Ring Of Fire DTS

Discovering the ancient pathways of the Pacific

about the course

The Ring of Fire DTS will spend its lecture phase in Kona, Hawaii and New Zealand. In each location, we’ll take time to learn from the land, its people, and their stories, honoring the rich culture and history that make each place unique. We’ll also join in local outreach, serving side by side with the communities that open their homes and hearts to us.

Training Phase (3 months)

Seek God with all your heart, hear His voice and be transformed by faith and obedience

Find your place in a community that’s passionate about Jesus and about people. DTS is more than a course, it’s a season to grow, to listen, and to discover what it means to live with purpose. For six months, you’ll dive into Scripture, worship freely, and connect with God’s heart for the nations. As you do, you’ll begin to see the unique ways He’s inviting you to make a difference with the gifts He’s given you.

Outreach Phase (3 months)

We believe that isolation will not have the final word in the story of the people of the Pacific.

Travel across the islands of the Pacific and beyond, meeting real needs, sharing hope, and revealing the love and power of the gospel. During the outreach phase, you’ll step into new cultures, partner with local believers, and bring the light of Jesus to some of the most isolated islands in the world. This is where training turns into action, and where God’s heart for the nations becomes your own.

FAQS

All of these schools are bible courses that will give you an understanding of God’s redemptive plan through the study of the bible, but they vary in length, focus, and intensity.

SBS is a 9-month school that focuses on deep study of all 66 books of the bible using the inductive approach, with a focus on interpreting and applying the bible to your life, then teaching others. It is the most intense.
BCC is a 3-month school that focuses on using the inductive approach to study 13-15 books of the bible, with the goal of giving you a really good biblical overview and the tools to continue studying the bible for yourself. You will have opportunities to study biblical themes and characters, and then learn how to teach others. Think condensed version of SBS.
DBS is a 3-month school that focuses on gaining a broad overview of God’s redemptive plan. You will read the entire bible together, identify biblical action principles, and apply it to your life; then you will learn to share with others. It is less intense.

We start the week by reading the book(s) that we will be studying in a group setting. Occasionally we will do that in some of the beautiful places around this island. We have guest speakers come in every week to teach us about the books that we are studying. In the afternoons there is plenty of time to work on weekly assignments. You should be expecting to spend 3-4 hours doing homework each day, to get the most out of the books that we study. On the last day of the week we take some time to share in small groups what God has been speaking to us through our study and the teachings. There are also corporate times of worship and prayer with our greater YWAM community here in Kona.
