Messengers

Discipleship Training School

In every generation, there are ones who shape history. Who use their unique voice to be agents of change in their time. Messengers.

This is what Messenger Discipleship Training School was designed for. Twelve dynamic weeks of training. Eight weeks impacting a foreign nation.

One life-changing experience.

DTS Curriculum

Each DTS consists of 12 powerful weeks of training and 8 weeks in the mission field where you get to touch hundreds of lives with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Speakers from around the world will teach you how to use the power of the Holy Spirit and the Bible to bring heaven down to earth. You’ll have one-on-one discipleship times with your DTS staff and learn how to work with your team in various class activities.
