Welcome To YWAM Osaka Asian Center DTS


The God of David, Moses, Paul...

Not just the God of famous characters in the Bible, but my God that created and gave his life for me

Who is God, not only what he has done, but who is God


and who am I

Why was I created, what do I live for

what am I heading for


The ones I love and this world

How do I comprehend, how do I relate with them

to let go of occupied life for a moment

and sit next to God, an encounter, an experience

longing to know who my God is, who I am, and who the world is

to stand firm in God, to walk in Him throughout the rest of your days


We invite you to Osaka DTS.

Outreach PHASE


Encounter the heart of God

After the 3-month lecture phase, we enter the outreach phase. Outreach is to apply what the students have learned and experienced as they will evangelize and serve community churches in designated regions and countries.

Outreach in Japan

Christianity came to Japan early as from 1549, but Christianity was also persecuted for more than 200 years that led to many Christian martyrs. The outreach in Japan will be hosted in local Japanese churches and serving the needs of the churches.


Outreach to a Third World country

Koreans and Japanese students will be united to go to East Asian countries that Japan has dominated during World War II.
These are nations with regions that have never heard of the Gospel, church communities that hold underground services due to persecution and places that are continually struggling due to the aftermath of war. As we live and serve with the local Christians, the outreach will encourage students to learn about the heart of God and challenge students on living a life following Christ.


Countries we have visited

Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Taiwan, China, Philippines, Mongolia, Sakhalin, South Korea, Cambodia, India, Saipan, Tinian

Eat Hard Work Hard Love Hard

Life living as a family

COMMUNITY LIFE


Community abundant in Christ



Diverse people of different nations and backgrounds gathered to live as a family.
Though it may not always be an easy path, as we embrace and commit to each other, we come to experience the love and grace of God and the significance of the body of Christ.
It is our aspiration, that we are transformed and polished to live as followers of Christ through this path.


Eat Hard, Work Hard, Love Hard

Life changes and training take place at this time.
