The Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a required training for future Youth With A Mission (YWAM) staffs and also an entry-level prerequisite of all courses and all degree programs of the University of the Nations.

The DTS is an intensive Christian training course beginning with a 12- week lecture/teaching (KNOW GOD) phase followed by an 8 to 12-week practical field assignment (MAKE HIM KNOWN).

The DTS is designed to encourage students in personal character development, to deepen a living relationship with God and to identify their unique individual gifts and callings in God.^[1]

School of Performing Arts (April 4)

The Arts have the capacity to communicate where words cannot. The Arts are part of our spiritual gifts as Filipinos. We are called to use these artistic gifts and abilities to spread the gospel with excellence and to make a Godly impact on every individual through the beauty of Gods creativity.

We are also called to Redeem the Arts by taking back what the enemy has stolen and to raise up Artistic Ambassadors. Our goal is to develop a Christ like Character in each individual who will avail themselves to use their God given gifts and abilities to convey the message of Jesus Christ through the power of the Arts.

In this 5-month training, you will have a personal encounter with God as the Author of Creativity.
