What is Photo Story DTS?
YWAM San Diego/Baja’s Discipleship Training School is an accredited university-level course through the University of the Nations that is five months long.
You and your fellow students will participate in a three-month Campus Phase, including life-impacting teaching, daily devotionals, and powerful worship and prayer times with our YWAM community.
Our campuses are located in the beautiful Baja region of Mexico, just south of San Diego and the U.S. border.
After the 3-month Campus Phase, you are sent out on a 2-month international outreach trip equipped with newfound effective and powerful communication. In the Outreach Phase, you will be able to use your missions photography skills to be a voice for what God is doing in the nations through photography and media.
A new DTS starts every fall, winter, and spring on either our San Antonio Del Mar or Ensenada campus. Both DTS are offered in English and Spanish, with locations only a few minutes walk from the beach. We can’t wait to see you there!
Campus Phase
Our DTS starts with a three-month Campus Phase where students discover more about who God is while surrounded by God's beauty in beautiful Baja California, Mexico, just south of San Diego.
The core of the DTS is to become equipped in knowing God and making him known. This comes through classes, personal devotions, times of prayer and worship, serving in our local communities, and being part of the YWAM community on campus. DTS tracks are designed to give you training in the passions that God has given you in addition to the core of the Disicpleship Training School.
When you choose the Photo Story DTS track, you will grow in your skills to use photography and storytelling to communicate God’s story, advocate on behalf of others, and use social media as a tool for His kingdom!
The Photo Story DTS track is for anyone with a passion or interest in photography, no matter your existing skill level. We can help provide the equipment you need to impact others with the love of Jesus through visual storytelling.
Students live in a close-knit community with one another and encourage one another to grow in their walk with the Lord.

How does photography fit into discipleship?
Genesis 1:26-27 says that we are all created in God’s image. When you capture communities and individuals through photography, you’re creating a visual story of God’s incredible love for his people and making it a tangible piece of His Story that can be shared with others. It’s calling out beauty from even the hardest and darkest places - exactly what Jesus did for us when he died on the cross! Connect with the Gospel as you use your passion for photography to know God more and make him known!
