DTS is known for life changing teaching. It’s all about you knowing God. Knowing who He is. Knowing what His word says. Experiencing His presence. Hearing Him speak. Developing a relationship. Having courage to follow your faith. It’s about following Jesus in your daily life. Topics and teachers change a bit from year to year, but many of our teachers come back each year.

John from Norway: Mission All the way from Genesis to Revelation, God reveals his heart for the nations. His longing is that His name will be glorified in all people groups, nations, tribes, and tongues.

John has much experience from working on the field.

Different and very good teaching!

Marianne Braseth: Calling and commitment God has a calling for each one of us. The last days of the lecture phase Marianne will challenge us to follow God’s calling no matter where and what it leads us to, and to commit to the King of Kings.
