Couples DTS teachings include topics like:
- The Character & Nature of God

- Identity
- Marriage
- Biblical Worldview
- Missions & Evangelism
Gabriel & Léonie
Outreach
After an inspiring and challenging lecture phase, you will be involved in the opportunity to put into practice what you have learned. These 2 months will bring you out of your comfort zone and provide chances to serve nationally or abroad, preach the gospel, help those in need and share God's love. Evangelism will take on many forms.
Finalization
After the outreach, we will have two weeks to process & share what we have experienced.
As a couple, you will talk about visions, dreams and plans regarding your next steps.
