Extreme DTS

Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.
Isaiah 30.21

Are you ready to go anywhere, do anything, and give everything to seek and save the lost? The adventure capital of New Zealand is the perfect place to begin your extreme journey. Come put your adventurous spirit to the test through opportunities such as bungee jumping off of bridges, skydiving out of airplanes, riding river rapids, trekking into the wilderness, and more. The Extreme DTS may take you to some of the world's most intense, remote locations, where the Gospel needs to be preached and hearts are crying out for Jesus’ love.

The vision behind the Extreme DTS is to equip those with a passion for adventure and adrenaline to use it for God’s glory. The stunning mountains and lakes of the South Island will become your training ground and the nations your mission field. It’s not for everyone – we are looking for people who are willing to do everything, sleep anywhere, and eat anything for the sake of the gospel!

All DTSs in a quarter will participate in the same DTS Lecture Phase schedule as unique "tracks", hearing the same lectures and living and growing alongside the other students during that quarter. Throughout those 12 weeks, each track will have opportunities and activities to pursue its unique focus and discover how God can use our passions for the kingdom!
