My Story


My story is something of a short story as of now but I'm looking to make it into a novel as I go out and help people around the world with YWAM. And this is where it all begins.
My name is Nathan Josiah Dvorak and I want to show Love to the world. As simple as that and also just as complicated as it can be, i know that it can be done if I 'let love and faithfulness never leave me; if I bind them around my neck and write them on the tablet of my heart' [Proverbs 3:3].
I'm an easy going guy that enjoys having a good time with friends and making memories. I tend to make the best memories when im playing guitar, soccer, longboarding and doing photography and overall; helping people. 
Through my photography on http://society6.com/IrishSaint06 and donations from my friends, family and supporters such as yourselves, I am looking to raise the $5,000 so I can travel with YWAM and bring the message of Jesus and Love to the world.

About YWAM




This is what I will be doing as of September 25th, 2012
The Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Honolulu is an intense 5 1/2 month course designed to challenge and stretch young people to a deeper relationship with the Lord. We are committed to facilitate the fulfillment of your vision, dreams and ambitions in the Lord. Then take them to the nations of the earth. The school is aimed specifically at 18-30 year olds and runs three times a year. Most say it has radically changed their lives and helped them get to know God in a deep and personal way. The DTS program in Honolulu begins with a 12-week lecture/teaching phase followed by a 10-11 week field assignment or outreach in another nation.


DTS is the gateway into YWAM (Youth With A Mission). YWAM is an inter-denominational, international, mission organization with a heart to reach the nations with the gospel of Jesus Christ, with missionaries and training schools in over 250 locations around the world. (www.ywam.org) DTS is the prerequisite for any other YWAM school and joining the staff at any one of our locations.


The three months of lecture phase are all about personal application of truth, personal character development, and lifestyle of obedience to Jesus Christ. Topics include Character of God, Forgiveness and Repentance, and Evangelism. Every week a different speaker shares on a topic through lectures and application times. Other activities include worship, intercession, sports, work duties and lots of adventures on the island. The lecture phase is followed by two and a half months of outreach, where we head out into the nations to make Jesus known through evangelism, discipleship, church ministry, worship, intercession, and drama/dance.
