3 The Discipleship Training School The progress of the Gospel in the last ten years is obvious. There is in the church of Jesus Christ a renewal of the burden for missions. Many Christian organizations feel the need to assemble their forces so that we can obey the Great Commission of Christ in Mark 16:15 and in Matthew 28: The Discipleship Training School (DTS) is dedicated to this dynamic. It is a school focused on character formation & personal growth within a Biblical context. The quality of the speakers and their ministries are recognized on a national and international level. Therefore, the DTS addresses all people who desire to live a new stage in their commitment to serving God. We approach such subjects as The character of God, the work of the Cross, the Holy Spirit The life and the character of the disciple The foundations and the principles of the Kingdom of God Prayer, intercession, worship and spiritual warfare Hearing the voice of God Practical principles for study and meditation on the Word of God Authority, submission and obedience The Father heart of God and our identity in Him Evangelism and the personal testimony Christian worldview Personal time management Relationships and forgiveness Missions One outreach for the school usually takes place in West Africa (French speaking countries), in East Asia or in the rest of the French Speaking World, including France of course. But still, the locations can change according to the schools Usually there are several possibilities for the outreach in each school This school is the foundational & required step for those who want to continue their education with the University of the Nations and also for working with YWAM long-term.

4 The University of the Nations Youth With A Mission has developed its work with two objectives: 1. Go and preach the Good News to all creation To be the light of the world - To spread the Gospel to each people group, nation, ethnic and linguistic group - To work alongside and develop relations with the local church. 2. Make disciples of all nations Be the salt of the earth - Influence society and the world, take an active part in society and model a lifestyle with a different approach and alternatives to the problems that face society today. For this, YWAM has developed the University of the Nations with a range and quality of training that one can follow in almost all the world (in more than 100 countries on 5 continents). This university concept which has the call to serve the nations of the world is unique in that the idea of education is not a data, but it is much more personal. Maturity is not a diploma, but the growth in attitude and understanding of the world from a Christ-centred view; the knowledge is not the end but the means. The text of 2 Peter 1:5-8 is the basis for this university training. The University of the Nations looks to promote mature and full growth for the whole person. The goal is to help the student discern the call of God and to give the means to respond. The studies, instead of being theoretical, address practical issues in daily life in order to be a real "launching pad" to reach the world and all of its structures (Family, Education, Sciences, Media, Arts...) Each student having followed a DTS can then pursue a complete curriculum in the different areas of study offered at the University of the Nations such as: Christian ministries, Counselling and Health Care, Education, Communications, Arts, Science and Technology, Humanities and International Studies.
