Welcome to YWAM Canarias' Discipleship Bible School (DBS)

Transform your life through the Word of God in the heart of the Canary Islands. The Bible should not be confusing, but rather a light and a joy in the life of believers. These 12 weeks are dedicated to helping you establish a solid foundation in your faith and in your love for the Word of God. Laying a solid foundation will prepare you for a lifetime of knowing God through His Word and will give you confidence as you go out to the nations to make Him known.
Begin your journey of deep biblical discovery at our beautiful island base, surrounded by community, sunshine, and opportunities to know God and make Him known.
What is a DBS?
The Discipleship Bible School is a three-month intensive program designed for those who want to know the Word of God firsthand. You will read through the entire Bible, participate in group studies, explore its historical context, and discover how the Bible transforms lives today.
Each week is dedicated to a different section of the Story of God, developed from Genesis to Revelation. You will be equipped to read and explore the Bible for yourself with the guidance of experienced teachers from diverse cultures, ages, and backgrounds.

Why do DBS in the Canary Islands?
The DBS is a time to step away from the demands of daily life and dedicate 12 weeks to diving deep into the Word of God. And what better place to do it than the Canary Islands? Beyond their beauty and unique blend of cultures, climates, and landscapes, the Canary Islands are a land of opportunity to serve people from all nations, languages, and walks of life. Plus, as a pioneering base, there are many ways to get involved in the base ministries or even start new ones!
Over 12 weeks, you will journey through the Bible chronologically, encountering God in every chapter. The curriculum includes daily reading, classes with experienced teachers, themed group projects, and small group discussions. The weekly modules make Scripture both accessible and transformative.
At the DBS in the Canary Islands, you will join a close-knit, multicultural family. Days begin with worship and intercession, followed by learning and discussion. Meals are communal, with everyone participating. Free time is for exploring the islands, playing sports, or deepening new friendships.
