The lecture phase
The three-month lecture phase is mostly about getting better acquainted with God and listening to Him. The first part of the DTS contains lecture, personal and joint times with God, practical work, coaching, fun, and communal living here in Wiler, Switzerland.
Experienced national and international speakers will teach on subjects like:
- Hearing God’s Voice
- Devotion & Relationship with God
- Worship, Intercession & Spiritual Warfare
- The Cross & Living as a New Creature
- The Character of God
- The Bible / Bible Study

The outreach
After the lecture phase is a three month outreach where you will gain cross-cultural experiences. During this time, you will share God's love in word and deeds, expand your boundaries, grow in team-work, broaden your mind, serve God with your giftings, apply what you have learned… for instance, in a slum in India, among Roma children in Albania, in churches in Malawi, among refugees in Italy, in the bush of Madagascar, or…
Discover, how God wants to transform and use you!

Justice DTS
In the Justice DTS we want to look especially at the Character of God regarding justice and what the Bible says about our responsibility as Christians in this area. How can we practically do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God?
