The day has finally come! The hallways are lined with luggage and rides to the airport will soon commence, as the DTS students are at the long-awaited day. For the next month and a half, they will be thrown into a whirlwind of culture shock and jet-lag, bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a country that many seem to have forgotten. Through the scorching heat and barren lands, our staff and students will travel by foot, bus and possibly the occasional elephant or camel, to those who have never heard the name of Jesus. Aside from performing dances and dramas and speaking to large crowds each and every day, they will also be serving in orphanages, spending time with children, witnessing and ministering to them.
While they will no doubt experience God in many ways and see Him work in peoples' lives, there is still the inevitable battle of the flesh; the struggle against intense heat, humidity, jet-lag and sleep deprivation. Like many of us, there will also be the longing for home, especially during the holiday season. Please keep our staff and students in prayer as they battle these desires daily, in order to further God's Kingdom.
