Campus Phase
Our DTS starts with a three-month Campus Phase, during which students discover more about God while surrounded by God's beauty in beautiful Baja California, Mexico, just south of San Diego. When you choose the Identity & Calling Track, you are purposely diving deeper into becoming who God created you to be! Part of that journey is surrendering to Christ and pursuing the Lord’s will.
This elective is similar to the Classic DTS, which YWAM ran for years from the 1970’s to the 2000’s. The tracks focus, is on positioning ourself to grow deep in your relationship with God. You’ll gain confidence in yourself and learn to trust God to move through every aspect of life, exuding His love. Students will live in a close-knit community with one another and encourage one another to grow in their walk with the Lord. There is also time to meet in small groups and the opportunity to be personally mentored, encouraged, and disciplined by our YWAM staff and guest speakers.
Our overarching Transformation DTS themes include:
God’s Nature & Character: Who God is and What He is Like
God’s Intention for Individuals, People, and Creation: Seeing Life From God’s Perspective
God’s Redemption: Sin & The Cross: Seeing Jesus as Lord
God’s Family: His Children & His Church: Becoming More Like Jesus

THE Outreach PHASE
Once the Campus Phase is complete, take what you learned in the DTS classroom into immediate real-world practice in the Outreach Phase. During this 8-week mission trip, you’ll travel to an overseas destination to apply the concepts you learned during the Campus Phase. You'll use your mission talents to communicate God’s love and serve communities untouched by his story.
Our outreach activities will include home building, feeding the homeless, ministering to orphans, and praying over red-light districts. As you dive deeper into a vibrant relationship with God, you’ll find that transformation takes place daily as you adapt to new surroundings to find and share God in every scenario you experience. Possible outreach locations include Europe, Asia, & Latin America.

How does Identity fit into discipleship?
What does it mean to experience transformation? Romans 8:29 says “To be transformed into the same image is to be conformed to the resurrected and glorified Christ, to be made the same as He is.”
When we spend time with Jesus, we can’t help but be radically different from what we once were. Jesus bids us to come and die and to walk a narrow road of holiness and intimate fellowship with the Father. When we lay down our agenda and submit our will to the Lord, transformation is taking place!
