Justice Focused Discipleship Training School (DTS) at YWAM Wiler - Switzerland
This Special Focus YWAM Discipleship Training School (DTS) from YWAM Wiler is fucusing on Issues of Justice. The Bible, all the way through the Old Testament - and the New - makes it clear that it is VERY important to God how the vulnerable ones in the world are handled. We want to look especially at what He says about that in the Bible and also look at ways and means and places in our world in which we can act.
So, complementing the normal DTS themes,
this course will have teaching intended to help us have a better
understanding of the what is going on in the world and how we can get
involved in very simple, practical ways – and be obedient to God’s
commands to care for justice, to give a voice to those too weak to
speak for themselves (whether they are single women in a society in
which they are unprotected, or children, or refugees, or …).
The University
of the Nations (UofN), part of our mission, isolated 3 "Passion
Points" a few years ago. We will look at those and what our
response can be (they are "Issues of Justice", "Children at
Risk", and "Pure Water"). We will look at the United Nations
(UN) Millennium
Development Goals and ask ourselves what our response as
Christians could be to them.
Jesus said in Matthew 28:19, Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." We believe
that commission is for all Christians and includes every area of life.
In this school we are focusing on areas of vulnerability and need in
the world. While we recognize that not everyone is called to go to a
nation/culture vastly different to his/her own, we still want to see
each student who completes this DTS be a bit better equipped to be able
to live out this calling which Jesus has given us - wherever in the
world he/she is called and to whatever area of society.
This school is bilingual in English and German.
