Pacific & Asia, Discipleship Training Schools

These are the current DTS available with us.

A DTS in the Pacific & South East Asia

A YWAM DTS, or Discipleship Training School, is a great way to grow in your faith and learn how to serve others. Here’s what it’s all about: Learning Phase: For about 3 months, you’ll learn from experienced teachers about topics like hearing God’s voice, spiritual warfare, God’s character, and who you are in Christ. You’ll also spend time in worship, prayer, and living in community. Outreach Phase: After the learning phase, you’ll go on a mission trip for 2-3 months. You’ll travel to different places, often in other countries, to share God’s love through evangelism, community service, and other ministry work.

School Leader This God Story DTS is especially powerful for the Pacific and for nations where written language is limited or not widely used. It honors orality, storytelling, and relational learning, making the Bible accessible to everyone. We are now running our third God Story DTS, and we believe this is only the beginning.

Frequently Asked Questions

2024 The start of a new era for Pacific DTS’es

In 2024, we sent a team to Indonesia, and from that journey, a God Story DTS was pioneered. When the team returned, they helped birth a DTS fully focused on internalizing the Bible. This DTS centers around 33 core Bible stories, learned not just with the mind, but with the heart and memory. Instead of relying on written study alone, students learn Scripture through story, repetition, community sharing, and oral history, honoring the way God’s Word has been passed down for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Beginnings

V2 Life began in Vanuatu in 2009 with a vision: to train young people to become all that God wants them to be, so that they could carry the gospel of Jesus to the unreached communities of the world. We started with the goal of teaching young aspiring missionaries how to both understand the bible in our training centre, and how to apply it to community development using training on our farm which equips them with sustainable development capability.

Soon after we began our first missionary training in 2012, our neighbours asked for a school. Their children had no access to education in our relatively remote area, and as missionaries they saw us as the answer to that need. In prayer, our vision grew and we found ourselves building a kindergarten. With support from churches, governments and private donors, a kindergarten became a small primary school building in 2016, and the vision grew.

What we do NOW

V2 Life runs 3 distinct offerings: Primary Education, Teouma Valley Sewing Club, and YWAM (faith-based) training.
