Spread hope for the future

1/3 < 20 in 2020

The Youth Ministry DTS is for those who have a heart to reach and disciple young people, to see them live in the calling and destiny that God has for their lives. The course will take you deeper in your own relationship with God and equip you to reach other young people and impact this generation!

In 2020, roughly one third of the world’s more than 7.7 billion people are under the age of 20. These young people face a world of challenges unknown to previous generation – broken families, bullying, gender confusion, rising youth suicide and mental health issues, drug abuse, depression and anxiety to name a few.

Yet this can also be a time of hope. God’s desire for all young people is that they will discover the hope and future He has for them. This is the time in their life where they are most open to the gospel, making it the best time in their life for them to be introduced to a relationship with God. Transformed by the gospel, young people have the capacity to make an amazing difference in the world, with energy and zeal to go boldly wherever God calls them.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11

Two themes , one school

This Youth Ministry DTS will be combined with our Supernatural DTS for both the Lecture and Outreach Phases of the school. Each of the themes will be integrated into the DTS through workshops and activities.

lecture phase

The first part of the adventure is all about getting to know God. Throughout the lecture phase, we will learn from multiple teachers and guest speakers about who God is and His heart for missions.

During one week of the lecture phase, you’ll also be a part of a unique learning experience called the Niko program. Niko is a Greek word which means “to conquer or to overcome.” It is a five-day wilderness leadership training program where you take risks to discover more about who God has made you to be. Your learning environment will be the great outdoors, the classroom of life. You will learn skills vital to working as a team, being a leader, and pushing yourself beyond limits you thought you could never overcome. As an individual or a group you learn to surrender your individual rights and learn new levels of interdependence with others. The most important aspect is to grow in your dependence on God.

outreach phase

This part of the adventure is all about making God known. Outreach will involve sharing God’s transforming love with people who desperately need it. There are communities all over the globe lacking the basic necessities of life: food, water, clothing, shelter and health care. People are crying out for someone to come alongside them as the hands and feet of Christ to show them the love of the Father.

Our DTS outreach teams go and find the lost wherever they are, and then demonstrate the love of God in whatever way they can. Our heart is to go where there is physical and spiritual need and practically demonstrate God’s love by helping to meet those needs. It’s all about bringing the love of Christ to people through our lives and through the gifts that God has given us.

Whichever outreach location you choose, you will grow in confidence as you see God using you to show His love to others and gain a greater perspective of the world and what God is doing.
