YWAM Creative DTS Video from Aalesund Norway

I debated long and hard about adding a video to this site, but I really liked this video that was put together by the YWAM Creative Discipleship Training School from Aalesund in Norway. It was made as a creative application of 2 weeks of teaching on their YWAM DTS.

I wonder which two weeks of teaching this was after.

A Unique YWAM DTS Running Over Two Summers Targets College and University Students

Designed specifically for College and University students the “One DTS” offered by Youth With A Mission Colorado splits the traditional YWAM DTS in half to run over two summers. The first summer is spent in the lecture phase of the DTS. After the lecture phase the student then participates in a local church internship while studying or working. The following summer the students participate in an international outreach with the YWAM DTS.
