Youth Leadership Training School  

YLT 2005

Welcome to DTS Cambodia

Around 2,5 years ago was the launching of the first Discipleship Training School, known as Youth Leadership Training School (YLTS) in Cambodia. With the Youth of Cambodia being on the hearts of many world wide, along with the desire to see them grow in their knowledge and relationship with God, the DTS was birthed.

January 2003 marked the first YLT in the capital city of Phnom Penh, with 15 Khmer students and 7 dedicated staff from various nations. 16 students, 2 being foreigners with a heart to serve in Cambodia, attended the second school in 2004. From the February school 2005 there was nine graduates. Next school is planned to start in October 2005.

The YLT is divided into a lecture and an outreach phase:

Lecture phase: During the first three month the students receive teaching focused on our relationship with God, who He is and who we are in Him.

Outreach phase: The last 3 months is outreach phase, giving the students the opportunity to put into practice the things received already. They travel to different provincial areas within Cambodia, ministering to the poor, bringing skills in areas of discipleship, performing arts, health care, children’s programs and much more. Not only does this minister to many and open doors to share more of God’s love, but in turn released many students in their gifts, challenging them to step out, trusting God for all. This is always a thrilling and life changing time.

When asked what was the most meaningful thing for them in the YLT some of the graduates, now staff, responded.

“ YLT for me was a time of building my foundation in God and learning of His character and ways. I feel more equipped now to go out and share with those around me of the love and life found in Jesus Christ.”

“ YLT changed me in many ways. I now feel more self controlled and able to walk in God’s character with His strength and not my own. Even my friends told me there is a change in me since YLT and they say it is good.”

“ YLT helped me learn how to work as a team, learning to see the good and giftings in many different personalities and ways. The teachings were so life changing for me, I had never heard teaching like this before.”

We feel so honored and humbled to be a part of God’s plan in raising up the youth of Cambodia
“To know God and to make Him known.”

Our Vision :

To train and equip the youth of Cambodia, while developing a compassionate relationship with God, being transformed in character and released in their giftings to serve.
Prayer Points:

-That God will provide with both staff and students coming to the next school. There is also a need of funds to be able to run the next YLT. Please pray for God to speak to the hearts of people to be part of the work here through giving joyfully.
