WHAT IS A DTS?
Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a place where you will be transformed by God in a deeper way. It will train, disciple, and equip you to grow in your relationship with God, develop a solid biblical foundation, and serve others. It is also a place where we will grow together, adventure together, and pursue what we are passionate about.
The journey of discipleship with YWAM starts with the Discipleship Training School (DTS). The aim of the DTS is to better discover God's call and meaning on your life. It opens the door to further training through the University of the Nations and in ministry partnered with YWAM. The opportunities, both in YWAM and beyond, are endless!

LECTURE
Lecture phase is designed to help you know God in a direct and genuine relationship with Him through experiential learning.
We will spend three months in Thessaloniki learning from different speakers through their knowledge and passion for God. Each week we will cover a different topic:
After you have completed your lecture phase, it's time to GO!
You will go to an urban area in the Middle East or the 10/40 window to apply what you have learned to share with people who have little to no exposure to or engagement with the Gospel.
We believe this is the time for us to actively respond in love for the lost. Jesus desires for all people from every nation and all languages to come to know Him, and have their lives transformed by Him.
Outreach is your chance to reach out and impact the lives of those who have never had the opportunity to know Jesus.

OUTREACH
YOUR OUTREACH COULD LOOK LIKE...
WHY THE MIDDLE EAST?
The Middle East (and the 10/40 window) has the largest population of unreached people groups. We have a calling to bring the love of Jesus and the good news of the gospel to these places.
WHY CITIES?
Cities are, by definition, cultural, societal, and communal hubs. The change that occurs in the urban context has drastic implications for the nation it's in. These are the places that have communities that tend to be ignored and where the outcast and marginalised communities can be found.
By the end of this school, our hope is that every student would know the direction God is leading them, and have an. idea of the calling He has on their lives.
We desire that our students are championed, encouraged, and prepared to pursue the various passions and gifts God has given them, and are using them to share the love of Jesus.
You will be able to take what is learned during Lecture phase, and the skills acquired on Outreach, and apply them to where God is calling you next, whether that is overseas missions, your university campus, or your future career.
