Abide (DTS)

DTS = Discipleship Training School

YWAM = Youth with a Mission

What is Abide?

This DTS is all about your identity in Christ!

We believe that everything we do needs to flow from an intimate relationship with the Father.

in this DTS we are focused on knowing Him in an intimate way; a way that will fully reveal who He is and who we are in Him. We’re no longer ”trying” to do ministry, but simply walking in the reality of who He says we are.

No longer only working for Him, but walking with Him instead… there’s real fruit in Abiding!

”Abide in me, without me you can do nothing” – John 15

LECTURE PHASE

The first 3 months of DTS focus on inward transformation through growing in intimacy with Christ. We’ll be covering topics that not only empower you but also challenge and build your faith. Our emphasis is on personal application, not just head knowledge.

Each week will feature a new speaker experienced in a given focus, but learning goes far beyond the classroom. You will engage in worship and intercession, be mentored by a staff member, and participate in small groups and workshops on a weekly basis.

We believe that Jesus changes everything and His love is worth sharing. You will get to be a part of this in a practical way in our local community through ministries that reach out to disadvantaged kids and youth, women trapped in the sex industry, and those struggling with homelessness.

YWAM Adelaide has always had a strong sense of family. We look forward to welcoming you into our community as you learn more about who God is and discover your identity in Him.

You’ll make lifelong friends and explore the beauty of Australia, but more importantly; you’ll know God deeper than ever before and be equipped to respond to the needs of those around you.

OUTREACH

Outreach is a time of activating the knowledge you gained and the gifts you realized during lecture phase in the context of another people group. You’ll travel to Melbourne, Tasmania and an overseas location (or other parts of Australia). These 10-12 weeks focus on answering the call of the Great Commission: to make Him known.

You’ll have the opportunity to share God’s love with people in a place of great need. This practically takes on many different shapes, such as visiting orphanages and teaching English, to sharing the gospel in a remote village. Outreach provides you with the opportunity to grow in confidence, gain greater perspectives and partner with God in loving the lost and lonely.

We believe that there is something so unique about what God has placed in your life, and we want to see you walking in the truth of who he created you to be! We believe following his call to go into the nations and make disciples accomplishes just that. Outreach locations are determined through times of prayer and intercession focusing in on God’s heart for the nations.
