WHAT IS A DTS?
The DTS is an opportunity to grow in intimacy with God, know Him more deeply, discover your purposes in the Kingdom, put your faith into practice, and share the Gospel through your gifts and abilities.
This school has two stages: the lecture phase (3 months) and the practical phase (the outreach, 2 months).
LECTURE PHASE
In the lecture phase your focus will be on getting to know God, His Word, and His world. You will seek transformation, a renewed mind, and personal growth. You will learn not only from experienced and mature teachers, but also from community life and practical training.
A day in DTS is very intense!
In the morning we have breakfast, meditation (time alone with God), intercession or praise, and classes with a coffee break in between.
Lunch is at 2pm, according to Spanish culture. Then, service time (cleaning and maintenance of common areas).
We have different activities during the afternoon such as classes, workshops, rehearsals, practical activities in the city, and others.
After dinner we have free time, which we usually use to do DTS work, read books, or just relax.
OUTREACH
After the lecture phase, we go out into the world to be part of what God is doing.
It’s time to put into practice what you learned at the base, and have incredible experiences with Him and others, while we seek the manifestation of the Kingdom of God.
You may be assigned to different activities and ministries, such as sharing with a person at a festival, cleaning parks (or bathrooms!), preaching in a church.
Whatever you do, it’s your opportunity to bless the nations, working side by side with your team and the Holy Spirit to participate in what God is doing.
GET TO KNOW
THE DTS LEADER
Hi! My name is Jessica and I’m originally from Canada. I love discipleship, good conversations, cozy cafes and the colour green. I did my own DTS 23 years ago and I’ve been with YWAM in the USA, Germany, England and now Spain. I love the DTS because God uses it to bring transformation in lives of those who do the school!
For this specific DTS, my hope is that it will be an impulse to push you further in your relationship with the Lord. Whether you have known the Lord for 25+ years or 1 year, we are consistently invited to mature more in knowing God deeper and more personally. Through this we have the opportunity to grow in our own identity and understanding of God’s call and purpose in our lives to share His love with the nations. Come and do all of this in the context of a community of people who also want to know God and make Him known!

Fill out the Application Form
Ask your pastor/leader to fill out the Reference Form
After receiving the two forms, our team will pray regarding your acceptance into the school. Once God has confirmed this, we will let you know so that you can start planning your trip.
Questions? We have the answers.
I am not a European citizen. Do I need a visa?
For those who do not have citizenship or residency in any European country, it will be necessary to enter Spain as a tourist. When the time comes, we will give you all the necessary information to do your DTS with us.
How can I pay for the school?
The theoretical phase fee must be paid upon arrival at the base. The campaign fee must be paid by the end of the first month of the theoretical phase. If this is a difficulty for you, you should speak to the school leader.
Where will I live during school?
We are preparing with great love and attention a good apartment or house where the students can live (separated into boys’ and girls’ rooms). It will be a welcoming and safe environment to live in community, support each other and apply the principles and values learned in classes.
Where will the outreach be?
The 2-month mission trip, the outreach, has not yet been decided. We will seek God’s guidance and decide the best way, taking into consideration visa and permit issues.
I have other doubts. Who can I talk to?
Write to us at edecaceres@jcum.com. We will reply to you as soon as possible.
