Sarah's DTS in Italy

Salve! That means “Hello” in Italian!

Most of you probably know me already, but I still want to introduce myself. I’m Sarah Blevins, and I wanted to share a little bit about my plans for 2026.

In March 2026, I’ll be doing a Discipleship Training School (DTS) with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Trentino in Italy. It’s an Outdoor DTS, and the base is in Arco, a beautiful town at the foot of the Italian Alps. This is something I’ve been dreaming about for a long time, and I’m so excited that it’s finally happening.

What is a DTS?

A DTS is a five-month journey to grow deeper with God. The first three months are the lecture phase, where we get teaching on things like hearing God’s voice, intercession, worship, biblical worldview, the Father heart of God, and building a stronger personal relationship with Jesus. After that, we go on outreach for two months to put everything that we have learned into practice. Outreach isn’t just a trip, it’s where faith really turns into action.

During outreach, I’ll get to step out of my comfort zone, experience new cultures, and hopefully bring hope and encouragement wherever we go. I’m excited to see how God will move, what gifts He’ll grow in me, and how He’ll use this season to shape my life and the lives of others.

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations.” Matthew 28:19

The DTS in Arco runs from Mar 15 to Aug 15. The lecture phase is $3500, and the outreach is $3000 - $3300. Airfare to and from Italy is about $1000.

If you’d like to support me financially, I would be so grateful. Every little bit helps! This whole adventure feels big and a little scary, but also incredibly exciting and life changing.

I’ll keep you all updated as I prepare, and especially while I’m in my DTS. Stay tuned!

Love, Sarah
