DTS
Discipleship Training School (aka DTS) is an intense course that will give your faith a power boost! Learn from people who walk with God, enjoy living with other passionate followers of Jesus, grow in your calling and serve people on your short-term mission trip abroad!
You want to experience more with God, understand yourself better and make international friends?
DTS is not everybody. But if you are hungry for more of God and ready to face a challenge, then DTS is your thing! You will grow in faith over the six months. Live and learn with others directly from the Bible and from expert speakers on topics such as discipleship, identity in Christ, and mission.
Together with your team you will go on an international mission trip and bring help and hope where it is needed. And you get to know people from other countries around the world.
Our discipleship training school is bilingual. Everything is translated into German or English.
By the way: the Discipleship Training School is a study course at the University of the Nations (UofN) and if you participate successfully, you will be credited with one credit per week.
So what exactly is a DTS?
The Discipleship School or better known as DTS (for Discipleship Training School) is a kind of Bible school followed by a short-term mission outreach. The course lasts about half a year and has been offered by YWAM (Youth with a Mission) for many years in many locations around the world. All DTS follow a similar pattern: a twelve-week block of lectures is followed by a practical short-term outreach in teams, which lasts two to three months and takes place somewhere abroad. All this time the participants live and learn together. Anyone who wants to continue with YWAM must first do a DTS. This means that after the DTS the doors are open to you in YWAM all over the world.
