At Pacific Reach, We Love To Disciple Young People!

Come join us on our beautiful property for your YWAM DTS (Discipleship Training School). The DTS Lecture Phase is 3 months to go deeper and know God. Our live/learn community includes Biblical teaching, worship, one-on-one mentoring, and opportunities to serve. The DTS Outreach Phase is a 2 month mission trip where you get to practically show the love of Christ to the nations! DTS is an amazing opportunity to have transformation in your life, and be able to make a difference in the world.

Lectures

During the 3-month, New Zealand-based DTS Lectures, you’ll be equipped to follow God more wholeheartedly with a new DTS Lecture topic each week.

Example Topics May Include:

  • Understanding God’s Call
  • Hearing God’s Voice
  • Missions and Evangelism
  • Developing Healthy Relationships
  • The Father Heart of God
  • Holy Spirit
  • Exploring a Biblical Worldview

In addition to the lectures, you will have daily intimacy times with God, powerful times of worship, prayer and intercession, evangelism in the community, and one-on-one discipleship. We are a live/learn community meaning we value time together, good meals together, games, and bonfires. Plus, during DTS Lectures, you could visit local places like Mount Maunganui Beach, Hobbiton, Rotorua Geothermal Region, and more!

DTS Lecture Topics

Curious to know what sort of things you’ll be learning on your DTS? Each week on the DTS, we’ll provide you with a new topic filled with transformational, biblical content that will shake up your worldview and change your life. You’ll learn from people who’ve lived out what they teach which allows growth in understanding the bible and learning to apply the Holy Spirit’s guidance in your life. Check out what some of our former students learned as they encountered God through our weekly DTS Lecture Topics.

Outreach

Pack your bags, it’s time for Outreach! During the 8-Week Outreach Phase, you will take the valuable things you’ve learned from Lectures and Stream times and share them with those you meet.

Outreach is a time to share and live out the gospel. There will be a range of ministry opportunities to serve and partner with locals, and other missionaries. You could travel to a nation in the South Pacific, announcing the Gospel of the Kingdom wherever you go. The world is waiting for you!

Outreach In The Islands

Check out this video showcasing some highlights from one of our recent outreach teams. This team went to the Fiji Islands for their DTS Outreach.

Streams

We offer 8 different YWAM DTS Streams. What is a stream, you ask? A stream is similar to a small group where you and others with similar interests gather and dive into a particular theme (etc. medical compassion, worship, etc.) throughout the school. Together you will meet once a week and have different teachings, activities, and time to go deep. All streams join together for lectures and other school activities.

As an example: the Pilgrimage DTS has lectures in the classroom, but also takes time going into the outdoors onto iconic New Zealand trails! This may then flow into outreach and become a tool to reach people. The Medical Compassion DTS learns about both medical and compassion in lecture phase, then may incorporate them into their outreach phase.

Note: Our Classic DTS blends elements from many of our Streams and will equip you with some of the most essential tools from a variety of ministry perspectives. This may include basic skills in primary health care, training in evangelism, tools for prayer ministry, and much more, all in one DTS!

Also, please check the Start Dates of the Stream you’re interested in, as not all Streams are offered each DTS intake, and the dates are subject to change.
