Description
The Discipleship Training School (DTS) is an intensive 5-to-6-month experience that brings together teaching, community and mission. It is not just a school: it is a time to know God deeply, be transformed in your identity, discover your calling and truly live your faith.

It takes place in Leticia, a border city with Brazil and Peru, with cultural diversity (Indigenous peoples, nations, languages), missionary experience, the arts, evangelism and work with communities, and a family life, not only that of students. In YWAM, one possible path is to begin with the DTS and then serve two years or more in a service community.

- Who it’s for
- The DTS may be for you if you sense there is something more but you don’t know what; if you love God and know you need to go deeper; if you are tired of a comfortable life without purpose; or if you want to step out of the ordinary and live something real.
- Requirements
- Be 18 years old. The DTS is the gateway: afterward you can take other schools, such as the OBT (the EMI does not require it). Spanish, Portuguese, English and Tikuna are spoken at the base.
