Our Discipleship Training Schools (DTS) aim to prepare messengers of the gospel, helping students to know God in depth.
Our goal is to encourage students to develop in personal character, to cultivate a living relationship with God, and to identify their unique individual gifts and callings in God.
Cross-cultural exposure and global awareness are special emphases throughout these courses, preparing the students to reach current and future generations and answer the call to "go into all the world and make disciples of all nations" -Matthew 28:19.
DTS is part of a larger university system called the University of the Nations, where each student focuses on one subject at a time and is given opportunities to apply learned principles in outreach settings as part of their course.
DTS is a microcosm of this model in that we cover each topic for an entire week, rather than having several short teachings on various subjects. For example, you will spend an entire week covering prayer, another week covering evangelism, and another covering relationships.
All students are required to be part of a live-learn environment. In this setting we attend lectures, eat, have small groups, prepare for outreach and do work duties together. Students live in community-style housing with people of various nations, cultures and denominations. We strive to live as a family, which promotes constant application of the lessons being taught in the classroom. Meals are served in our beautiful dining room and are included in the cost of the school.
