The past few months have been an exciting journey for the DNA Team with some amazing God opportunities to serve opening up as new exciting partnerships and connections have been made.
We are humbled and so privileged to be able to say that DNA is now the church based gap year provider for

Having sent trainees over 2011 through our relationship with Urban Saints, Amor are partnering with us to develop this relationship of DNAers serving in Mexico, but also for Amor to send some of their interns to the UK for 6 months of the DNA year before returning to complete their internship in the USA.
The Baptist Union of Great Britain recognise that the denomination wants to develop and serve not only it's young emerging leaders but also the baby boomer generation.

Pioneer has been our family home. The friendships, apostolic cover and connections found within the Pioneer network have been the roots from which it grew. We are delighted that Pioneer continue to be a network of churches who partner with us in the development of emerging leaders.

The Scottish Network Churches is a network of churches and church leaders who have linked together with a heart to see Scotland impacted by God's Kingdom. We are thrilled that we can partner with them as their discipleship year out provider to the same ends.
Urban Saints with whom we have worked for many years on programmes such as ReAct, are now partners with DNA, as their gap year programme/provider which they recommend to their 900+ church based groups across the UK to use for their young people.
YMCA London South West is the largest YMCA in the UK with 17 Centres, 400 staff and 120 volunteers, and several thousand members using their facilites each week. The YMCA recognises that the organisation needs leaders to take them forward into the future and is now partnering with DNA to recruit individuals who will do their action as part of the YMCA Centre, and with potential for a job opportunity at the end of their year. The trainee will be based in a local church for their discipleship during their year.
We are truly excited and humbled by how these connections and relationships have come about and we look forward with anticipation to see how God will use this unity and how we can serve one another in the coming months and years! What has God got in store for all of this!?
