Pacific Waves DTS 

Live in Paradise, Deepen Your Faith and Explore the World

The Pacific Waves DTS is a multi generational, multi-track DTS located in untouched paradise. Our base is located in Vanuatu, a beautiful South Pacific Island nation, located a short flight from Australia and Fiji. Vanuatu is known as an untouched paradise, one of the friendliest places on earth, where you will be greeted with friendly smiles, and heartfelt island hospitality every day. You’ll get to visit beautiful palm lined beaches, rainforest waterfalls, enjoy sun, surf, aqua blue lagoons and explore pristine coral reefs.

The Pacific Waves DTS is 6-month journey designed to help you fall deeper in love with God and equip you with the skills and confidence to make Him known to the nations. DTS begins with a 12-week lecture/teaching phase where you will study God’s word, learn to hear His voice and explore the depths of His nature and character. It’s an opportunity to ignite a passion within to pray, worship, and serve God with an undivided heart. After lecture phase it’s onto an 8-10 week outreach phase, either in country or another nation. This is where you will have opportunity to share Gods love and the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, answering the call to “Go into all the world and teach (make disciples of) all nations.” (Matthew 28:19).
