Dear Friends & Family,
I’m writing to share with you about an exciting opportunity and experience that lies ahead for me. At the end of June, I am planning to attend a Discipleship Training School with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Back in 2021 (my Jr year of highschool) I felt YWAM Colorado Springs placed on my heart. After graduation God told me “not yet” and to wait for His timing. Well I am very excited to say after much prayer and thought over the last few years I feel God saying the time is now!
Over the past 45 years, thousands of students have been trained through DTS and most of them would say that it is one of the most significant experiences of their lives. The DTS is an intensive Christian training course that consists of a three month classroom/lecture phase followed by a 2-3 month international outreach into areas of the world that have little or no Christian influence. The DTS aims to encourage students to develop personal character and to cultivate a living relationship with God, and identifying their unique gifts and callings. Cross cultural exposure and global awareness are especially emphasized through the DTS, preparing students to reach the current and future generations.
I hope you see the value in what I am about to engage in and what I hope to accomplish by taking this step. As you can imagine, a trip like this requires financial support from a number of people. I need to raise $3,975 for the lecture phase by June 30th, $2,895 for the outreach phase by July 31st, plus a room deposit and airfare which will be roughly another $1,000-2,000 by June 30th. If you can partner with me in a financial way, I would be very grateful. If you would like to be a part of this mission and investment in my life through your financial support, please contact me or make checks out to

Include with your check a sticky note saying that it is for my DTS tuition. Or give on this page!
Most importantly, I will need some prayer support. Prayer is the fuel that will allow us to be successful as I follow God’s leading. I would really benefit from your prayers as I want to grow in my personal life and ministry. Without prayer, nothing will happen. “Do the possible and allow God to do the impossible”, help me in doing the possible. While money is important, it comes in a distant second to my need for your prayer support. Since prayer support is so important to the success of this mission, I would like to know that I can count on you in that area.
I want to thank you guys for all the support on my different mission trips over the last year and a half! I am so blessed to have people like you in my life and also just knowing you have my back in this is a big deal for me so thank you. If you have any questions about this next season of my life don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to make time to call you or if you live in the Boise area to go grab coffee. I’m grateful God has called me to the nations as a missionary and that He has brought an amazing community of believers around me so I am able to fulfill His calling on my life!
Have a very blessed day!
~With love,
Kalyssa
