The DTS is a six month program blending classroom learning, small group activities, personal reflection, practical service, and community living.
The first 3-months will be the training (lecture phase), in which you will be trained by teachers and leaders, living in mission-focused communities & being discipled on living out your faith in Jesus. Followed by approximately 3 months of being sent out (Outreach Phase) into the nations – living out practically what you learned during the lecture phase. Throughout the whole school you will learn more about God, His Word and His people.
We will have teachers from all over the world, from various church and cultural backgrounds. The topics will cover a wide range from how to Hear the Voice of God to having a Biblical Worldview, all with the intention of knowing God deeper. Outside of the classroom students can enjoy the local life by visiting all the coffee shops, surfing or taking a good book and reading it while overlooking the South Atlantic Ocean.
Our goal is to see you grow in intimacy with God. We will equip you to reach the lost, care for the poor and needy, and convey Jesus’ message to a world that needs to know him. We will help disciple you in finding the vision that God has for your life, and how you can be a part of bringing revival that leads to a reformation in missions.
Here you will discover what it means to be a disciple of Jesus by discovering Him through His Word, His People and His Ways. You’ll not only learn from teachers but also from community living and practical training. Growth takes place not only in the classroom but in all aspects of life. This is why the DTS Lecture Phase is structured in so that the whole experience is a learning environment and opportunity for growth. Small groups, discussions, community outreach, worship times, and more, are all ways that you will have opportunity to encounter God and be shaped by Him.
Over 3 billion people have not heard about Jesus and we are going to change that! We believe that discipleship is not complete until you, a disciple, begin to make disciples. Therefore, we will go out into the nations and declare His Good News to His people. You will have a chance to discover your abilities and giftings as you care for people and put into practice what you have learned during the Lecture Phase. You’ll be spending 9 – 10 weeks serving in various locations, locally and internationally, with a team from your DTS. Outreach locations vary depending on the school and/or focus. You will find out your outreach location during the school.
We will spend around 1-2 weeks after outreach back in Muizenberg in order to debrief.
