Our Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a 6 month intense journey of devotion, community and hands-on learning designed to facilitate your spiritual and missional formation. In other words, it serves to help you to know God better, to develop personal character, and then to live a lifestyle of making God known to others. It further aims to help you exercise faith while cultivating a living, intimate relationship with God and identifying your unique gifts and life callings. DTS just might change your life!

The DTS is also a great time to make new friends from around the world as you live and learn together in community. Cross-cultural exposure and global awareness are special emphasis during the school, preparing you to go and "make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19). DTS is only the beginning.

It is the entry way into further involvement with YWAM, qualifying you for hundreds of staff opportunities and many other YWAM training programs. Join us for the adventure of a lifetime! You will never be the same again.
