A Discipleship Training School is an intense 5-6 month program through YWAM. The purpose of this school is to help the student grow in their relationship with God and be equipped to make God known to others. Topics included the Character and Nature of God, Hearing God’s Voice, the Holy Spirit, Worship and Intercession, Godly Leadership, Evangelism and Pioneering Ministries, Sin and Repentance, Godly Relationships, and more. YWAM offers schools all over the world with different focuses as well. For example, sports, worship, frontier missions, justice, children’s ministry, and backpacking are just a few specialties. After attending my own DTS, I felt like I needed to come back and staff in order to grow more in my walk, learn how to disciple others well, and learn to work better cross-culturally, before getting into my own ministry. Staffing DTS challenging but helped me grow so much, as well gave me a way to pour into the lives of my students. We had 3 months of lectures and three months of outreach each school. Some of the places we did outreach included Thailand, India, Vietnam, and Cambodia. For more information on DTS, check out our page on YWAM.
