Encounter DTS

A fully accredited University of the Nations missions training course

Our Vision for YWAM DTS

   The Encounter DTS is calling a generation to encounter God and be launched into the nations! The prophet Isaiah encountered the Lord and from that place, cried out, “Here I am… Send me!”  His experience with God stirred a desire to be sent out as a messenger. This dynamic school is 20 weeks and has two phases:                                           Training Phase and Outreach Phase.  


Training phase: 12 weeks in length

The YWAM DTS training phase will be a profound time of encountering God as you are equipped to be a missionary to the nations. Speakers from all over the world will come and bring focused training as we seek the Lord together in community.  

During these 12 weeks you will be trained as a messenger to hear God’s voice, proclaim the gospel, activate your gifts and skills into unique kingdom influence, start discipleship movements, and engage in strategic missions.


Outreach phase: 8-9 Weeks in length  

Immediately following the DTS training phase, you will use the tools you were equipped with to impact a specific nation for God’s kingdom. DTS outreaches have seen thousands come to Christ in countries all over the globe. This Encounter DTS has outreach focused on indigenous people groups, we have a Native American focus within the USA and then we go to one of many international locations within our target nation groups.    


Come encounter God and make Him famous!


The Encounter DTS has an outdoor track and music and worship track to engage in.
