What Is A YWAM DTS?

The Infinito DTS at YWAM Asuncion is a 5 month training that blends classroom learning, small group activities, personal reflection, practical service, and community living.

The training comes in two parts: lecture phase and outreach phase.

During the lecture phase you will get to Know God. Teachers from around the world will teach on the character and nature of God and you’ll be trained on how to heal the sick, preach the Gospel of the Kingdom and Disciple Nations.

While on the outreach phase you will get the opportunity to go and Make God Known by implementing what you you learned during the lecture phase.
