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.

One way is by having our morning classes in English & Spanish.
