DTS

Talofa!!! Samoa, South Pacific On Site DTS is a Kona DTS, which is being led in Western Samoa by Kona DTS leaders.

Are you hungry for more of God? Do you desire to know Him more so that you can make Him better known to your friends, family and ultimately the nations?
 Are you open to live in island style community with your classmates, your staff, and the Lord and depend on Him to transform you into the very likeness of Jesus? Do you want to experience God's heart for the Pacific, co-laboring with Him in seeing radical New Testament revival come to this strategic region of the world? If your answer is yes to the above questions then by all means we invite you to join us!

 The Samoa On Site South Pacific DTS will be held from June 15 to November 15 in Apia, Western Samoa! (Please make note of the slight date difference from the Kona summer session.)

Samoa is a beautiful South Pacific paradise, known as the PEARL, or the HEART of Polynesia. We believe strongly that Samoa holds significant keys to revival in the Pacific and on into Asia! Samoa is a peaceful, developing nation in which a person generally makes only about $5,200 per year. Much of the economy is still in the form of trading and bartering for goods and services.
 

Some describe Samoa as being much the way Hawaii was nearly 100 years ago. During lecture phase we will have extensive training on water technology, health care, and sustainable agriculture. With these skills we can bless the nations, not only with the heart of Jesus, but also with his hands and feet as we assist in community development.

Our living conditions will be rustic yet comfortable. We will be growing much of our food at the YWAM property in the jungle. Your classroom and your sleeping arrangements will be in traditional Samoan Palm roofed Fales! (Samoan houses. Yes we do have running water and flush toilets but your beds will likely be in the open air under the roof of the fales. (Don't worry, Samoa is NOT cold!!!! We will be inviting some of the world's best instructors to lead us in this journey of discovering the heart of God and your destiny in life!

Some of the topics covered will be:

 The Character and Nature of the Lord
 Recognizing God's Voice
 Spiritual Warfare
 The Person and the Power of the Holy Spirit
 Inductive Bible Study
 Methods of Evangelism and Missions

THE CHALLENGE
Caution!! This DTS will not be for the faint of heart. Living conditions will be a new experience for most westerners. Yet if we are willing to allow God to strip us of many of the comforts and ultimate idols in our lives and if you desire to meet Him in fresh and new ways. Come join us for this grand adventure in Polynesia this summer!
