DESTINY
/ˈdɛstɪni/
noun
something that sets the course for your future,
and that you are created to walk in.
We believe God is raising up a new generation which is longing for something more, and which will boldly share the Gospel to both their neighbors as well as to the ends of the earth. Destiny DTS wants to see people find God’s purpose for their lives. We want to see people take part in fulfilling the Great Commission, and be a part of discipling the nations. Through Destiny DTS you will get the opportunity to go deeper with God and the plans He has for your life.
The team working with Destiny DTS is international and consists of young, great leaders together with people with years of experience in leadership and pioneering work. Together we want to be a safe and faith-filled environment where you can take new steps with God.

Lecture
Phase
TO KNOW GOD
Lecture phase provides classroom learning, community-bonding, and heart change. It’s a chance to broaden your perspectives and deepen your view of God. Your focus will be on knowing God, His Word and His Kingdom. You will seek transformation, a renewed mind, and personal growth. You’ll learn not only from teachers, but also from community living and practical training.
Every week has a specific topic, where we invite different speakers we see live out what they teach to come. Lecture phase will be a time filled with teaching, worship, discipleship, intercession, fellowship and a lot of growing. We invite you to join a community that seek to know God and make Him known.
During the lecture phase, we have
different tracks you could choose from ——
Mission
Through this track we want to train and equip young people with a heart for missions and unreached people groups. We want everyone to see that missions is not only for a few chosen ones. Rather, we all are called to be a part of fulfilling the Great Commission that God has given to us. You will get new knowledge about culture and communication, biblical principles for mission, and how to share the gospel. You will learn how you can be a part of missions with your giftings, passions, and interests.
Jesus Lifestyle
Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit”.
- John 20:21-22
In this track you will get to put into practice what you are learning and see that the somewhat scary word “evangelism” turns into an overflow of God’s LOVE to those around you everywhere you are; through healing, words of knowledge and the prophetic.
Adventure
Adventure track will explore the beautiful surroundings of the base. Activities we have done previously are for example water sports, sailing, surfing and fishing, as well as hiking, climbing, go-karting and other exciting adventures. Experience God through life, nature and action in fellowship.
Worship
In this track you will learn more about what it means to lead people into God’s presence through music and worship. We believe worship is essential in seeing breakthrough in situations and in people’s lives. Through teaching and practice we will equip you as a worship leader to bring His presence and freedom anywhere you go. Grow in being led by the Holy Spirit and facilitate for people to have an encounter with the true Living God. We believe God is raising up a generation that worships in spirit and in truth, with a heart that overflows of love for who Jesus is.
Outreach
AND MAKE HIM KNOWN
Outreach will give you the opportunity to put the teaching from lecture phase into practice. You can put into action what you have been learning to share God’s truth all around the world. The goal is to share with others what God has shown you.
Through sharing the good news about Jesus and His love you will discover what gifts and talents you have. You will get to immerse yourself in another culture and people with different perspectives of faith and life.
Outreach gives you the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of other people and share the gospel through both words and actions. It’s the most important work in the world!
