Couples DTS

The Couples Discipleship Training School (aka DTS) is a 5 month long course that will take your faith and marriage to a new level! Deepen your relationship with God and your partnership with your spouse and serve others on your short-term mission trip abroad!

Do you want to reach a higher level of connection in your partnership - and with God?

Are you ready to transform your marriage and uncover God’s purpose for you both? Do you want to be equipped to go to the “ends of the earth”? You learn with other couples from all over the world directly from the Bible from expert speakers. Together with your team you go on an outreach bringing help and hope where it is needed.

So what exactly is a Couples DTS?

The Couples DTS is a kind of bible school followed by a short-term mission outreach. It’s for couples old or young (without children) who want to invest 5 months of their lives into their marriage and into God’s kingdom. This course has two parts: Classroom phase (12 weeks) and Outreach phase (9 weeks).

Together - reaching higher!

Classes, activities, mentoring, worship times and prayer are all designed to help you grow (together) on different levels.

"We experienced God-centered teaching, that was transformative in how we now treat one another, especially in the area of conflict resolution.

It opened our eyes to how our relationship can be a testimony and influence to the world around us."

Classroom Phase (12 weeks)

We have some amazing topics waiting for you to dig into. Our speaker couples come from all over the world, covering a wide range of topics and bringing in their own mission experience. Every class will give you time to process with your spouse what you have just learned. You'll also have a mentor couple offering marriage coaching, accountability, prayer or just a listening ear!

Outreach Phase (9 weeks)

There’s no better way to make lasting changes than through putting into practice and telling others what you’ve learned! Jesus said “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations... .” During this time, you’ll be working with local believers, supporting local churches, sharing about Jesus, and helping run one or more marriage workshops together as a team.

Unfortunately we have to cancel the Couples DTS 2026 because we did not get enough applications.

Training Young Leaders

From February 15–20, nearly 30 people of all ages stayed at our center – an international group from Spain, Belgium, Italy, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands... and, of course, Germany. Together, we conducted the B2B program – Be the Leader God Wants You to Be – a training course for leaders that teaches values-based leadership. Topics such as passion for God, servanthood, integrity, teamwork, creativity, and strategy were covered, as were character, personality,

Sustainable marriage work

When we held the first Reapp marriage workshop in Kenya in 2018, we had no idea what would come of it. One of the participants, Pastor David Mutunga, was so moved that he asked us to return—with the hope of training couples who could carry on the work independently. Marriages face challenges everywhere. But when couples learn to communicate with respect and handle conflict well, more than just their relationship changes – families and entire communities are transformed. In th

Sow with Hope, Reap with Joy

Investing in our relationships is like gardening. First, we take the time to prepare the bed, spread compost and create the right conditions for growth. Then comes the time for sowing, planting and sprouting. When the first young shoots appear, we spend a lot of time weeding and watering to give the precious plants space to thrive. And eventually, the plants are strong enough to bear fruit – sometimes so much that we can even share some with our neighbours! Every now and then
