Discipleship Training School ( DSP 211 )
This school is an intensive Christian discipleship course beginning with an 11 or 12-week lecture/teaching phase followed by an 8-12 week practical field assignment. It is a prerequisite for all other courses in the University of the Nations, and also serves to orient and prepare all new Youth With A Mission (YWAM) staff. The DTS is designed to encourage students in personal character development, cultivating their relationship with God and identifying their unique gifts and callings. Cross-cultural exposure and global awareness are special emphases throughout the course, preparing the students to evangelize and disciple current and future generations, answering the call to “Go into all the world and teach (make disciples of) all nations.” (Matthew 28:19). The curriculum is in the following six major categories: God’s nature and character; God’s intention for individuals, peoples and nations; seeing all of life from God’s perspective; redemption, sin, and the Cross; God’s family - the Church; God’s world - His call and commission; the ministries of YWAM. Focused DTS’s: In some locations the DTS is offered with a particular focus, such as the Crossroads DTS (YWAM CDTS), Operation Year DTS, University DTS, Sports DTS, Arts DTS, etc. Credit will be given for this course with satisfactory completion of DSP 212.

Family Bible School for the Nations Seminar ( CHR 125 )
This seminar is run in conjunction with CHR 225, Bible School for the Nations, which studies God's story and His perspective of the world as revealed in the Word of God. The seminar pulls the principles from the Bible to discover the Biblical worldview and to help discern inaccurate views, which hold cultures in bondage. We also look at the impact of the Church and missions work through the Reformation. We have a major focus on identifying and applying biblical principles in every sphere of society.
