Youth With A Mission St Croix

United States Virgin Islands

The DTS is a foundational training program for everyone interested in either a short or long term missions experience!  This five month school consists of a three month lecture phase (12 weeks of solid Biblical teaching) followed by a two month practical outreach. We've taken outreaches throughout the Caribbean, Central and South America and Asia.

 

Our goal is to equip students “To Know God and to Make Him Known.” After people know, they need to grow!  Those who strive to get the most out of their DTS experience will also be equipped to help others grow in their relationship with God.

 

The DTS is an open door to a world of opportunities for “ordinary” people to be used by God to accomplish extraordinary things!  Students are taught a Biblical world-view with the hope that they will grasp the vision of reaching every nation, tribe, language and people with the Good News about Jesus.

Students come from all over the world to be a part of this transformational experience!  Will you be one of them?
