Passion & Pursuit DTS
Embark on a this life-changing journey with the Passion & Pursuit Discipleship Training School (DTS), where we are all about seeing a generation of young people passionately pursuing the presence of Jesus. Cultivating a passion for Jesus within us paves the way to the life He calls us into, overflowing from a place of intimacy and abiding connection with Him.
During our time together in this DTS, we’re setting aside moments entirely focused on His presence, specially through Prayer and Worship. It’s a unique opportunity to silence the noise of life and focus wholeheartedly on knowing God and making Him known.
So, if you’re someone who wants to grow in your relationship with God, discover your identity and purpose, and make some forever friends, then this DTS is perfect for you! Join us, and let’s dive into an awesome adventure together with Jesus!
TO KNOW GOD (Lecture Phase)
Spend the first 12 weeks living with friends in a discipleship community located in the Adelaide Hills, surrounded by nature but only a short distance from the city and the beach. Each week we have guest speakers who come from different ministries to share with you – covering topics like: Hearing God’s voice, The Father Heart of God, Relationships, Spiritual Warfare, World Missions and more.
TO MAKE GOD KOWN (Outreach Phase)
After the lecture phase, you will put what you have learned into practice on an 8-10 week cross-cultural outreach. This is where the real adventure begins! Travel to strategic far-out locations – bringing the gospel and love of Jesus to this generation.
