A Discipleship Training School is a five months of personally experiencing God. Discovering your identity, gifts and potential and living the adventure of taking His message to the nations. It’s a full-time program consisting of two parts – lecture phase and outreach phase.
Our DTS operates within three tiers.
DTS outreaches mirror our heart for Europe and the Balkans.
YWAM Durres is located in the city of Durres, 10 – 15 minutes walking distance from the beach. Durres is the city where it is believed Paul, Titus and Apollo have been sharing the gospel and planted churches. Romans 15:19 “I preached the gospel from Jerusalem to Illyricum”
The January DTS, “Worship & Missions” has a track on Worship and one on Missions. As we gather together to worship God, He meets us there. Real ministry is the overflow of personal relationship with Jesus. We practice together how to dive deep into this relationship through personal and corporate worship. Playing a musical instrument it is good but isn’t required. Students get trained to play musical instruments and sing, to write songs, lead worship and use worship in evangelism. Through teaching and the sharing of long term missionaries the students are introduced to Great Commission and God’s heart for missions. Students experience first hand being on mission as they serve alongside the staff in various ministries.
The March DTS, “Catch the Fire & Outdoors”, has a track on Walking with the Holy Spirit and one on Outdoor Adventures. As we go closer to God, what breaks His heart breaks our heart and what rejoices His heart rejoices ours. We cultivate a culture where the ministry is the overflow of a heart moved by the love and compassion of Jesus as we learn together to do what we see the Father doing and what we hear the Holy Spirit leading. We are intentional in discovering and developing the gifts of the Holy Spirit, His flow and direction. Practicing together how to practically become one with God in His Glory, John 17:22, and to being transformed into the same image from glory to glory. 2 Corinthians 3:18 . Every teaching week is combined with an outdoor activity where we practice hearing God and moving in the Holy Spirit gifts as we explore caves and express the secrets of our hearts, hike mountains and face the challenges, swim and surrender to God, camp and come in unity, light a fire or have a barbecue and celebrate one another, visit castles and believe in a God who redeems and gives hope.
The September DTS, “Harvest & Outdoors“, has a track on Evangelism and one on Outdoor Adventures. Believing that evangelism should bring on earth the fragrance of heaven and reflect God’s love we aim to bring a deeper understanding of God’s love and the sacrifice of the Cross. Part of this DTS is learning to receive revelations from God and making them practical so to initiate the transformation in people’s lives and nations. Discovering the spiritual authority and the power of the effective prayer. Developing a culture of bringing God’s Kingdom in all areas of our society. The Outdoor Adventure Track consist of knowing God’s character and our identity through the creation while exploring a cave, hiking a mountain, facing the waves of the ocean in swimming, be stretched in a camping, or visiting the ruins of a 2nd century amphitheater.
