Basic Leadership Seminar ( CHR 145 )

This is an in-service programme designed to assist in developing the leadership skills of staff in U of N schools. While staffing a DTS or secondary school, students meet several times each week for discussion and instruction on topics such as pastoral skills, spiritual gifts, small group dynamics, basic management principles, and leadership of public meetings and outreaches. In addition each student meets regularly with a mentor for feedback and evaluation. Assignments include reading and reporting on a number of books covering basic leadership issues.

Discipleship Seminar ( DSP 111 )

This introductory seminar is designed for the Body of Christ in general. It will lead students into a deeper, more intimate walk with God, with teaching of foundational topics of Christian discipleship such as knowing God, hearing God's voice, the importance of the Word, meditation, intercession, fear of the Lord, forgiveness, relinquishing rights, sanctification, evangelism and missions, spiritual warfare, faith and finances, and relationships. Our staff are running this course for people as an introduction to YWAM.

Discipleship Training School ( DSP 211 )

This school is an intensive 12 week Christian discipleship course followed by an 8-week practical field assignment. We are running DTS schools with an emphasis on Discipleship and what God is doing in Asia. We encourage people to grow closer to God, learn to hear His voice, and learn about cross-cultures and the Lordship of Christ. We follow the values of YWAM and usually have smallish schools so we have quite a tight knit group. We will cover the following: Learn to hear God's voice, God’s nature and character; forgiveness, repentance, inner healing, deliverance, Lordship, missions, destiny for design and relationships.
