PHASE 1
Maximize.
Our YWAM DTS begins with a one-of-a-kind Prep Course. We intentionally created this foundational two-month program to prepare all our students to be ready and equipped to make the absolute most of their journey towards knowing God and powerfully impacting the nations! Because we desire every student would have the most effective DTS Experience, our Prep Course is required for all students.
The Prep Course will immerse you in our discipleship community, and help you adjust to life on base and the culture of Thailand, while also providing the essential tools and practical skills to thrive in your DTS. It’s more than a course—it’s the start of embracing God’s call to go all-in during this consecrated time unto the Lord.
The Prep Course begins online requiring only a few hours of remote engagement per week. The course then moves to in-person training which leads up to the DTS start date. There is no additional cost for the Prep Course. Food for the month of August will be your only expense during this time.
Prep-Course
Pursue God.
The first 3 months of the YWAM DTS is known as the lecture phase of the school and is spent on our campus in Trang, Thailand.
During this time, you will focus on knowing God, His Word, and fostering a love for the nations. You will seek transformation, a renewed mind, and personal growth alongside your staff team and students.
You’ll learn not only from teachers and speakers from around the world but also from community living and practical training and service in the community.
PHASE 2
LECTURE
PHASE 3
Make God Known.
Once the Lecture phase is finished, you will enter the Outreach Phase of your YWAM DTS. Here you will be activated into the nations with your students and staff to serve amongst the neediest peoples of the earth and be the hands and feet of God.
You will partner with ministries in your school's target nation(s) and work amongst the Unreached and marginalized of the world, sharing the Gospel daily and serving the last, the least, and the lost.
You and your team will daily put into effect all that you have learned from your Lecture Phase. Serve in practical ways, preach the Gospel, love those around you, and expand the Kingdom of God.
OUTREACH
ENTER INTO YOUR CALLING.
One of the goals of YWAM DTS is to learn how to hear God's voice and discover your calling. Students are challenged to take what they've learned from YWAM DTS and pray to God about what their next steps in life will be.
Whether it's being sent out as a missionary, pioneering new ministries, joining staff, or pursuing a secondary school through YWAM, we aim to mobilize YWAM DTS graduates into their God-given callings.
