At the start of our Summer DTS, I got the guys together to create a pledge to the girls in our DTS. YWAM Denver has strict rules on starting a romantic relationship during your DTS, and I wanted us to all honor those rules by getting our hearts together and writing our own pledge to the girls. The girls never knew we were doing this, but every night we would get together for prayer and repeat this out-loud. We all wrote some bits of this, but Eric Davis did such a fantastic job of his, that about 85% of the iPledge was his writing.

Fell free to use this for your own DTS altering ts as you see fit. It would give me a HUGE buzz to know someone else is using this, so send me an email and let me know if you do.


iPledge

We the men of the YWAM Denver Summer DTS pledge this before God and each other.

We pledge to honor all of you as our sisters in Christ and show our desire to be unified with you in one spirit, under the Lordship of Christ.

We pledge to respect you and not make inappropriate or sexist jokes that demean you.

As your brothers, we also desire to protect you - whether it be protecting your hearts or protecting you physically wherever we go.

We will pray for you continually, interceding for you all before our Father.

In addition, we promise to to be pure in thoughts, motives and actions toward each and every one of you and promise that we will not enter into a romantic relationship until the appropriate time at the end of DTS and then only at the Lord's leading.

We also desire to be strong leaders, leading by example and in humility in all that we do.

Moreover, we want to serve and encourage you all as Godly women, spurring you on to love and good deeds and making use of the unique gifts and abilities God has blessed you with.

Most importantly, we want to love each one of you in everything we do because of the love Christ first showed us.

This is our pledge. Amen.
