Crossroads Discipleship Training School (CDTS)

February 3, 2014 – June 20, 2014

Are you above 30 years of age and feeling like you’re at a crossroads?

Are you looking for:

  • a deeper walk with God?
  • a new direction for your life?
  • a new vision of who you are in Christ?
  • a taste of cross-cultural ministry?

The Crossroads Discipleship Training School (CDTS) is designed for people standing at a crossroads in their lives. It is for people who long to know God’s heart, to hear his voice in increasing measure, and to walk in increasing spiritual authority.

The Crossroads DTS is formatted to meet the needs of adults ages 30 and over – singles, couples, and families with children. We offer childcare and a school aged children’s program designed to cover many of the same topics being taught is the CDTS course.

Course Design

Phase 1: Lecture Phase

CDTS begins with approximately twelve weeks of lectures. Each week a guest speaker presents a topic, such as:

  • the character and ways of God
  • prayer and intercession
  • the Divine Plumbline
  • keys to healthy relationships
  • how to hear God’s voice
  • evangelism and missions
  • the extravagant love of God
  • spiritual warfare

Times of corporate worship, intercession for the nations, small group interaction, weekly opportunities for service and regular visits by missionaries all contribute to the vitality of our community life as we seek God together.

Phase 2: Outreach

After the lecture phase, students participate in a two month field assignment. This is a short-term mission trip often focused on the Ukraine. Our last school also visited Albania. We work together with local churches and Christian groups to serve, to disciple, and to evangelize. Students are encouraged to engage in a number of different Christian activities and to use the gifts God has given them.

The CDTS is much more than just a school or a change of pace. It will provide opportunities for personal wholeness, restored relationships, and vital Christian service.

Community Living

Community living is part of the YWAM tradition. We live together and eat together. Everyone participates in the work duties of the community. We expect our students and staff to participate in the life of the community and to respect one another, giving preferences to one another in love.

Cost

The cost of the Lecture Phase (including tuition, housing and meals for 3 months) is $3000 USD as well as a $500 conference fee which is refundable if the CDTS does not attend a conference. The Outreach Phase cost (including transportation*, tuition, housing and meals) is $2800 USD. The CDTS also charges a $75 non-refundable deposit due along with the application form. Total cost of the CDTS is $6300 USD.

A note about credits: The DTS (lecture and outreach) is the entry-level course for the University of the Nations (UofN) and is a prerequisite for taking most other courses from the UofN, or for joining a YWAM base as staff. Approximately 20 undergraduate credits are granted from the UofN to each student who successfully completes the DTS lecture phase and outreach. For more information about the UofN visit: http://www.UofN.edu
