DTS – Discipleship Training School

What is a DTS?

DTS is the entrance course to the University of the Nations, a full-time school, with the aim of encouraging Christians to live a life committed to GOD and His Word, encouraging students in their personal character development. The Discipleship Training School (YWAM DTS) seeks to bring you into a more intimate relationship with God and identifying their individual gifts according to the personal call of God for each individual, focusing on the seven main areas of influence of our society: Church, Family, Education, Media, Arts, Government, Business. Always fulfilling the motto of our mission: “Knowing God and Making Him Known”.

What is the course duration?

The DTS is a full-time program and lasts five months. The course is divided into two phases:
The first phase is theoretical, has a duration of three months, where the student is integrated into the community, having their meals and living within our base, where he will be hosted, and his room will be shared with more students. In addition, the student will receive follow-up and training in order to prepare him, classes will be taught by several national and international speakers.
The second is the practical phase, which lasts two months, following the theoretical phase, where teams of students will be led by workers from the ministry itself and will be sent to different locations, in Brazil or another country.
