Which YWAM location should I go to? 
So… you’re thinking about doing a DTS (Discipleship Training School) and wondering, “Which YWAM base should I go to?” “Which YWAM location should i go to?”
With hundreds of YWAM locations worldwide, it’s a legit question. Some are by the ocean, some in big cities, some near the jungle, and all of them have something unique to offer.
But here’s the truth: there’s no “perfect” base—only the one that’s right for you and your calling.
We want to help you figure that out. And along the way, we’d love to introduce you to YWAM Experience Asia—an affordable base in South East Asia.
Which YWAM Base Is Best? 
The best YWAM base for you depends on a few things:
-
Do you want to be in a big city or somewhere more remote?
-
Are you called to the nations, or figuring it out?
-
What’s your budget?
-
Do you want to go deeper in cross-cultural missions?
- Do you want to be at a big base or a smaller ywam location?
At YWAM Experience Asia, we don’t promise the biggest or trendiest DTS. But if you’re looking for a place that’s strategic, relational, and missions-driven—you’ll feel right at home.
