About Us

Update for the summer of 2026!

We are sad to announce that during this season, SST will continue to be postponed. However, if you are looking for a summer outreach opportunity, check out what we're doing at this year's World Cup!

SST is YWAM Tyler’s Discipleship & Missions Training Program for Teenagers.

1. Join our community of full-time missionaries for a season
2. Encounter God through interactive teaching
3. Grow in relationships and authentic discipleship

1 week of Lecture + 1 week of Outreach

Phase 1

(First year with SST)

In Phase 1 we want to expose students to the loving and dynamic God of the Bible, equip students with understanding the “how to” of having a relationship with God and hearing His voice, establish what God’s standards are in our modern times, embody what God says. When we act upon what God speaks, we become transformed.

Phase 2

Our goal in Phase 2 is to help the students gain maturity in outwardly expressing his/her relationship with God and see fruit of their ministry, to be an expression of being set apart, to understand their destiny through small steps of obedience in daily life, and to grow in relationships while living a life of submission to Jesus' Lordship.

Phase 3

The purpose of Phase 3 is to help students understand their personal call to missions and bringing kingdom transformation to all the nations of the world.

I was dealing with a lot of shame but God worked with me and never left my side and delivered me from it. I’m still working through it but I know that I’m not alone and I never will be.

Phase A

For me, SST was a time of transformation from hopelessness to refreshing remembrance of the identity and future God has placed before me. I definitely recommend going to SST. It’ll totally change the way you see yourself, others, and God.

Audrey

Phase 2

COME. It will break you down and build you back up a new person in the best way possible. I'm closer to God than I have ever been now and my life is changed in every way.

Mia

Phase B

I learned how to value every individual and be open and vulnerable in my relationships.

Sarah

Phase 3

I found my true identity during the identity session and felt God tell me I am a Missionary.

Zach

Phase A

The way you walk in to SST is not the way you'll walk out. If you're seeking God he'll meet you there.
