DBS
Organised by: YWAM Hurlach
In the DBS, throughout 12 weeks, you will get an overview of God’s story with mankind. You will read through all 66 books of the Bible chronologically and learn more about the historical setting and genre of literature of each of the books. You will also learn to share about your faith and put into practice what you have studied. In this way, there is a continuation of the transformation that was started in your Discipleship Training School. You will be involved in lecture times, one-on-ones, small groups, as well as in evangelism and various ministry times in the community.
Lecture topics in the DBS generally follow through the books of the Bible that you are chronologically studying. As you dig into each book to discover its original intent, you will find that they have different key aspects. For example, you will look at Worldview and Origins as you study through Genesis, Exodus, and Job. Or you might learn about Leadership and Worship as you study the life of David in 1 & 2 Samuel, Chronicles, and the Psalms. During the study of Acts and Paul’s missionary journeys, you might study Cross-cultural Missions and the Cost of the Call. Each book is filled with insights to be discovered!
