How To Choose YWAM DTS Locations

By Lana Bray


There are many YWAM DTS locations all over the world. A lot of people will chose an area and go to study, based on their preference, but this is something that one must pray about. This does not come down to whether the climate is good or if there is a beach there or not. It depends on where God has called you.

The school goes back to Switzerland, where many people would have gone on vacation, and students definitely do have a good time with each other. This happens wherever you are. It does not have anything to do with the location. This depends on how much you put into these next couple of months. There are not people who go home because they don't enjoy it.

There are also schools with the main focus of AIDS in mind. There is one of these schools in South Africa, where students can learn what they usually do on a general DTS, but they also gain a lot of insight into what this disease entails. During the outreach they will go into township and minister to those who are affected by the virus.

You can now find a school in just about every country and in many cities around the world. You don't necessarily have to stay in the city in which you live. If you are American, you can travel to South America or you go to India and get to experience what life is like in that part of the world. It is very different from what you are expecting.

Often students will go to university and college and mix with the wrong sort of people. It is important that one keeps on going to church and reads the bible just as they did when they were on DTS. If they forget about this completely, they could easily backslide and go back into their old ways again. This is not something to look forward to.

These schools are well-known and have just spread by word of mouth. The organization has been growing since the 60's and still there is more development taking place all over the world. Loren Cunningham is the founder and his wife, Darlene plays a huge role. However, there are other leaders that also have helped build this up into what it is today.

Some people have changed their lives around after doing one of these schools. There have been folk who have done a DTS, and have stayed at youth with a mission for full-time work. This can involve all sorts of things. It can be working with kids, or those that are in need, that are struck down by poverty.

There are not many people that come back from one of the YWAM DTS locations with bad reports. There are so many experiences that you take out of a school like this. There are even more life lessons that you can pick up after you have had your lectures and it is time for you to go on outreach. Once you pick your base, you will find that there is so much to look forward to.
