We are going to run a Discipleship Training School in Lebanon from September 19, 2009 - February 27, 2010 for anyone interested in missions in the Middle East. This is 3 months of lectures and 2 months Outreach!

Our focus here in Lebanon is to provide an environment for both Arabic speakers and English speakers to be discipled, enabled and equipped to serve their countries to the best of their abilities. One of our goals is to serve countries through kids, youth & community development projects and this is reflected in the nature of field placements and projects connected with this school.

The DTS is more than a programme, it is a life changing experience. Developing your personal relationship with God is a foundational part of the school. In order to make God known to the world around us, we first need to know Him ourselves. Every day you will receive quality input from gifted speakers, participate in dynamic worship, experience deeper fellowship with other believers as you live in Christian community.

All these are tools that God will use to develop you, and lead you in his ways.

The DTS is:

• A 5-month course consisting of 12 weeks of teaching and 10 weeks of practical “on the field” training.

• An excellent course for those who wish to be equipped to serve God more effectively at home or abroad.

• Taught in both Arabic and English

• It is also the first level of training opening the door for you to work with YWAM anywhere in the world.

Our goal is that you:

• Deepen your understanding of the character of God, learn to hear his voice, and develop your own relationship with God

• Develop your character, discover your gifts and ministries and practice principles for healthy relationships

• Discover, meditate on and apply Biblical truth

• Develop a heart for the lost and a vision for influencing society through community development.

• Develop an understanding for Middle Eastern culture

• Will be trained in prayer, intercession and spiritual warfare

• Identify unrighteous habit patterns and replace them with new ones based on God’s word
