The next DTS will be: January 19 - June 5, 2009 July 6 - November 20, 2009
The DTS aims to equip and prepare messengers of the gospel and to shepherd them into deeper intimacy with the Father. The five month program is designed to help students mature in areas of personal character while identifying and developing the gifts and calls upon their lives.
Students are also given an opportunity to grow in their personal relationships with Jesus in a culture vastly different from their own and for anyone remotely interested in missions, this is a great place to start.
The DTS is not only for students who intend to pursue full-time ministry but for anyone who desires to be empowered for the life and ministry that God has called them to in the business, media and political arenas.
Know that as you aggressively pursue God, a lot of soul searching takes place as He digs into the depths of your heart to bring you to a place of freedom and wholeness. Are you willing to step onto the Potter’s Wheel so that He can mould and shape you into the man or woman that God has destined for you to be?
Students will receive a total of 20 credits from the University of the Nations upon successful completion of the D.T.S which consists of a 12 week lecture phase followed by 8 weeks of outreach.
The curriculum includes the following:
a. The Christian's Relationship to God:
Understanding the character and ways of God, how to hear the voice of God, and developing a personal devotional life.
b. The Christian's Relationship to oneself and others:

c. The Christian's Relationship to the Word:
