The Kona DTS
Go deeper. Go wider. Go anywhere.
About the Course
The Kona DTS is YWAM Kona’s classic Discipleship Training School for those who want to explore what life on mission can look like, without a specific geographic or skillset focus. It offers a wide-ranging experience of global missions and ministry, including opportunities to engage youth and serve in least-reached and challenging parts of the world. As with all of our DTSs, over five months of teaching, community, and outreach, students are challenged to grow in their faith and discover how to live fully for God wherever they go.
