TRAINING

You are not called to the ordinary. Whether at home or abroad, you are called to engage and influence the people and spheres of society around you. A DTS is a semester intensive staffed by disciplers, missionaries, and mission mobilizers aimed to mentor and equip you to transform the world around you. YWAM staff and leaders each bring with them years of experience from ministries and societies all over the world with a value of “do first, then teach.” In addition to their experience, working knowledge, and insight, each week of the school involves 16 lecture hours on a life and culture changing subject taught by a world-class guest speaker in that field. But real spiritual formation requires more than just knowledge, so every week students engage in personal discipleship and character growth through worship and prayer, reading and study, work duties, small groups, and relational one-on-one time with their staff. Just as Jesus modeled discipleship, a DTS is a deep and intimate live/learn environment immersed in authenticity and humility. Here, students will be engaged in holistic development and growth, training their mind, body, and spirit to prepare them for life and ministry—whatever and wherever that may be.
