WHAT IS A DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING SCHOOL?

The Youth With A Mission Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a standardized course throughout New Zealand and the world. The School is designed to train Christians to be, and make, disciples of Jesus Christ. To achieve this goal, four main aims are emphasized on the DTS:

1. Knowing God as a Christian - To provide the student with an overview of the character and nature of God and the characteristics and responsibilities of the Christian worker.

2. Mandate of the Christian - To equip the student with a clear vision of the essence of the great Commission and his/her role and responsibility to fulfill that mandate.

3. Methods of the Christian - To provide the student with methods for contributing to the fulfillment of the Great Commission and the opportunity to gain experience using some of those methods to share the Gospel with others.

4. Character of the Christian - To provide the student with opportunities to understand his/her own character and its development and how the student relates with others.

Basic Structure
The school is a live-in course that is arranged in two parts consisting of approximately twelve weeks of Lectures and twelve weeks of Field Assignment. The last part of the school is undertaken here in New Zealand and overseas.

The Course Director and Leadership
The School Director is responsible for the teaching, and to see that all the essential areas are covered during the School. The Director and his/her team will meet regularly to seek “the mind of the Lord” on the day-to-day running requirements of the School as well as the needs of individual students. In general, the lectures provide depth, whereas the small groups and specific counseling further the application of truth to individuals‘ lives.
