<\/strong>The DTS outreach must be designed in keeping with the official policies as outlined in the UofN Reference Guide. These elements are included in the following document and are marked with an asterisk (*). They are non negotiable.<\/p>\n
<\/strong> Added to these non-negotiable elements are other agreed upon \u201cfruitful practices\u201d. These additional fruitful or best practice elements are ideals to work towards. Any individual outreach may have situations that prevent one or more of these added best practice particulars from being fulfilled. However, the goal is to run an outreach that incorporates most of these practices.<\/p>\nTable of Contents<\/h3>\n

APPENDIX A<\/b><\/h5>\n
<\/b>These scenarios demonstrate some of the different processes of how an outreach team can be formed, and some of the principles at work in each situation. You will note that
common themes throughout all of the scenarios are:<\/p>\n\n
you identify different ways God may lead you.<\/p>\n
<\/b>A base has 2 target peoples or places to which they regularly send their outreach teams. Those on the base who carry the vision of these “targets” spend time in prayer with the DTS staff and students to bring them into the vision that God has given the base for those nations. The outreach teams go to these nations as they are convinced that God is sending them, not purely because this is the place outreach teams from this base go.<\/p>\n\n
\n
<\/b>A member of the DTS staff believes that God has spoken to them about taking a team to a certain nation that is different from any nation focus the base has. They bring it before the DTS and base leadership and through prayerful process this location is agreed together with base leadership.<\/p>\n\n
<\/b>1 month prior to the DTS starting the staff team does not have a clear sense of where God is sending them for this particular outreach. As they pray they begin to sense that God is saying to wait until the students arrive to decide upon outreach locations. As they continue to pray this feeling is confirmed through others and so very quickly at the beginning of the lecture phase the whole school starts to pray about outreach locations. Clear boundaries are expressed to the students on how the decision will be made (e.g. the final decision rests with the leadership.)<\/p>\n\n
<\/i>D.) Outreach team ministers to multiple locations
<\/b>One member of the staff team senses that their outreach is to go to multiple locations. Through prayer, this word is confirmed by DTS and base leadership. A team is formed through a prayerful process with the DTS students. As the outreach is planned, careful attention is placed on how to use the additional travel time effectively. Additional travel time is used for intercession and debriefing the previous outreach location so that the criteria for a full learning week is fulfilled. Ministry at each location is carefully thought through and processed so that the team can jump straight into outreach upon arrival<\/p>\n\n
<\/i>E.) God surprises school with additional outreach
<\/b>Three outreach locations prayerfully determined before start of school. Early on in lecture phase, God surprises the school with faith and vision for one additional nation. Prayerful consideration is given to whether or not this location should be pursued. Base and school leadership either approaches someone to lead or someone comes forward with conviction to lead. Base and school leadership take new leader back to God in prayer.<\/p>\n\n
<\/b>Base\/School leader has vision for nation and\/or ministry. Approaches staff in general or a specific staff member to pray about taking a team. Staff member hears from God and responds.<\/p>\n\n
<\/b>In the midst or prior to school, a world event occurs (i.e. earthquake, tsunami, Communism falls, China opens, etc.) that presents huge possible outreach opportunities. Someone within the base or school feels that a team should respond. Communication is made with YWAM leaders on the ground about possibilities and opportunities for service then the school prays about what their response should be. Someone is prayerfully called to lead it.<\/p>\n\n
