What is a DTS?

The Discipleship Training School (YWAM-DTS) is a six-month training that will transform your life! You will deepen your relationship with God and be trained to go into the mission field to make God known. What is unique about this school is that it consists of two parts: being trained in the classroom and being trained on the mission field.

    What is a DTS about?

    Lecture Phase

    Are you searching for a life changing experience and renewing in your life? The lecture phase could just be that for you: get to know God better, be rooted deeper in him, learn to hear God’s voice, dive into his Word and discover his calling for your life. You will learn through inputs, living in a community and you will always get opportunities to put the things you learn straight into practice.

    The DTS lecture phase will be bilingual with Dutch and English translation.

    Outreach Phase

    For the mission trip (also called outreach) your class will split up intro different teams. The focus will be on evangelism, children/youth ministry, mercy ministry and church involvement. You will travel all over the earth, experience new cultures, work with locals and share the gospel. Discover your gifts and talents as you make God known.

    The Bible says:
    “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. (Matthew 28:19 ESV)

    Testimonies

    • Outreach: Community development

      “DTS changed my life and gave me a strong foundation for the future. God is in everything and will lead everything. Before DTS I couldn’t say this with assurance. Now, looking back, I can say it -God is at work in my life. Through my time in Brazil, where I went for outreach, I saw that God works through me and the things that I do, think and feel. He gives me strength when I face a challenge, for example preaching. He comforts me in difficult times and He puts desires in my heart and builds my character."

    • DTS Outreach

      “My relationship with God was turned upside down and has only gotten much better.”

    • DTS student muslim culture

      We went on the street in Brazil with three hundred other enthusiastic Christians. My friend and I asked God if He could to send English speaking people to us. Sure enough ten minutes later there were three English speaking guys who came to us. When we began to speek about faith in God, the Holy Spirit inspired the conversation. He gave us the words so we could answer their questions. God was at work! When we told them that they also could make a choice for God, they became enthusiastic. Shortly thereafter, they made their choice. Yes, three other people who can work in Gods Kingdom!”
