The value that comes from meeting peoples simple, physical, immediate needs on a consistent basis is immeasurable.

"A Christian artist does not need to paint “religious art” nor does a Christian TV producer need to produce Christian television. Rather, how can the values of the kingdom, as reflected in the Sermon on the Mount, the fruit of the Spirit, or the principles of Biblical passages be exhibited, implemented, and bring guidance to your sphere of influence?"

- Tim Svoboda and Pierre LeBel, YWAM City Leaders

"For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things." Psalms 107:9

It may not look like much, but these doors are the beginnings of relationship. The 15 minutes someone from the streets gets in one of these showers may be the safest 15 minutes of their week and since it's impossible to grow relationship without safety, showers has become a critical way in which we see people take the first step towards health, sobriety, and love.

"At 23, I felt that I was a couple years late to the DTS experience. But little did I know how perfectly Jesus had arranged that season for me and little did I know how it would propel me towards such deep, rich seasons after my time with DTS was done. My life would not be as abundant as it is now had I not made the choice to follow the call of Jesus into YWAM." -Isaiah, YWAM SF Staff

We will be launching our DTS next month and it is not too late to sign up and join! If you've done a DTS before, please tag a friend who you think would benefit from the experience- we'd love to go on that journey with them!
