DTS is all about knowing God and making Him known. The purpose of this Discipleship Training School is to gather and challenge people to worship, listen, and obey God. It releases them to serve through evangelism, intercession, acts of compassion, and other expressions of God’s heart for the world. This can even involve pioneering new ministries to inspire and cultivate growth in one’s relationship with God, resulting in Christ-like character.

The foundation for this transformation is based on a solid Biblical foundation, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the personal application of biblical truth, especially concerning God’s character, the cross, and empowering grace. Our aim is to sharpen one’s ability to relate to, learn from, and work with people, including those of different cultures, personalities, and perspectives.

The 6-month training will equip each participant to serve God’s purposes either within or outside of YWAM Family of Ministries. We strengthen a commitment to reach the lost, especially the unreached, care for the poor, and influence all areas of society. Additionally, we impart the vision and foundational values of Youth With A Mission International, as well as YWAM Butuan. We provide information about a variety of service opportunities.
