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 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. Credit will be given for this course with satisfactory completion of DSP 212.

This course is a 6-week Bible seminar aimed to have our students saturated in the Word, giving them tools for sustained growth in the Lord through the Bible for the rest of their lives. Our objective is that they grow in knowledge of the Word, receive revelation from the Holy Spirit as they interact with the Word, then give opportunity for them to walk out these new truths in obedience, which will lead to lasting transformation in their life.
This is the first in a series of three courses that make up the School of Biblical Studies (SBS). This course sequence surveys the whole Bible using the inductive approach (observation, interpretation and application). This course may serve as a core course in all bachelor's degree programmes. This course meets the U of N Core Curriculum requirement for Bible.
This course is a continuation of the School of Biblical Studies, using the inductive approach to study Hebrews, James, I and II Peter, Jude, I, II and III John, the Gospel of John, Revelation, and Genesis through I Kings.
As the final course in the SBS series, this continuation of training in using the inductive approach to studying the Bible, covers the study of II Kings through Malachi.
"The School of Islamic Studies was designed to raise up leaders who are equipped to effectively reach the Muslim world. This school will teach you how to share the Gospel across cultures; to begin to understand Muslim history, values, and world view. Our desire is to launch you into full time missions knowing how to begin the process of pioneering DTS’s, Churches, and other new ministries within Muslim culture. A large focus of our school is not only learning about Islam, but gaining wisdom about how to create a sustainable ministry that will last for years to come. Our hope is that through both this school and our optional outreaches your heart will burn as Christ’s does, and that you will be launched into successful long-term missions as we help you develop a plan to impact the nation on your heart."
This school gives students both practical and experiential leadership training to equip them for long-term ministry. They will learn the foundations of leadership, character development, and pioneering in any ministry context, but with a specific focus on pioneering in a frontier missions/unreached/Muslim community or nation.
The School of Worship imparts foundational values and principles to those intending to serve in worship among the nations. Topics include character and lifestyle as a worshiper, understanding the work of the Holy Spirit in worship, applying worship principles within a cross-cultural context, the biblical and historical aspects of worship, leadership and teamwork, the dynamics of worship and intercession, prophetic ministry, spiritual warfare, creativity and musicianship, and worship in missions and evangelism.
This school combines training in worship, intercession, spiritual warfare and evangelism in the context of a YWAM training center where staff and students worship, pray and evangelize together. The training emphasizes the correlation between fruitful evangelism and deepening a relationship with God in worship, discovering His plan in intercession, and reinforcing His will in spiritual warfare.
