Youth with a mission
This tragedy apparently took place at one of their Discipleship Training Schools (DTS). According to their website, the DTS are designed:
“…to encourage students to develop in personal character, to cultivate a
living relationship with God, and to identify their unique individual gifts and
callings in God. Cross-cultural exposure and global awareness are special
emphases throughout these courses, preparing the students to reach current and
future generations and answer the call to “Go into all the world and make
disciples of all nations” Matthew 28:19.”
Most of the people at one of these Discipleship Training Centers are not professioal missionaries, but ordinary high school and college age kids from around the country. YWAM is a good organization. Please pray for them as well as the victims and their families.
UPDATE: Fox News just interviewed Susan Medina of the Arvada Colorado Police Department. She said the shooting took place at 12:30 AM Sunday and that four people were shot by a lone gunman. The victims were rushed to the hospital. The gunman is reported to have been a white male about 20 years old, possibly with a beard, wearing a dark colored jacket and dark beenie. The shooter has not yet been caught.
