The Discipleship Training School (DTS) will help you to know God better and grow in your ability to make Him known. You'll begin by focusing on your relationship with God during the 11 - 12 week classroom phase. Then you'll embark on outreach for another 8 - 12 weeks of making God known throughout the world.Here at YWAM Durban we have sent DTS outreach teams to New Zealand, Zimbabwe and have done a lot of ministry here in South Africa. In January 2006 the DTS went on a two month outreach to Argentina and Brazil.
What is a DTS
It is an intensive Christian training course beginning with an 11 week lecture phase followed by a 8 - 12 week practical field assignment. The DTS is designed to encourage students in personal character development, cultivating a living relationship with God and identifying their unique individual gifts and callings in God. Cross cultural exposure and global awareness are special empsis during the course, preparing the students to reach current and future generations and answer the call to “ Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations.
Get firmly established in your Christian faith. Expose yourself to the world of global missions. Be challenged to listen to the voice of God. Reach the destination in your life. Use your creativity to communicate God
