Go Deeper in God's Word at YWAM Asunción's DBS

Our 12-week Discipleship Bible School takes you through the whole Bible, puts the Word into action through real ministry, and trains you to disciple and multiply — not just to learn.

📚

The Whole Story

12 Weeks In The Word: Read the entire Bible from cover to cover and watch the whole story come together around Jesus. With seasoned teachers, you’ll understand each book, where it fits in history, and what God was saying all along.

⚡

Living the Supernatural

Faith in Action: The DBS isn’t only the classroom. You’ll put the Word into practice — praying for the sick, sharing the Gospel, and watching God move in real life as you go out during the school.

🌱

Multiply Disciples

Learn it…Then Give It Away: Learn to hear and obey God in Scripture — then teach others to do the same. You’ll leave able to lead a Bible study, disciple new believers, and start groups that start more groups.

You Can Love God and Still Not Know His Word

Most of us have only read pieces of the Bible — a verse here, a story there — but never the whole thing. So when we open it, we get lost. We pick up facts about God without ever knowing His story, and we struggle to feed ourselves, answer hard questions, or lead anyone else.

Information alone doesn’t change a life. Obedience does. Multiplication does.

The DBS closes that gap. By the end, the Bible won’t be a book you’re nervous to open — it’ll be where you meet God every day, hear His voice, and find your part in what He’s doing. And you won’t keep it to yourself. You’ll know how to hand it to others and watch it multiply.

“I did many things to fill my emptiness, but nothing worked until God gave me a personal revelation at YWAM Asunción. An encounter there reshaped my life and planted me firmly in His purpose.”

Berenice

DTS Graduate

“I always tried to change and be someone better, but I never could—until God truly showed me I could leave that place. With the Holy Spirit’s help I was transformed, decided to give Him everything, and now I am a new creation.”

Marcelo

DTS Graduate

“I had no reason to exist and didn’t know who I was. YWAM Asunción showed me why I needed to know God—and that knowing Him leads to transformation all around us.”

Your 12-Week DBS Journey: From the Word to the World

A proven daily rhythm that takes you through the whole Bible and out into real ministry.

1

Dig Into the Word — Every Morning

Seasoned teachers walk you through the Bible book by book — the history, the context, the big themes — so the whole story finally makes sense and you see how it all leads to Jesus.

2

Read, Discuss & Obey — Every Afternoon

You’ll read Scripture out loud with your small group, ask the hard questions, and work out how to actually live what you’re reading. This is where the Word becomes your own — and where you learn to lead others through it.

3

Go & Multiply — Throughout

The DBS doesn’t wait for an outreach phase. During the school you’ll go out, share the Gospel, pray for the sick, and practice making disciples — so what you learn in the morning is already changing lives by the evening. You graduate ready to disciple others and start groups that multiply.
