About
Matthew 28:19 – “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
This school will take place in the heart of the Persian Gulf. The Gulf region, home to ancient Middle Eastern cultures, is part of the 10/40 Window, where more than 3.3 billion people live without access to the Gospel. This urgency in the 10/40 Window is highlighted by statistics showing that billions of people live in nations, where there is religious persecution and limited access to the Gospel, making the mission to reach them a priority. Our DTS will focus on one of the largest harvest fields of our generation: the Islamic world. Both the lecture and outreach phase will create the space and tools for you to go deeper into understanding God’s heart for these regions and people groups, and to foster a long-term commitment to the Gospel.
The harvest fields of the Gulf are ready – will you go?
Note: The Gulf DTS is a school run by our friends in the Middle East, not YWAM Herrnhut.
LECTURE PHASE
Lecture phase is a unique time of learning in an interactive group setting. It is formatted through teaching by experienced missionaries and speakers, small group discussions, practical implementation, community lifestyle and serving, times of reflection, personal study, and worship and prayer. The schedule is full-time, but is also created to facilitate space for personal time and building friendships. The teaching is structured to be modular, with a different focus each week. During the lecture phase you will learn about topics such as the Nature and Character of God, Hearing God’s Voice, the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of God, Worship and Intercession, Identity, Spiritual Warfare, and much more. You will be challenged, stretched, and discipled! Later on in the lecture phase, you will also spend time with your outreach team, praying and preparing for outreach.
OUTREACH PHASE
This is what DTS is all about! To effectively train and equip our trainees, we must obediently respond to the call to the harvest field. We partner with local contacts and long-term workers to serve what God is already doing in the nations. The heart of a DTS outreach is to introduce people to Jesus, and that can happen in many different ways, depending on the location and the team. We also believe it is vital to practically apply everything God teaches us in order to continue growing and maturing, and the outreach phase is an incredible opportunity for this. For the topics and principles learned in the lecture phase to really take root and become established in our lives, they must be lived out. The outreach will be a cross-cultural experience of continued learning and growing, with opportunities to share the love of Jesus with the people of the nations we are guests in. Exact outreach locations will be announced during lecture phase.
