Discover the Cheapest YWAM DTS
Are you eager to grow in your faith and go on missions, but also mindful of your budget? You’re not alone. Many people want to do a Discipleship Training School (DTS) but worry about the cost. We hear you. Maybe you are looking for the Cheapest DTS, which is exactly what we provide. There are a few inexpensive DTS schools in the world. We want to have one of the Cheapest DTS so that we can help you to maximise your experience while minimising costs. We want to say: HELLO.
At YWAM Experience Asia in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, we offer one of the most affordable YWAM DTS programs in the world—without cutting corners on quality, discipleship, or adventure. It’s often referred to as the Cheapest DTS for those on a tight budget.
Our goal is simple: to make missions training accessible, transformative, and excellent.
Our focus on affordability means that you can participate in the Cheapest DTS without compromising on your mission experience.
Inexpensive / Cheap DTS
Our 5-month DTS costs $4,200 USD total, and that even includes your outreach flights! We do outreach in South East Asia (and beyond) so that means Japan, Nepal, Cambodia, Indonesia, etc. We love getting out to the nations and usually we go to two destinations.
Here’s what’s included:
-
Lecture phase (3 months of training, teaching, and community living)
-
Outreach phase (2 months in another part of Asia)
-
Housing, breakfast and dinner meals, and local transport
-
The program and ministry opportunities
We keep costs low so that finances aren’t a barrier to what God wants to do in your life. We don’t want finances to limit what God wants to do! We don’t include lunches, weekend meals or those unexpected fun activities you might want to do in your free time – like catching a movie or checking out little India and getting some street food.

By choosing the Cheapest DTS, you ensure that your financial resources are directed toward impactful experiences rather than unnecessary expenses.
What Makes YWAM Experience Asia Unique?
We are located just outside Kuala Lumpur, we’re in one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic and multicultural cities — the perfect place for missions and growth. You’ll be surrounded by people from all over the world, experience different cultures, and share God’s love in real, practical ways. Malaysia is a beautiful, safe country. It’s know as “Malaysia, truly Asia.”
Our DTS focuses on helping you know God personally and make Him known in your daily life and beyond. We have lots of ministry opportunities on our doorstep so it’s jumping into new experiences. This happens in the lecture phase as well as during outreach.
Adventure DTS Track
If you’re looking for some adrenaline-filled experiences while growing in faith, you can join our Adventure DTS track for just an extra $190 USD. 
Here’s a sample of some of what can be included:
-
White-Water Rafting
-
Paddleboarding
-
Jungle Hikes -
Waterfall Trips
-
Paintball
-
Ropes Course
-
Camping & Pickleball
-
Optional: Paragliding (+$60 USD)
These experiences build teamwork, courage, and character — while helping you encounter God in creation. Our Adventure DTS meets every Tuesday to go on an adventure. Sometimes those activities shift to a Saturday so we can make the most out of our time. We had a beautiful jungle hike and caught a gorgeous sunrise. And for our camping trip (was it camping or glamping?!), people loved chilling on the beach. It was reinvigorating and fun!
Why Choose an Affordable DTS?
Doing a cheaper YWAM DTS doesn’t mean you get less. It means your finances go further toward what matters most — people, missions, and growth in your walk with God. Maybe it means you get to experience more of the culture around you, serve the nations and have some fun.
We believe that every person should have the chance to step into missions, no matter their budget. Here’s another location in South America that has some good rates.
