YWAM: A Response to God

The DTS is Knowing God and Making Him Known

CONCEPTS TO UNDERSTAND & APPLY​

  • An understanding of Youth With A Mission International's History, Vision, Statement of Purpose, Statement of Faith, the Manila Covenant and approved corporate documents (e.g. the Red Sea Covenant); these approved corporate documents are found in the U of N Reference Guide.

  • An understanding of Youth With A Mission International's values and ministry philosophy as reflected in the Foundational Values and Christian Magna Carta; these approved corporate documents are found in the U of N Reference Guide. 

  • An understanding of Youth with A Mission International's three-fold ministry calling: Evangelism/Frontier Missions, Training, and Mercy Ministries as well as the many ministries within these callings ("Family of Ministries"). See "Go Manual," "Global Perspectives," "U of N Catalogue," and the many other YWAM ministry resource materials available. 

  • An understanding that the DTS is the entry way into Youth With A Mission and all its expressions in the "Family of Ministries" and that it lays the common foundation for the mission. See Documents "Discipleship Training School Prerequisite;" "YWAM/U of N--DTS Description, Purpose, and Curriculum;" "Guidelines for YWAM/U of N Discipleship Training Schools;" "YWAM/U of N Field Assignments;" "YWAM's Anointing and Appointing for Discipleship Training Schools." Each document is found in the "U of N Reference Guide."

  • An understanding that YWAM is primarily an apostolic missions movement which has and must continue to be on the cutting edge of pioneering the new things God is doing. 

  • An understanding of specific opportunites in YWAM for one to serve in after DTS.
