Youth With A Mission Australia

CAFE/BARISTAS DTS

The YWAM Toowoomba Café/Baristas DTS invites you to explore your passion for coffee while deepening your spiritual journey. Over 12 transformative weeks, you'll participate in engaging lectures that focus on biblical teaching, God's character & nature, and personal growth in your relationship with God. You'll learn from experienced instructors and connect with like-minded peers in a supportive community. Throughout the program, you'll have opportunities to develop your barista skills and explore various aspects of café culture. The course culminates in an 8-week outreach phase, where you’ll share your talents locally and globally, spreading the hope of Jesus. Whether you’re a barista, coffee enthusiast, or simply love serving others, this DTS will equip you to make a lasting impact while strengthening your relationship with God. The Café/Baristas DTS is a track under our Prayer & Presence DTS. Join us for this incredible journey!
