Crossroads Discipleship Training School (CDTS) at YWAM Lebanon, PA

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.

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
keys to healthy relationships
how to hear God’s voice
evangelism and missions
spiritual warfare

Times of corporate worship, intercession for the nations, small group interaction, and mission update speakers 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, usually to the Ukraine. We work together with local churches and Christian groups to serve, to disciple, and to evangelize.

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.

Credits

The CDTS (lecture and field assignment) is the first stage in the University of the Nations curriculum, and is a prerequisite for taking most other courses from U. of N., or for joining a YWAM base as staff. Approximately 20 undergraduate credits are granted from the U. of N. to each student who successfully completes the CDTS lecture phase and field assignment.

Cost

Tuition is $3000 plus $35 non-refundable registration fee for the three month lecture phase. This includes tuition, housing, and meals during this time. The outreach phase cost varies, depending on airfare, but is usually around $2000.
