From the very beginning of creation, God’s heart was for all the nations. Jesus made a way for all nations to be adopted into the Kingdom of God. As disciples of Jesus, we have the privilege of getting to partner with God in the transformation of nations through introducing them to Jesus and his world-changing teachings. The heart of the Explores DTS is to go to the hardest to reach places and bring the gospel to light the way for lasting and loving impact. We believe that God created all mankind with specific giftings, and they are scene in every culture across the globe. We want to see those giftings shine and be redeemed through the gospel. There is no place too hard, too dark, or too far gone for God to redeem.

The Explorers DTS is a way of teaching you how to strategically reach hard to reach places with the gospel, these so-called “missionary graveyards.” We will partner with bases and with missionaries who have dedicated their lives to these nations, learning from them and their experience, as well as engaging with the culture the way Jesus would engage. We have a unique take on Lecture Phase, as we spend 4 weeks touring through parts of Eastern Europe and being the hands and feet of Jesus. Outreach will then be taking what we have learned and going to regions and nations where the gospel is needed most. Our expectation is not to see a whole nation changed in three months; our heart is to bring them what Jesus has given us: Hope. We do not focus on the people, the hard situations, or the trial of a new setting; we focus on the people, the way Jesus did. If you have a heart for adventure, for new places to find the light of Jesus, and especially if you have a wild spirit, then the Explorers DTS is meant for you. Come and explore with us!
