First, the program begins with 11 weeks of classroom teaching, providing you with practical skills, hands-on experience, and deep spiritual growth.

In doing so, you’ll become more prepared for meaningful ministry in diverse cultural contexts.
What is an SOE?
- We like to call it a Traiblaze School.
Throughout the Trailblaze School, you will gain essential skills in cross-cultural communication, apologetics, and contextualized ministry tools. Specifically, you will learn how to tell impactful stories, build meaningful relationships, and address common questions with respect. Most importantly, you will put these tools into action as you go out and share the Gospel, thus refining your skills and broadening your ministry approach. - Spiritual Growth and Character Development
This course isn’t just about acquiring new skills; rather, it’s about deepening your walk with God. As you journey through the program, you will grow in personal devotion, character formation, and reliance on the Holy Spirit. Moreover, our vibrant community of passionate Gen Z believers will inspire you to strengthen your faith and live out God’s calling in all aspects of life. Through this process, you will build a stronger foundation in your spiritual life. - Hands-On Experience
The Trailblaze program emphasizes active outreach, so you’ll get plenty of opportunities to engage in trips and local ministry efforts. This hands-on experience is crucial to developing a deep understanding of different cultures and a greater appreciation for their unique perspectives. As a result, you’ll learn how to effectively minister and share the love of Jesus in relevant ways, thus making a lasting impact.
What to do after a DTS?
- Join a second-level school with YWAM.
It will give you a great community and at YWAM EA you will get involved in outreach opportunities in the city. We believe in “doing life together,” creating an environment where you can experience ministry firsthand, build lasting friendships, and be inspired by others’ journeys. Through this community, you will grow in ways you never imagined, and you’ll gain invaluable insights from your peers. - Stay plugged in and reach out
Life is better when we do it together. In this course, we will have classes and tons of practical exposure each week that will help you deepen your knowledge, and develop your skills for sharing the Gospel. This program will better help you to face challenges head-on and navigate the complexities of global ministry with confidence. - Strategic Location in Asia
Our location in Asia offers a great opportunity to engage with diverse communities who may have limited access to the Gospel. By serving in this region, you’ll experience different cultures and worldviews, which will prepare you for cross-cultural ministry and help you share the love of Jesus more effectively. This unique opportunity will allow you to grow in ways that can’t be replicated elsewhere.
