A YWAM Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a dynamic experience where you’ll have the opportunity to strengthen your faith in God and your calling while changing the lives of people around you. 

The DTS includes a combination of strong biblical training to equip you for a faith-filled life and hands-on missions experience. The journey starts at our campus in tropical Townsville, Australia (right next to the Great Barrier Reef!) before we take you to coastal or outback communities in Australia or the Pacific Island nation of Papua New Guinea for your outreach. 

This 22 week course is filled with fun, training, new friendships, serving others, and self-discovery. We offer three intakes every year: January, July and October.
