Jesus told his followers that the fields were white and ready for harvest. He said to pray for workers to go into the world to share the good news of the Kingdom. You'll see how a community can transform with the diligence of just one person. Explore how you can spark that kind of transformation by sewing the seeds of hope among a people. DTS is that opportunity. In this unique and dynamic DTS, the destination is transformation that comes through KNOWING Jesus Christ.

Lecture phase takes place at our Teouma Valley base, 20 minutes outside the city of Port Vila. For half of each day you will meet with those in your team and learn practical skills to reach people through acts of kindness. The other half of the day is set aside for classroom based lectures. Topics for your lectures will include topics like: Hearing God’s Voice, Evangelism, Holy Spirit, and Father Heart of God.

In our DTS you will spend mornings going deep with God, focused on faith, salvation, and freedom in Christ.

Afternoons will include immersion into real-life missions activities. You will learn  practical skills like swift translation of gospel stories into oral languages,

During the lecture phase there will be a choice of two "focus" tracks which will be a combination of teaching and practical experience.
Our 2 tracks are:
1- Education: we run a primary school on campus, so we'll look at how to show children that they're really important to God, and how providing good quality education is a testimony of that.
2- Oral Bible Translation: there are thousands of spoken languages in the world with no written form.  In Vanuatu alone there are over 100 indigenous languages, most don't have a current translation of the bible. We'll look at the value of translating the gospel into someone's "heart language", and practise doing simple oral translations using basic recording tools.
There may be an option for a third track looking at sewing and handicraft as a ministry to women, but that depends on our staff capacity and student demand.

This DTS is your path for beginning a life long career in missions full of adventure.

"But how can people call for help if they don’t know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven’t heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear of nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it? That’s why Scripture exclaims, how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news! But not everybody is ready for this, ready to see and hear and act. Isaiah asked what we all ask at one time or another: ”Does anyone care, God? ls anyone listening and believing a word of it?” The point is: Before you trust, you have to listen. But unless Christ’s Word is preached, there’s nothing to listen to."

Rom 10:14-17, Msg/NIV
