The DTS.

The first question people ask when embarking on a journey is: Where do I start? After 6 months of participating in missionary work in Mexico, i decided that I wanted to join the mission. This very question is what first came to mind, and the answer for me is the Discipleship Training School (DTS).

The DTS is a course that focuses on personal spiritual development, community, resources and training. Going out into the world to share your faith is not always as easy as you may think. Many countries prohibit preaching in public, some countries directly oppose the gospel and some of their larger religious groups can be violent and oppressive. Even some that claim to be christian would be against the free expression of the bible and it’s principles. This makes preparation so important.

Over the years many have entered the mission field and experienced persecution and obstacles. This has produced useful information and encouraged the christian community to be smarter about their approach. We need to understand how to approach this task using that collective knowledge with the assistance of new technologies and new creative ideas. The DTS is an experience that allows people to be introduced to this process, and I am excited to be a part of it.
