The first 12 weeks of DTS are an intensive training period held in the classroom. During this time, you’ll explore a variety of topics designed to bring deep transformation to your heart, soul, and relationship with God. Each lecture is prayerfully prepared to challenge and encourage you, helping you to place your faith at the center of your life and live boldly with purpose.
Through prayer, worship, and in-depth Bible study, you’ll discover who God is and draw closer to His heart and character. A personal and intimate relationship with Him will begin to grow within you.
God still speaks today. You’ll learn how to recognize His voice through biblical principles and real-life examples, gaining confidence in living under His guidance.
This is a time to deeply understand who you are in Christ and the life you were created to live. Through teaching and personal reflection, your calling and purpose within God’s kingdom will become clearer.
You’ll learn to view the world not by worldly standards, but through the lens of God’s Word. You’ll also learn how to apply biblical truth to everyday life and grow in your ability to interpret the world from God’s perspective.
Within a vibrant Christian community that celebrates cultural diversity, you’ll build lasting relationships with fellow students and staff. Your faith and character will grow in community, and experience the beauty of a life walking with God.
The outreach is a journey of faith beyond the classroom. This is a time for you to put the truth you’ve learned into practice and to reflect the love of Jesus through your everyday actions. For about 12 weeks, you’ll step into diverse cultures and bring God’s light to the nations. This is not just a trip—it’s a holy adventure, responding to God’s call for the nations.
In unfamiliar places, among new languages and customs, you’ll learn to share the gospel in their own heart languages. You’ll carry God’s love through your actions, not just words. You’ll gain the wisdom to share love not just through words, but through the way you live—learning how to connect with each culture in ways that are both meaningful and appropriate.
Outreach is ‘our’ journey, not ‘my’ journey. As you serve alongside your teammates from diverse backgrounds, you’ll grow as a leader with humility, patience, gentleness, and resilience. Ministry will be a place where your faith and character are refined.
Wherever we go, whether cities or remote villages, we go where there is need. We put God's love into action with our hands and feet through evangelism, practical service, partnerships with local churches, and community support. Your service won’t just be temporary—it will leave a lasting impact, bearing fruit that remains in the community.
DTS is a transformative time of drawing closer to God. You’ll leave with a stronger faith, a deeper understanding of His character, and the tools to live a life centered on His purposes.
DTS offers more than just classroom learning—it’s an opportunity to engage in hands-on missions. Whether locally or internationally, you’ll be making a tangible difference in people’s lives.
Through DTS, you’ll gain clarity about your personal calling, learning how your unique gifts and passions can be used to serve God’s Kingdom.
DTS is your entry into Youth With A Mission’s (YWAM) global family. You’ll become part of a worldwide community of believers passionate about knowing God and making Him known.
No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, DTS is for anyone eager to grow deeper in their faith, discover their calling, and be part of a global movement to share God’s love. Whether you’re a recent graduate, a professional on a career break, or someone seeking a fresh start, DTS offers the perfect space for transformation and growth.
After DTS you can engage with the broader and global YWAM family, serving in whole world with the gift that God gave you and connecting with people with the same passion for the Lord from the most diverse nations and cultures.
