Latvia is a pretty small country, and pity for the world, not everyone knows where we are and who we are. 
So if you are planning to do Discipleship Training School, but still don’t know where to, let us help you decide.

1. Amazing nature! We have all the seasons, and it is amazing to see the time, weather and nature changing.

2. Here in YWAM Valdemārpils, we are like a family.

 

3. Some of the most incredible international teachers come to Latvia to teach in our DTS, and there is always a chance to talk with them.

4. Our international staff team is passionate and creative, and very good looking!
5. The forest is sometimes our classroom. We have NIKO leadership camp and Ropes Course (in our back yard, cool HUH?).

6.  We keep our costs as low as possible, so that it is not a burden for the students.

7. Latvia has a unique history, and influence from the west and the east, so its a great mix of cultures.
8. Our capital city RIGA is one of the most beautiful and fascinating cities in Europe (Just sayn’).
9. God is up to something in Latvia and we are looking for more people to join us.
 

10. Everything is natural…it’s better that way. We live close to nature and we use everything that it gives us…because it is better that way.

11. We usually have fantastic outreaches where you get to make it all happen. Experience different culture and have an unforgettable time.

 

12. After DTS (or even now) you can join our mission trips to other nations and have friends from all over the world.

13. By the way, the storks hang out and come back every year.

It is like an evening,
Sun is going down
Golden dandelions you put in
The Coffee spout.

You are the gold for me
I’m out of copper.
I knew you already before
The first world war.

Then I was a fat Turkish
Chitel and Chalm
I saw you at the
Nikolaev court.

Time is changing, times are mixing
Time is not much longer.
In a small picture frame
I have a picture of you
I have a picture of you.
