everything I have commanded you,”

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

“SWI has put together the most unique and worthwhile Non Governmental Organization training event in this country. All NGOs with international projects should consider sending representatives to this event.” David Hamon, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Stafford, Virginia.
