Last week, during seventh week lecture for Multipoint DTS, founder of YWAM Loren Cunningham led the Discipleship Training classes joined by four bases, which participated via GENESIS video broadcasting system.

After Cunningham visited Lausanne, Switzerland, for a community meeting in which he commissioned International GENESIS Director Markus Steffan and his wife Anita as the new heads for Lausanne base, he stayed a week to teach.

The Multipoint DTS, the Discipleship Training School of Youth With a Mission, is originally broadcasted from its main bases from Switzerland and Sweden. DTSes in King's Lodge, England, Worcester, and South Africa all tuned in.

Cunningham recounted the transforming works God has done in nations such as Korea, Japan, Norway, and America. He then challenged the viewers to become people of the Word who will go into the nations to finish the task of teaching and discipling.

GENESIS is a video broadcasting system has been used by YWAM in the past to hold “One Voice” events where mutiple nations join in one voice via GENESIS to exchange cultural worship and connect with one another.

The third One Voice event will take place on June 5. Eleven locations have been confirmed to participate in the gathering.

Multipoint DTS began on April 2, 2004 and will conclude on September 17, 2004.
