Discipleship Training School
October 6, 2008 - February 27, 2009

"What does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." -Micah 6:8

     Our Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a five month intensive in spiritual and missional formation.  The first three months concentrates on engaging students in a holitistic discipleship experience that challenges the mind, heart and body in a praxis oriented program.  Offered in the heart of Winnipeg's West End, students will integrate in one of the city's most culturally diverse, yet poor neighbourhoods.  Our emphasis on urban missions means that as part of the community, students will engage the realities of poverty, injustice, racism and much more, all the while have the opportunity to respond in exciting new ways.

     The next two months are spent on an international, cross-cultural missions service outreach, where students will begin to explore the implication of what they have learned beyond simple application.  Again with an urban emphasis, students will participate in "preaching" the Gospel with their whole selves- in word and deed.  Our first school served in restoring the tsunami devastated community of the famous Phi Phi Island in southern Thailand and last year they served in Uganda.  This year we will be sending teams back to work with the people in Uganda.

     The cost of the Lecture Phase for a single person in $3500 Canadian Dollars, plus a $50, non-refundable registration fee. The cost of the Outreach Phase will be an additional $2500 - $4000 Canadian Dollars, depending on location. This will cover airfare, applicable taxes, cancellation insurance, ground transporation, living expenses, etc. Personal expenses (i.e. laundry, visa costs, etc.) are the applicants responsibility. We encourage applicants to work with their church community in fundraising prior and during DTS, believing that God will provide for you to meet these financial requirements.  Prices may change without notice, so please contact us for more information.  Please note that a week will be given during the school for students to return home for Christmas if they so choose.
