What is a dts?
The Momentum DTS focuses on the same aspects as all Discipleship Training Schools: To know God and to make Him known.
The DTS aims to give you practical teaching on how to live out your faith. Soundly based in the Bible, it will equip you
for a life serving God.
lecture phase
The core purpose of this time is to ‘know God’.
In total, we will have 12 weeks of teaching, but growing deeper in your relationship with Him doesn’t stop when you leave the classroom. It is similar to your normal bible school but with more focus on how you practically live your Christian life.
There’s no better method of discipleship than living in community. We’ll eat, worship, pray, and enjoy life together, standing with one another in challenges and celebrating each other’s successes.
We will cover a range of life-changing topics like Hearing God’s voice, Evangelism, Missions, the Holy Spirit, Nature and Character of God, Biblical Worldview, Relationships, and much more!
The location of the lecture phase is in Holsbybrunn, Sweden.
outreach
The Bible says ‘faith without works is dead’.
We are so free in Jesus, there is nothing we can do to earn His love, and we want everyone to know that this freedom is open to everyone on this planet!
So we will go to the ends of the earth, knowing that Jesus is with us. He will work through us so that other people can come into a closer relationship with Him.
And the great news is that as we step out in faith for Jesus, He gets to work in our hearts even more.
For close to three months you will get to practice this. Leaving Europe for a real adventure.
DANIEL, 19, CANADA 🇨🇦
Choosing to do a DTS was one of the best decisions of my life. I was able to build a solid foundation of faith in Jesus and learned how to serve the kingdom in any way I could, no matter what I did.
The lectures were refreshing, and being able to put it into practice during outreach phase was awesome. The friendships and amazing memories that were made during my DTS will last me a lifetime.
The format
The slogan of YWAM is Know God and Make Him Known. Sounds familiar? Jesus commanded us to do just that in Matt 28:18. This is the foundation for all that we do. Our hearts burn for those that haven't had a chance to hear about Jesus yet.
You can read more about our passion for the Unreached here.
So naturally our DTS will be coloured by this. We try to incorporate this throughout the three month lecture phase and we will send the teams on three month mission trips to places where there are people groups considered Unreached. Supporting long term mission on the field and giving you a chance to try out what life there can look like.
It sure is an adventure!
SWEDEN
Our three months in Sweden will be a greenhouse for growth, with a new speaker on a new topic every week.
There’s no doubt as a DTS student you’ll need to take some time to process with God everything He’s revealing to you, and the peace and beauty of the Swedish countryside in the autumn is a great place to do that!
Besides, we’ll love showing you around our home, introducing you to the people and places that make Holsbybrunn, Småland a hotbed for missions.
THE UNREACHED
For our mission trip we’ll go where there are people who haven’t yet heard about Jesus.
Throughout the whole school, we will be letting ourselves get equipped so we can be Jesus’ mouth, hands and feet.
We’re want to see people get healed, we’re going to pray for freedom and we’re going to show what it means that Jesus loves practically, be that clean water, sanitation, education, or whatever it takes.
