Ephesians 2:10
God will be our teacher as we learn about our values, which will guide our decisions, help us set goals, solve problems, and much more.
The course’s focus is not on theory—although theoretical parts are included—but rather on the results in the participants’ lives.
A variety of tools enrich the implementation of our projects. Regarding God’s purpose for our lives and the expansion of the Kingdom of Heaven, we strive with dedication to gain knowledge and seek these tools, ensuring we do not do God’s work carelessly.
LTS is taught primarily by Jim Stier, the founder of YWAM Brazil. He motivates us to discover, through God, the good works we should walk in to impact nations. Over three months, we will work on a project designed to align with these purposes. There are people focused on everything and there are those focused on nothing, waiting for what will happen.. Biblically, this is not an acceptable way of life. “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Eph. 2:10). We cannot have a passive attitude.
