Do you have a heart that yearns to show God's compassion to the poor and needy? Do you want to bring His hope into a hurting world? Do you have a courageous heart and a burning desire to see God's love spread abroad? If your answers are "Yes!", then come join us for the Compassion DTS! Our desire is for you to live a life of faith, to find your destiny in Christ so you can make a difference in this world.
The Compassion DTS promises to be a place of going deeper with God and an opportunity for you to make a difference for eternity. It aims to address issues of poverty and injustice in a world gone wrong. Micah 6:8 says: "He has shown you, o man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." We believe God has called us to champion the cause of those in need and to be a voice of the voiceless. The DTS is a journey to discover God's heart for you and the world around you. It will give you deeper understanding of the ways of God and amazing opportunities to show His love and compassion.
During the lecture phase, you will be immersed in a schedule that will offer you time alone with God, small group interaction, classroom teachings, study time, weekly outreaches, fellowship and ministry. You will also have free time for fellowship, personal study time and the opportunity to let it all soak in.
Come with us as we take Gods expression of love to the nations and make Him known. Once the twelve weeks of lecture phase is complete, you will finish your DTS requirements by taking what you have already learned and applying it in practice on the mission field*. Eight weeks of outreach will include a seven week display of service in an international setting. During this time you will reach out to those living in absolute poverty, the homeless and those struggling with life addictions. You will also be ministering to women and children at risk and to those who have been abused and enslaved. The final week of outreach is debriefing, teachings and a lot of fellowship, after which you will graduate from DTS.
