Hey there! My name is Maddie Adams and I was a trainee on the October 2010 Discipleship Training School. I am one of those people who can say DTS changed my life. When I arrived in Scotland, I was full of fear and doubt and misunderstanding, but I knew that I had six months of loneliness to get through, so I may as well press on as hard as I could (Phil 3:14). Over the course of lecture phase day after day God had me lay myself down at the cross and just come into a deeper place of intimacy and trust with him. From not being able to trust God, He led me to a place where I found that I could lay my worldly life at the cross and I was reborn into the living relationship with God that I was desiring with all my heart.During the course of DTS I had a choice, and the choice was to either want the more of God, or stay lukewarm the way I was. I chose to go after God with everything I had, and I saw the miraculous, I dreamed dreams, I saw spiritual things and that was only because I stayed so close to God and refused to let go. He spoke something very clear to me when I was on outreach and it was the word "beloved" but He told me that I needed to let myself "be-loved" by Him and since that day I have been learning to rest in my Father knowing that He loves me and He is closer than I can imagine.
During DTS I was picked up and all the worldly desires were shaken out of me, and now at the other side I can see the glory of God working through my life and how now I want to be serving Him for the rest of my life.
