What is BLS

The BLS is DTS 2.0! For those of you who have finished DTS and want to continue going deeper in what you've learnt in this process, BLS is perfect for you! During this time you will follow many of the same teachings from DTS, while also receiving new teachings to go deeper and strengthen the foundations laid during DTS. In this school you will also be putting more things into practice and exhibitting more servant leadership, as it is the next step of going from being a follower to being active into the Great Comission.

Lecture Phase

During the first three months you will be having teachings with the DTS and BLS teachings. As a BLS, you will also be challenged to walk in leadership in small and big roles around the base from leading worship & intercession times, small groups and other activities, to other things around the base. In this time, you will be focusing in your process as an individual as well as helping the staff and workers facilitate base related activities.

Outreach Phase

During outreach you will have a time seperate from the DTS and a time alongside the DTS Outreach (this may change at times). The purpose of BLS is to challenge you to step more into roles of leadership. You will be helping to plan and organsie the logistics and practicalities of the outreach.
