The DTS for Families is a Discipleship Training School that targets the family. It includes all the normal requirements of a YWAM DTS or CDTS.
However, the DTS for Families seeks to incorporate the entire family into the discipling process. There is a weekly "Family Time", during which, the entire family gathers for worship, intercession, and application of the weekly topic of the school.
The DTS for Families also includes teaching about marriage and parenting as part of the relationship teaching that is offered in a regular DTS.
Husbands and wives are encouraged to be in the same small group so as to process issues together as a couple and not just as individual students.
The DTS for Families seeks to include the children in the outreach preparation and incorporates them in ministry opportunities that are age appropriate.
As a second phase of the DTS, specially organized teams are sent out typically for twelve weeks (minimum eight) of evangelism in cross-cultural situations. The emphasis is on the application of principles taught in the DTS lecture phase coupled with teaching on evangelism concepts and practices equipping students to share their faith using a variety of means.
