DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING SCHOOL 

The Discipleship Training School is a 6 month, full-immersion experience: moving towards God, to know His heart of love, and to go with Him into the world, to complete His Great Commission.  

The core of DTS is discipleship and mission.   

That is worked out through each week in multiple ways, including our Fusion Fridays (worship, freedom & fire!) & in our tracks, where there are more specialised teachings & practices. You choose one track from:  

CREATIVITY ARTS TRACK  

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.

COMMUNICATIONS AND PHOTOGRAPHY 

In our Communications and Photography track, we will be looking at the basic principles of photography and how to be an effective communicator of the gospel through photography. We’ll look at how to operate a camera, know the main functions (ISO, shutter speed and aperture, light and composition), and more. We’ll learn about what it means to really care about others while using photography, challenging you on how to become an effective storyteller. Together we’ll be looking at how to apply Biblical principles of communication and how to communicate with integrity in a world dominated by relativism and fake news. Our hope is that you learn to use your skill and passion for photography as a tool to reach the nations!

CROSS CULTURAL TRACK 

You learn how to be effective in reaching across cultures. This includes a focus on language learning (language depends on outreach location) and how to practically love like Jesus those considered “foreign” or a “outcast”. Phil 2: 2 – 9 

CREATION CARE / ECOLOGY TRACK 

In this track we lay out a theological framework for how we are to care for creation, and how this relates to other aspects of God’s call to engage in his mission in the earth. We look at key environmental challenges, basic scientific arguments and how to manage change. The track offers students ideas of how we can change our behaviour to practise care for God’s creation, and be catalysts for change amongst others. We invite trainees to think up and implement an initiative to change behaviours or habits, either in the school, or on the YWAM base and also to plan a creative outreach which integrates creation care with sharing the kingdom of God with others.  

FOOTBALL (SOCCER) TRACK

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.
