things i say that you might not know

Sometimes I use words or phrases in my blog that most normal people might not know much about, so here's a brief explanation of some things I say regularly...


YWAM: Youth With A Mission. Organization I am working with for the time being. The largest missionary organization in the world, celebrating it's 50th year of "Knowing God and Making Him Known."


DTS: Discipleship Training School. YWAM's most basic course, a six month entry level school, where students learn about hearing the voice of God, understand the Father's heart, and their identity in God, among other things.



Fire & Fragrance: The prayer and worship focused DTS I've been in since January. The heart of Fire & Fragrance is to "establish authentic community, centered around the presence of God, leading unto revival and reformation."


ComTrans: Community Transformations DTS. A DTS focused on intimacy with God leading to fruitfulness in seeing communities transformed.


Burn: Set apart time slots for worship, adoration, and prayer. Typically "burns" are 24 hours, however, they can range in any amount of time. (also, any reference in blog posts to "burning" or "blazing" just means to worship and pray, for any amount of time.)
