DTS Lecture Phase
The DTS lecture phase provides classroom learning, community bonding, and heart change. It’s a chance to have your perspectives altered and your view of God deepened.
Class
The lecture phase engages the mind, and will take place onsite at our YWAM location in Harare for around eleven to twelve weeks. You will receive powerful teaching from motivating speakers and missionaries, meant to provoke, challenge, and encourage. Themes such as: hearing the voice of God, identity, sin and forgiveness, and much more are discussed. Classroom time is a chance to build friendships and dig deeper into the questions we all have.
Practical Service
A key part of character development is serving those around us. A part of every DTS is working to keep the YWAM community functioning, while teaching teamwork and dedication. Whether it is gardening, cleaning, reception, or something else, this side of the DTS helps you become a part of our community.
Small Groups and One on Ones
One of the most important parts of the DTS are the small groups and the one on one discipleship. These times will allow you to process what you’re learning about God in a safe environment. One on ones are usually held with a DTS staff member, someone who is with you throughout the entire lecture phase. It is their goal to help you grow through mentorship and counsel.
Small groups are held with other DTS students. Here, you can see how your other classmates are being challenged as well. With discussions and personal input into what you’re learning, these are not only times to get to know your classmates better, but also a time to experience the change in others.
Local Ministry
Personal transformation leads to the transformation of community. You will have a chance to make a difference in the surrounding society through ministry and mini-outreaches. Whether it’s teaching the gospel, working on a community project, or praying for the town or city, your DTS staff will guide you every step of the way, equipping you to impact a neighbourhood.
