I have to temporarily shut down this blog while she is overseas for safety purposes, so please email me and I will keep you updated as soon as I hear any word from her. I will open a new blog eventually so please email me if you want to find out about her whereabouts and ministry, as that will be my only way to contact you with the new blog address.

Who is Carrianne anyway?

In September of 2008, I arrived in San Francisco to start my DTS ( Discipleship training school). I have grown up in the Bay Area, but never had a strong desire to live in San Francisco. God really rocked my world during my DTS and in my heart I knew San Francisco would be my new home. I have been on staff with YWAM for almost 3 years. I worked full-time with Mission Adventures but last year felt called to switch ministries to DTS. Now I help Disciple young men and women and point them towards JESUS!!! I walk along side these students for the 6 month long school. 3 of those months we spend here in the city doing ministry work while learning different topics like how to hear Gods voice or forgiving others. Then we have 3 months overseas. Our fall school focuses on south east Asia while our Winter school focuses on Italy. I have now staffed both schools and God always teaches me new and amazing things!!!

I have no idea how long I will feel called to San Francisco, but this place and these people are very dear to my heart.I just re committed another two years last June and will be starting another school in September 2012. I appreciate all your prayers and support. I hope to update my blog often to let you all know how things are going!!!
Love, Carrianne

What's a.. DTS?

Lecture Phase: The first portion of the DTS is spent at our training facility just blocks away from the hub of the city, located in the Tenderloin neighborhood. Surrounded by urban needs and challenges students are encouraged to dig deep in pursuing God through lectures, small group discussions, reading assignments, and personal reflection. In this significant location, students experience God in extraordinary ways. God reveals himself through the life and people of the city. Some of the topics that are covered during DTS by speakers from around the world and country are: - Hearing God's Voice - The Character and Nature of God - The Cross - Relationships Reaching Out to the City Out of the overflow from our relationship with Christ, comes the ministry. Our DTS allows students the opportunity to grow with God alongside daily ministry experience. Our streets are filled with people longing for truth, which inevitably creates open doors. Each week every DTS student will choose a ministry that engages their passion and gifting. Previous schools have worked with at-risk youth through an after school club, lead Bible studies in our Ellis room (homeless drop-in center), reached out to female prostitutes (Because Justice Matters), shared art with street kids, evangelized university campuses etc. Outreach : DTS students will spend one month in San Francisco and two months in target nations doing daily ministry with a strong emphasis on evangelism and mercy ministry. Outreach enables students to put into practice what they have learned through practical, hands on involvement. Both the Fall School and the Winter School visit different cities in the world and focus on different ministries. In previous schools, the teams have ministered in Vietnam teaching English to college age students, visiting Thai slums, building a school in Morocco, visiting university campuses in Rome, working on projects to reach those caught in sex-trafficking and using performing arts in the famous piazzas of Italy. The possibilities are endless! Click below to find out more about the schools and their specific focuses.
