The next DTS will be March 1 - November 30

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.

Understanding the character and ways of God, how to hear the voice of God, and developing a personal devotional life.

We have a category system in place that enables all students to attend our schools regardless of their social or economic backgrounds. Please note that these fees are subject to change.

Whereas most DTS' are 5 or 6 month long programs, ours is 9 months. Most schools also charge you for the lecture and outreach phases separately whereas the fee quoted above covers both lecture and outreach phases.

The outreach can be done in any location around the world, depending on the Spirit's leading for that school.

Outreaches are done in various locations and change from school to school depending on the leading of the Spirit. YWAM Rustenburg is generally more focused on ministering on the African continent.
