The Discipleship Training School (YWAM-DTS) is a six-month training experience with the central purpose of knowing God and making Him known. It’s an intense, full-time training broken down into two parts, the lecture and outreach phase. It is your first step into missions.
This special DTS aims to bring all generations, denominations and nations together to grow in radical worship and dedication to the One who saved us. For families with children we have made accommodations so they can have an awesome DTS experience as well.
The Lecture Phase is twelve weeks which provide you with the opportunity to grow and learn in many ways. It includes class lectures, small group discussions, assignments, worship and prayer times, evangelism, community life, practical work duties and much more. Speakers from the Netherlands and from abroad will encourage and challenge you to deepen your roots in God through their teaching and testimony.
This DTS is bilingual: English and Dutch.
For the Outreach Phase you will go cross culturally to another country in order to put what you’ve learned into practice. This includes sharing the Gospel through teaching and conversations, drama, sports, practical service and acts of mercy. Outreach is sharing Jesus with people from a country you’ve probably never been to before. Our outreach locations are split into 3 focus areas.
In this outreach you will be focusing in getting the gospel out to unreached people groups in a way that is appropriate for that culture. Unreached people groups have limited access to the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this outreach you will grow in the ministry of frontier missions, learn from workers and gain real life experience. Are you willing to go? This outreach will probably go to Asia.
In this outreach you will focus on evangelism, discipleship and church planting in Europe. Europe has become a mayor mission field, but there are many opportunities and sparks of hope. Learn how to address people with a western world view with the message of the Kingdom of God. Be encouraged to see that you can be a strong agent of change in western society! Do you want to make a stand? You can guess yourself to which continent we will visit!
In this outreach you will focus on restoring broken families, bringing generations together and the ministry of reconciliation. The enemy has succeeded to build a world system which results in great pain and misery in marriage, parenthood and relationships in general. There is great need for Biblical truths in families, so God can bring restoration and healing. To invest in families is of great importance to see the Kingdom of God sustained and grow in a society for the long run. Do you want to build Gods Kingdom of truth and righteousness in the middle of brokenness? This outreach will probably go to Africa.
