General information

The Tower of Pisa is one the most famous Italian monuments in the world! It was built in 1174 but the construction was suspended when the tower started to lean on one side because of weak foundations. The constructors tried to solve the worst of the problems building an upper level which inclined in the opposite direction. The building was completed towards the second half of the XIV century. Today the top of the 8 storey cylindrical building reaches 56 metres and the centre of the mass is shifted 6.40 metres!

Are your foundations weak as well?
Does your life feel "out of tilt"?
We want to help you build your life on the strongest foundation that exists: Jesus Christ. How? Inviting you to take part in our... Discipleship Training School!

What's a Discipleship Training School?

A Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a five and a half month course for young people over 18, coming together for in-depth teaching and training in Christian living, evangelism, and missions.

Those taking part come from different places, representing different denominations.
The DTS offers a period of theoretical and practical training, and is attended by believers from different parts of Italy, and from other nations. School outreaches have gone to different places in Italy, Albania, Africa and Brazil.

The main aspects of the three-month Lecture Phase include time for personal devotion, teaching by international speakers, small group meetings for sharing, personal application and prayer, as well as time to get to know the fellow students and explore the area. The school has a strong emphasis on Christian character development and personal application of truth. Subjects covered in the lectures will include:

  • Knowing God
  • Hearing God's voice
  • Relationships with God and other people
  • Prayer and worship
  • The Christian and the enemy
  • Evangelism and mission
  • The person and work of the Holy Spirit
  • Relationships and marriage
  • The Word of God

The two-month Outreach Phase will include opportunities for the students in the school to share their faith with others through methods of ministry such as street evangelism, drama, music and presentations in schools.
