Your Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a 5-6 month missions experience where you get to know God and make Him known in the nations.
Be transformed as you fuse your heart with God’s, join with young people from many nations and use your gifts to glorify Jesus. The heart of our DTS is facilitating intimacy with God, embracing all the nations represented and for us all to become bridges connecting different languages and cultures. One way is by having our morning classes in English & Spanish.

OUTREACH PHASE (2-3 MONTHS)
The Nations
Travel to the nations with your team to share the love of God, and meet needs in practical ways.
What your outreach can look like:

Our DTS teams often go to the same focus nations or similar regions. This is so you build on partnerships with people and ministries who are on the ground. Your outreach location is announced during the first few weeks of DTS, but in the past we have sent teams to the Himalayas and the Middle East.
SKILLSET TRACKS
Your track time is two hours weekly in Training Phase where you grow in skills in an area of your passions or calling. These times are a combination of workshops and opportunities to put your learning to practice.
Choose a track and develop your skills and passions:
🎨 CREATIVITY & ARTS
In this track,you explore your own creativity. We’re created to create and here you have time to feed that part of you. The track includes coaching and mentoring in your creative project until you take risks and have an impact on the Lord that you never thought you could. (Exodus 31:1-5).
You’ll be encouraged and mentored to approach your creativity as an act of worship. Content of technique training depends on which artistic discipline you want to explore.
✈️ CROSS-CULTURAL
You learn how to be effective in reaching across cultures. You will be exposed to different faiths and religions and how to practically love like Jesus to those considered “foreign” or “outcast”. (Phil 2:2–9)
⚽️ FOOTBALL (SOCCER)
We believe sport can be an avenue for building relationships, discipleship, and sharing the gospel. In this track, we will spend time playing the game and learning to glorify God specifically on the soccer field and team environments.
We will explore areas such as how sports can train us in self-discipline, perseverance, fostering positive team environments, competing well, and honouring God with our physical bodies. We will hone our individual football abilities, and learn how to facilitate matches and coach training sessions.
Whatever language you speak, football brings people together, and we will learn to use the sport to reach people for Jesus.
Prepare to be transformed and receive a life-changing boost from God to equip you for the rest of your life.
