What Is The Discipleship Training
School?
The Discipleship Training School
(DTS) is a program of Youth With A Mission (YWAM).
The purpose of
the DTS is to prepare Christians for the mission field by edifying a
solid foundation and a Biblical world view in the lives of the
participants. This goal is achieved by teachings focused
on knowing God, personal guidance to mold a Christ-like character,
and by serving in the mission field for some time.
The DTS is an intensive course of
24 weeks; twelve weeks of classes and twelve weeks of practice in
the mission field. Each week of classes is dedicated to a specific
topic. Besides classes, daily meetings will be held for praise and
worship, intercession, personal and group counseling,
fellowship, etc. The daily schedule includes also times for work
duties and physical labor.
What are the topics studied in the
DTS?
➢ The Christian and his
God
This area includes topics like:
Knowing God in a more personal way; how to listen to His voice and
understand His will; how to lead a devotional life; understanding
God's character, His sovereignty over all things and circumstances;
His way to deal with our lives; etc.
➢ The Christian and his
Bible
How to read, study and meditate in
the Word of God and apply His Word in our
personal lives and
ministries. How to live according to Biblical principles.
The
Bible is considered as the ultimate and absolute
authority.
➢ The Christian and his
Relationships
How to love our neighbor; what
should be our attitude towards our parents, authorities, those under
our authority, other Christians, co-workers in the mission field
and
towards those who don't know Christ. What is God's plan for
marriage and engagement?
➢ The Christian and his
enemy
Knowing the strategies of the
enemy and understanding the authority of Christ. Understanding our
responsibility in spiritual warfare in order to establish God's
Kingdom in our lives and in this world.
➢ The Christian and his
Message
The message of salvation and
eternal life in Christ and living a life in agreement with His Word
is the message for all nations of all times. How to take this
message until the ends of the earth.
How and Where Will the DTS Be
Held?
The twelve week classroom
time will be held at the
TARAHUMARA CHRISTIAN CENTER in
Creel Chihuahua, Mexico. The
classes will be taught by DTS staff members and guest teachers who
have experience in the mission
field and much understanding of
the Word of God.
During the twelve weeks of
practice the students will be sent out in groups of two or more to
different locations in the Sierra Tarahumara in order to put in
practice what they have learned during the lecture phase and to
experiment life in the mission field.
These locations will be carefully
chosen for the safety of the students and to guarantee a
continuation of the missionary work after the DTS students
leave.

Who is
YWAM?
Youth With A Mission is a Christian mission
organization with ten bases in Mexico and over a thousand bases all
over the world. The primary purpose of this organization is to make
disciples of all nations of the whole world and to fulfill this
Great Commission working together with the local churches
established in every nation.
YWAM Statement of
purpose:
Youth With A Mission is an
international movement of Christians from many denominations
dedicated to presenting Jesus Christ personally to this generation,
to mobilize as many as possible to help in this task, and to the
training and equipping of believers for their part in fulfilling the
Great Commission.
As Christians of God’s Kingdom, we
are called to love, worship, and obey our Lord, to love and serve
His body, the Church, and to present the whole gospel for the whole
man throughout the whole world.
We in Youth With A Mission believe
that the Bible is God’s inspired and authoritative word, revealing
that Jesus Christ is God’s Son, that man is created in God’s image,
that He created us to have eternal life through Jesus Christ, That
although all men have sinned and come short of God’s glory, God has
made salvation possible through the death on the cross and
resurrection of Jesus Christ, that repentance, faith, love, and
obedience are the fitting responses to God’s initiative of grace
toward us, that God desires all men to be saved and to come to the
knowledge of the truth, and that the Holy Spirit’s power is
demonstrated in and through us for the accomplishing of Christ’s
last commandment,
“Go ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
“...Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and here, I am
with you always, even to the end of the ages....”
( Mathew 28:19-20)
