cross – Cultural Discipleship Training School

Why New York City?   
New York has a gift to the world - the Gateway of Hope to every nation and tongue!

New York was and still is a doorway to liberty for millions of people. Engraved on the monument of the Statue of Liberty is the invitation “Give me your poor and your tired.” Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” The immigrants were given a gift of hope and freedom of religion – to seek True Life! God’s heart for New York is to be a gateway of hope for the salvation of millions from around the world! The mission field has come to New York City.

We are inviting people from every corner of the earth to come and join our Cross Cultural Discipleship Training School in the City of Nations!

The DTS is going to be based in Flushing - the most diverse neighborhood in New York City. The numerous ethnic groups that reside here include people of Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, European, and African American Ancestry. Flushing is claimed to be the birthplace of religious freedom in the ‘new world’ – it has become the symbol of religious pluralism in America.

The mission field has come to the city and we are inviting you to be part of proclaiming the Good News to the nations here in New York and overseas! 

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”’ (Romans 10:14-15)

DTS is designed to help you understand God in a deeper way and live more like Jesus. It is based on communal living, which starts with a 12-week classroom phase, followed by an 8-week outreach time. The school emphasizes cross-cultural exposure and global awareness, preparing the students to go out into the nations to proclaim the Good News! 

When: Lecture Phase: 2012 September 10 – December 30
            Outreach Phase: 2013 December 31 – January 25

Where: YWAM Cornerstone Training Facility

Cost: Lecture Phase $3900 US Dollars
         Outreach Phase $2000 US Dollars
                 (plus airfare and ground transportation)

2 prayer requests


Number 1:

The last two months I had the privilege to serve in the Korean Arts and Design Discipleship Training School.

These are the students  -  I love them all very much and am immensely proud of them! The house was full - but now it is empty. 4 of the DTS staff and the students are currently on their way to India outreach. Half of them are already in India and another half is in Korea sorting out some visa 'issues'.

It has been a privilege to see how God has been shaping these beautiful hearts into the men and women He has called them to be. There's still a lot to learn - but they are all ready to bring the Gospel to those who are lost and are hungry for Truth. Please pray for them as they bring the Good News to the people of India and Nepal.

Also, I want to remind you of the Fall Cross Cultural DTS I am going to lead, starting September 10th. It is a great importunity to dive into God's heart for you! Don't miss the chance and contact me if you have any questions (gintares11@msn.com)

Number 2:

As I have mentioned in my previous posts - my most favorite place in New York is Tompkin's Square Park (you can read some of my earlier posts about the park). Today I visited my friend at the park. I love talking to them-listening to them (even if half of what they say does not make sense because of alcohol and drugs).


This is James King. A 37 year old man - who is asking for you to pray for him. I asked him if it's okay to post his picture and he gave me a thumbs up =) so, this is my friend - James. From an early age (14), he was involved with gangs and drugs and spent a big chunk of time in jail - released 2007.

When I told him that I want to know his story, he told me "look up New York State Department of Justice criminal records..." there is more to James' story than what the records state, and I want to ask you to invest into this man's life by praying for him. please...

"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Mark 2:17 


Shalom! =)
