DBS | YWAM Penang

Discipleship Bible school

what is a DBS?

One of the first things we learn in the DTS is the YWAM motto upon which the mission is founded: “To know God and to make Him known.” Yet one cannot possibly claim to know God if he/she does not even know His Word. So in the DBS we make the Bible the student’s companion for life! And it will be with Spirit and Truth! The student will discover the unified story of the Bible, be discipled by the Bible and will fall in love with the Author of the Bible.

In this 12-week introduction to the Bible, the student will be given an overview of “God’s story” and will discover the purposes of God in it. The student will read the entire Bible, observe the chronology of biblical events, better understand each book in its historical context, understand the harmony between the books, be able to recognize the different genres of literature, and major themes found in these 66 books. The student will learn the foundational truths of Christianity by going directly to the source.

why join?

The Bible is ranked as the #1 Best-selling book of non-fiction, but how many people have read it or understood it? Many people have never heard of the Bible or read any of it. Some people have heard of the Bible, but they heard that it is not trustworthy because it has errors. Other people have heard about the Bible and believe the Bible is true, but they may not know the whole story or how the stories they know are all linked together to form one story about Jesus. YWAM believes everyone should have access to the Word of God in a language they understand. The Discipleship Bible School provides students the opportunity to read, understand, as well as teach the Bible, because the Bible should be heard and understood by everyone.
