Justice & Reconciliation DTS
Bringing you into a more intimate relationship with God.
The Discipleship Training School (YWAM DTS) seeks to bring you into a more intimate relationship with God. It also gives you an opportunity to discover your passions and your part in God’s purposes for the world. It is for those who long to follow Jesus in new ways with a different perspective.
The course is a full-time program and lasts five or six months. It consists of two parts: lecture phase and outreach phase. In the lecture phase, you will learn more about God and His world. You’ll learn not only from lectures but also from community living and practical training. The outreach phase focuses on applying what you learned in the classroom through an intense, cross-cultural experience.
A DTS is the requirement not only for joining the YWAM staff team, but also for YWAM second-level schools. It is also accredited through the YWAM University of the Nations.
Justice and Reconciliation
This course gives students understanding of the character of God in relation to His justice, and how to reconcile humanity to God.
This training is inspired by the current trend of social injustice in our society.
This DTS is also about training young people to impact their communities with the sense of God’s justice, while at the same time rising up with the voice of social justice, accountability and equity to bring glory to God.
We take the students on a tour to places like the slave castles in Ghana where some humans, created in the image of God, once experienced injustice, and which still casts a bleak shadow on our modern day society in every corner of the world.
