The 12 week DTS lecture phase is followed by a 10 - 12 week outreach phase, giving students the opportunity to apply what they've learned and travel to one or more of the Terra Nova Project's strategic initiative locations.

The outreach provides practical application of lessons learned and adds cross-cultural exposure and global awareness, all while extending the Gospel's reach to some of the neediest places on earth.

FIVE GOALS OF DTS

To gather and challenge people to worship, listen to and obey God, releasing them (in the context of the DTS) to serve through evangelism, intercession, acts of compassion and other expressions of God's heart for the world, possibly even pioneering new ministries.
To inspire and cultivate growth in one's relationship with God resulting in Christ like character, which is based on a solid Biblical foundation, the work of the Holy Spirit and the personal application of Biblical truth, especially concerning God's Character, the Cross and empowering Grace.
To sharpen one's ability to relate to, learn from and work with people, including those of different cultures, personalities and perspectives.
To further equip each one to serve God's purposes either in or outside of YWAM Family of Ministries, strengthening a commitment to reach the lost, especially the unreached, to care for the poor, and to influence all areas of society.
