, serve local ministries, and apply their training in real-world mission environments.

SBS is a 9-month training program offered through YWAM that guides students through an in-depth study of the Bible. Students learn to read Scripture in its original context using the inductive study method, progressing step-by-step through observation, interpretation, and application. Designed to foster deep spiritual growth and critical thinking, the program equips believers to accurately understand God’s Word, apply it to their lives, and teach it to others.

MMI is a 21-week YWAM training program designed to convey the Gospel through music while equipping musicians, vocalists, and technicians for missions. The course features an on-campus lecture phase covering music development, technical audio production, and spiritual foundations. It culminates in an international outreach phase where students partner with local artists, host workshops, and perform in venues ranging from churches to secular clubs and coffee houses.

Titus Project: a 12-week YWAM secondary school combats Bible illiteracy by equipping graduates of the School of Biblical Studies to teach God’s Word cross-culturally. The program starts with a 3-week lecture phase on sermon preparation, cross-cultural communication, and inductive preaching. It ends with an 8-week international outreach where participants train local pastors and church leaders in basic Bible study and historical context.

If these courses interest you, apply today!

We often picture "missions" as crossing oceans, stepping onto stages, or executing grand ministry plans. But God’s vision of the mission field is far more intimate: the fruit of missions is thousands of ordinary moments.

Missions is not defined by a geographic location; it is defined by presence. God rarely removes us from His mission—He simply changes our mission field. Wherever you are right now—your workplace, your kitchen, your neighborhood, your local coffee shop—you are on mission. You can show people how to live like Jesus anywhere.

Long and Steady Obedience: Discipleship is rarely fast or sleek. It is slow, deliberate, and often messy. It means choosing to show up for people consistently, even when you don't see immediate results.

Trusting the Master Builder: We often operate with a limited view—we only see one rung of the ladder at a time, while God sees the entire journey. You may not be present for every step of someone's faith walk, but you get to be there for a holy moment.

The Ministry of Presence: The heart of the gospel invitation is to meet someone exactly where they are and simply be with them. Being truly present in the moment with another person is missions.

Missions isn't about waiting for a extraordinary calling; it is saying yes to the ordinary moments with the specific people God has already placed in your life today. When we align our personal vision of mission with God’s, the pressure fades, and love takes over.

Let our mission simply be God’s mission.

Today is a great day to get in God’s word! Just like our DTS and SBS schools are!

Endurance DTS is ready to go to the nations! 🌎🔥 After a powerful lecture phase filled with the study of God’s Word, our students are heading home or wherever God is calling them next!
We are so excited for all that God is going to do through them!

Our EDTS students shared powerful testimonies of how God has been working in their lives throughout the lecture phase. The Bible Core Course students shared how learning to study Scripture has transformed their understanding of God’s Word and how God has revealed Himself to them through Scripture.

Luke 10:2 (ESV)
And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.

Join us in praying for these students as they go, that God would prepare their way, open doors, and soften the hearts of the people and nations they will reach. Pray that they would carry everything God has taught them and faithfully make Him known wherever He calls them.🙏
