A SPRINGBOARD FOR THE FRENCH SPEAKING WORLD AND BEYOND!
The YWAM base in St Paul is an old farmhouse, situated in 13 acres of terraced land on a wooded hillside at the edge of town. St Paul (Pop. 8,500) is located in southeastern France in the Rhone valley approximately halfway between Lyon and Marseille. We are only about 600km or four hours by TGV (fast train) from Paris!
During my DTS God fully met my expectations. For me it was a great school of trusting God. Developing my trust in God has had an impact on many areas of my life. Of course, it has incredibly changed my relationship with him, but it has also influenced the way that I perceive myself and my relationships with other people. I truly believe that whatever God calls me to, with His help, I will have whatever it takes to accomplish it.
I had a thirst to know God, to discern His voice and to learn to walk daily with Him. I was led by Him to this place to find what spoke not to my intellect but my heart. This time of training has literally changed my life: how I see my past, my identity and and my relationship with Him were transformed.
Overall DTS changed, challenged and encouraged me greatly in my walk with God. Hearing His voice became normal and regular instead of rare and surprising. God has given me a boldness and fire to share the gospel with people and I am so thankful for His leading and faithfulness, glory be to God!
God used this DTS to soften me: He received me in a cocoon full of gentleness and rooted me in His Father’s heart; He received me with all my intelligence, my reflection, my reasoning and taught me to seek the voice of the Spirit. He also made me see other facets of His Kingdom and strengthened my motivation to get involved!
The DTS has changed many things in my life. First of all, I learnt how to know God and now I have a personal relationship with Him. During this time God has freed me from many wounds that I had received in the past. During this school I really felt the love of God, His joy, I knew that He was with me but most of all I felt accepted. During the training there were many challenges and difficulties (but God was there!) but it was through these tests that I was able to grow both personally and spiritually. Throughout the school I truly felt the love and the faithfulness of God !
DTS was the best five months of my life. The lovely community lifestyle combined with the beautiful Provence country side made it an incredible place to learn and rest in God.
The DTS in St. Paul was a very special time for me. My relationship with God has deepened through teachings, times of prayer, praise and sharing. I really enjoyed this time apart, right after I graduated. The opportunity to go deeper with God, grow, experience healing and develop wonderful friendships. It was time for me to move forward in my life, in a consecration to God. I particularly liked the place, very quiet and soothing… walks with God were beautiful moments. In YWAM Provence, I felt surrounded, welcomed and accompanied with a lot of love…!
