Why do all branches of the military run boot camps? To sharpen character, build unity, and prepare their personnel for challenges ahead. An unfocused, undisciplined, disorganized army is courting disaster.

What would the spiritual version of West Point look like? Probably a lot like a YWAM Discipleship Training School, called DTS for short. DTS sharpens character, builds unity, and prepares YWAMers for missions challenges ahead. But unlike a military boot camp, DTS teaches us as Christians to do more than follow the directions of our Commanding Officer, God. It teaches us to understand His heart.



DTS serves as a time to invest in these areas:

• Knowing God in depth
• Gaining tools and experience for telling others of your relationship with Christ
• Forming Christian character
• Establishing Biblical relationships with God, family, and friends
  
  
  Rather than having students simply accumulate information, DTS strives to develop each student’s daily walk with God. The five- or six-month program consists of three months of classroom teaching Lecture Phase and two or three months on Outreach where you are actively taking what you learned in the classroom and sharing it with others, usually in a cross-cultural setting.
