Sound of War
Discipleship Training School
Sound of War DTS
There is a sound of a mighty army preparing to rise in the nations of the world - God is on the move! A new generation of weeping warriors are rising up. Strong and resolute, yet humble and broken by the love of Jesus!
Starting
7 September 2025
“Like dawn spreading across the mountains a large and mighty army comes, such as never was in ancient times nor ever will be in ages to come.” Joel 2:2b
We live in a time like no other, with technology about to explode in a way that none of us really have a grid for. Wars and rumours of wars are increasing with Israel being centre stage. In this time there is a great hunger rising, and God is calling for a generation to stand who will see the greatest moves of the Holy Spirit on the earth in these days.
This DTS is designed for those who want their lives to leave an eternal mark! Those who want to know Jesus intimately and from that place understand who they are as a warrior, in a spiritual war and how to be effective in extending God's kingdom. Maybe you feel ready... maybe you don't!? If not, will you take a step of trust to believe that God can and will make you ready! Can you hear the sound? Will you answer the call?
This school will have the similar structure to all DTS’s but with an emphasis on spiritual warfare, intercession, the prophetic, the gifts of the Spirit, moving in the power of the Holy Spirit such as healing and deliverance.
Our desire is that you will learn to hear His voice and feel His heart for you and others - bringing His healing and freedom. From this place you’ll be empowered to effectively minister His love to others. Worship and freedom of expression will be celebrated in this DTS.
We will also take you on outdoor adventures so you can explore and be amazed at the natural beauty of our region.
Do you desire be a follower of Jesus, to respond to the calling inside you and to be radical in your faith. Come on a journey of faith with us, learn to lay down your life and give it all to Him.
