“and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”
-2 Timothy 2:2
DTS Equip
DTS Equip is an intensely effective 6-week UofN leadership development course. It provides a resource-rich environment where leaders and team members are equipped in character, skills, and spirit. But it doesn’t stop there. The goal is to enable people to pass this on through their own lives, allowing other students, staff, and programs worldwide to develop according to their individual and corporate callings.
