Discipleship Training School
The Discipleship Training School (DTS) is designed to help you understand God more deeply, live more like Jesus and identify your unique gifts and purpose to use in missions.
DTS is an intensive, residential training course which begins with a 12 week classroom phase, followed by an 8 week outreach time. The DTS emphasizes cross-cultural exposure and global awareness, preparing students to answer the call to “Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations” Matthew 28:19.
The Discipleship Training School is a requirement for applying as YWAM staff, and serves as a prerequisite to all other training programs.
Venue:
The lecture phase will take place at our YWAM Tampa training facility for three months. The outreach phase will be in the Asia/Pacific region for two months.
University credit:
We offer all the same elements in our lecture and outreach phase curriculums as the standard Discipleship Training School program, thus fulfilling YWAM’s University of the Nations’ (U of N) requirements in order that you receive full credits for completing a DTS. You will receive a total of 24 college credits through the U of N for completing the DTS.
Curriculum:
You will receive weekly teaching from seasoned missionaries providing insight into areas like the nature and character of God, God’s intentions for people and the nations, God’s redemption, God’s family, God’s world and our response to God’s call. Discipleship will also come through small groups, quiet times, worship, intercession, journaling, book reports and weekly outreaches.
Application:
Please go to the “DTS Application Form” page to down load your application. You can contact us with any questions you have by referring to the number or email address below. Once we receive your completed application we will pray over your application and be in touch in regards to your acceptance to the school. If you are accepted you will receive a manual with very detailed information about all aspects of the DTS. You will also receive helpful tools for raising your tuition as you embark on this missions experience.
Upon completion of a DTS, graduates are eligible to apply for staff positions with YWAM International or internships with YWAM Tampa or with Sean and Anne Sanborn in Thailand. You may also want to consider attending the School of Frontier Missions, and get the training you need to help kick start your mission adventure.
