YWAM Toowoomba as a mission feels called to justice and missions, and we have built great relationship with some of the refugees in our community, with the goal of building relationship and bringing the hope and love of Jesus to those who have been through injustice and tragedy. On the Working With Refugees DTS you learn how to build relationship with refugees and bring the simple Gospel to them, as well as take action and join us on some house visits with some of the refugee friends we have. 

What is DTS?

DTS is about drawing close to Jesus for 6 months, with expectation of encountering Jesus, being equipped to know God more, and being sent out to make God known.

As Youth With A Mission, the core of our movement is to KNOW GOD and MAKE GOD KNOWN. Discipleship Training School is a 5 month course where students will gain understanding of God and His ways. Through knowing God firstly, our lives will be set up to make God known most effectively. DTS is an opportunity to say “yes” to these truths.

How does DTS work?
