Are you 18-35 years old and wanting a life-changing encounter with God as well as a taste of what missions is like?
Our Discipleship Training Schools (DTSs) will
take you into different cultures; you'll meet new people from all over
the world and develop friendships that last a lifetime. DTS offers an
opportunity that is not to be missed; it is your must-do missions
training. We believe that authentic and lasting impact comes out
of a place of deep and satisfying intimacy with God. This beleif is the
heart behind this DTS.
The DTS is foundational for someone wanting to engage in a
lifestyle of missions. Since YWAM's conception in 1963, literally
hundreds of thousands of lives have been challenged, provoked, impacted
and changed forever throughout the course of a DTS. The aim is to help
people know God in depth and then prepare them as messengers of the
Gospel.
YWAM Campaigns runs this DTS alongside the Tauranga House of Prayer
(THOP). The strategic alliance between YWAM Campaigns & the
Tauranga House of Prayer is an expression of what is emerging between
the global prayer & mission movements. Students will not only be
immersed in the presence & power of God in the House of Prayer on a
daily basis, but also have the opportunity to have a hands-on impact in
the Nations. We believe that authentic and lasting impact comes out of
a place of deep and satisfying intimacy with God. This beleif is the
heart behind this DTS.
Classroom Phase
The
classroom phase of this DTS will be held in the city of Tauranga which
is located 3 hours S.East of Auckland in the stunning Bay of Plenty. If

Outreach Phase
Our
region extends from New Zealand, into the Pacific Islands, and out
towards Asia. Our iDTS schools include 8-weeks of practical
application, where you are bound to leave your footprint in the
Nations.
The DTS training director is Joshua Cole (NZ)
who has been involved in city/nationwide Impact World Tour evangelistic
campaigns in NZ & Fiji & is currently helping launch the IWT
South Korea campaigns. He also serves on the Tauranga House of Prayer
Leadership Team. His wife Misty (USA) has been a prophetic singer at
IHOP & helped coordinate IHOP conferences/events before moving to
NZ and marrying Josh in 2006. "Our heart is to train and release people
to have lasting impact into various nations/spheres with a burning
heart for God established from a place of enjoyable prayer and
devotion".
If you are sick of life as it is, not
satisfied with where you are at, hungry for encounter with God, need a
change, need adventure, need a challenge, or want to find out what God
has for you next, then this is the course for you. You'll
be spoilt you for the ordinary in your own relationship with Jesus
& prepare you for a life time of wholehearted devotion to Him in
whatever sphere you have a passion for.
