Leopold
KIWANUKA
Uganda, Africa
I was born in 1959 and raised within a Catholic back ground. In my early days I was well taken care of by my parents. In my teenage years, I went astray along with my friends; my life went far from the norm. In 1980 I came to know the Lord and was even taken back to school at that time. I went on to study at University level in the field of Library Science. In 1987 I finished school and went on to do a DTS in Uganda. After the DTS I was involved in pioneering the work of YWAM in Uganda.
In 1990, I got married to Prossy and between us we have 4 Children. The first is 13 years old, a boy called Arthur. The second child is a girl named Angel, who is now 12 years old. Then we had another boy named Alan David who is 4 years old now. The youngest girl is named Deborah and she will turn 3 years old in November of 2004.
I have completed the following schools in YWAM’s University of the Nations
including: Communication Core Course, 1989 in Switzerland; Leadership Training
School in 1992; Foundations in Community Development in 2000; Applied Principles
of Communication in 2003. In between all of those schools I also attended
a lot of U of N Workshops in other U of N Colleges including Community Counseling
Seminar, School of Biblical Studies Workshop, Early Childhood Education Seminar,
Leadership Development Seminars and Basic Leadership courses.
I have been working with the DTS since 1988 and primarily serve in the East
Africa Region.
David and Joylynn LANDSHUT
Cape Town South Africa
Dave and Joylynn are from Seattle, Washington. They have two daughters, one son in law, and one grandchild. In 2001, they left their business of building custom homes to do a CDTS in Kona, Hawaii. Giving their business away and fulfilling the call to fulltime missions was a major turning point in their lives. Since then, they have been serving in Youth With A Mission for 10 years working primarily with DTS. Over the past four years, they have traveled back and forth from the U.S. to Cape Town, South Africa. During this time, they have been staffing the Making Disciple Makers School, training and equipping leaders. Joylynn teaches Destiny by Design in DTS’s throughout Africa, Europe, Australia and the U.S. She is passionate about seeing people come into their destiny.
Dave and Joylynn have a heart for Africa, and for the issue of injustice. Therefore they moved to South Africa in January of 2010. They will not only serve the DTS Centre, but also serve to bring justice in local outreach. They are pioneering a job creation program for women with HIV/AIDAS called The Justice Doll. The Justice Doll is a tool that brings awareness to areas of injustice like Human Trafficking and HIV/AIDS. Dave’s ministry, Build a Better Shack, works to train Xhosa men construction skills. Both ministries are in the local township of Masiphumelele.

Carla Daniela de Paulo (Carlinha) is from Campinas, a prosperous city near São Paulo, Brazil. Since her teenage years and through her experience with King's Kids she developed a great love for God and His work. She graduated with honors from The University of Campinas (UNICAMP), one of the most prestigious ones in South America, with a degree in Education.
Soon after that she came to YWAM and did her DTS in 2002, at the Praise Village Base and stayed on as staff ever since, always working with DTSs. She has grown in the vision of helping to bring the DTS and other schools in YWAM into context, adjusting it to the current generation of students. She is an innovator and one of her main strengths is her heart for people and her loyalty. In 2006 Carla spent some months in Europe, to improve her English and that also opened more doors for her in YWAM International.
In 2007 she did the school "Making Disciple Makers" and connected with other segments of the U of N. Since then she has been taught "Destiny by Design" and other subjects. She is currently taking her Master's Degree in Psychology and is the Training Department Coordinator at YWAM Praise Village. Her commitment, creativity and leadership paved the way for her role as part of the DTS National Center in Brazil.
