Comments from Previous DART Conference attendees:
"As a DART 'graduate' I can't tell you how valuable the training was for the kind of work I am now doing. I have been living and working in the horn of Africa since May of 2006. Our organization recently had a professional security consultant on the ground assessing our program and procedures and I was asked to provide a thorough write-up of areas for him to review. Bottom line is that because of the DART conference, I knew exactly what areas relating to security were the most critical, and the consultant was very complimentary of the knowledge that I had. All the credit goes to SWI for creating such a fantastic curriculum for the conference." Former DART Graduate.
“The DART Conference this year was fantastic. Not only did I learn a ton of valuable information, but I soaked in the fellowship with so many hearts committed to service to Christ and to those in distress around the world. Prior to a recent trip to southeast Asia, I found myself scouring my DART notes for everything from packing lists to anti-malarial information to terrorism prevention tips!” Jonathan Morse, Gray, Maine.
“From the stirring evangelistic inspiration, to the invigorating team-building exercises, the conference was so SOLIDLY BUILT on a foundation of Biblical excellence. I would recommend that anyone planning to minister overseas in any capacity attend the DART Conference, as a wise and prudent form of stewardship. I have attended many, many conferences, but never have I been so absolutely impressed. DART was invigorating, enlivening, and illuminating. Highly, highly, highly recommended!!!” David Belote, Bozeman, Montana
