This school dives deep into more intimacy with God and fearless obedience to participate with God in His Mission. During the school you will engage with outreach ministries in the rural communities of Guanacaste. You will be challenged to find your part and place in God's big plan and equipped to do so. In a classic YWAM way, we will pray as a group and ask God where He wants to send us on outreach... it could be anywhere in the world! During the outreach, we will get a hands-on intercultural missions experience. We are determined to learn to hear God's voice and act in obedience to it. The DTS is bilingual (English and Spanish) as all the class material is translated. DTS is an accredited University of the Nations course.
