DTS Classic
Apply NowPART ONE: LECTURES
Want to do a DTS and soak in all that is has to offer without additional stream/elective activities? Our DTS Classic keeps it simple while maintaining the strength of the training school.
Over the 12 Lecture weeks you will receive teaching from experienced lecturers on topics such as: Hearing God’s Voice, Character and Nature of God, Father Heart of God, Holy Spirit, Spiritual Authority, Gospel and Culture, Relationships, Lordship of Christ, Missions and Evangelism, Apologetics, Bible Overview, and Biblical Worldview.
When other students take part in their elective, you’ll be able to tap away on assignments, make those calls back home, work on that support letter, or explore the city and its surroundings.
PART TWO: OUTREACH
We desire to always be ready and willing to serve and share the good news as we lead people into the presence of God.
For part two of your DTS you will partner with local and long-term missionaries in the field, meet the physical and spiritual needs of many, and take your place in completing The Great Commission. You will be assigned to a team with staff facilitation and still be keeping with the UofN Curriculum.
Be prepared to apply all you’ve learned during the lecture phase when you head out for cross-cultural missions and encounter God in a fresh way in the nations.
Outreach locations we have recently partnered with are: Indonesia, Vanuatu, Fiji, New Zealand, and Uganda.
