The DTS is the gateway to the world of Youth With A Mission...

Each year we run the Frontiers DTS in February. For many, a DTS is where their journey begins in a career of world missions. For others, it's simply time out with God... or a time that further equips them to serve in their local churches.

No matter where you are at, the Frontiers DTS will be a season of significant discovery in your life - discovering a more intimate walk and a deeper commitment to Christ; discovering God's passion for the lost and hurting; and discovering how to hear God's voice and know His ways. The Discovery DTS is designed to be an investment in your future and a time to discover your giftings and calling in God.

The Discipleship Training School is designed to help individuals personally know God in depth, as well as to prepare messengers of the Gospel. The emphasis is not on acquiring information but on developing a daily walk with God. This grounded walk will help to develop Christian character. It's all about you and your relationship to God, your relationship to others and even to yourself. Success in the DTS is based upon openness and obedience to the Holy Spirit.

The 24 week school covers three phases:

Phase 1: Lectures, mentoring groups and ministry skill workshops.
Brisbane will be your home with the amenities of a large urban centre just a short train-ride away, but some lectures may be held either in outback towns or in tourist beach locations. (12 weeks.)

Phase 2: Ministry and cross-cultural missions exposure.
For our DTS outreaches, we target the outback towns of Southern QLD, our local tourist beaches, Ethiopia, East Malaysia, India, and other countries within Asia and the South Pacific. You will be offered an experience incorporating one or more of these locations for ten weeks. On outreach, you will learn even more about "living out" the principles learned in lectures while reaching the lost in very practical ways. Outreach is a great way to test your call to world missions. (10 weeks.)

Phase 3: Regroup and prepare for re-entry into your home culture.
During our two weeks of "report-back," we will share the thrills and spills of outreach, celebrate victories together, and reflect on the lessons and challenges of your ministry and growth while on the Discovery DTS. (2 weeks.)

Frontiers DTS runs each February and October. The cost is $3000 (which includes accommodation, meals and tuition). This does not include the travel and living costs for Phase 2 (outreach).

Objectives of the DTS:

1. To equip the Christian messenger to grow in relationship with God, providing a solid Biblical foundation, and encouraging the development of Christ-like character through the personal application of truth.

2. To challenge the Christian messenger to become involved in missions and world evangelism, with YWAM or other ministries, awakening a burden for reaching the unreached, a vision for influencing all areas of society, and a commitment to strengthening the global body of Christ.

3. To impart to the Christian messenger an understanding of Youth With A Mission International, its foundational values, calling, and opportunities for service.

4. To prepare the Christian messenger for service in the local church and the local community.
