We are located just outside of Denali National Park in Healy, Alaska. While here you will experience the local life and culture of not only Alaska, but of the Kingdom as well.
There are over 231 villages in Alaska and most of them are not on the road systems making them only accessible by either boat or small aircraft. This means that there are hundreds of people who may have never hear of the light, love and hope of Jesus.
While doing your Discipleship Training School with us, you will learn different topics such as: hearing Gods voice, Father heart of God, spiritual warfare, Original design/ personal Identity and how to be an effective minister of the Gospel. With these skills, you will be equipped to go into not only these unreached people groups, but also into all the world with the Gospel.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost, and to engage those who are un-engaged in their faith. We believe that He commissioned us to be His hands and feet and to GO!
Would you like to be a part of changing the world through missions?
the next scheduled Discipleship Training School will be from April 2nd to the end of August, 2025. There will be a possible October school running in 2025 as well.
The Lecture phase (April-June) for YWAM Denali is Approximately $3,800. This cost is due before arrival day.
Outreach (July & August) costs vary based on location but can be anywhere between $3,500- $6,000.
All tuition, room and board is included in the cost of your DTS for both lecture Phase and Outreach. Outreach flights to your next location are also covered in the expenses. Flights to the school and home from that school are not included in tuition or outreach costs.
There is a possibility for scholarships and fundraising options available. Contact us for more Questions about this.
This is a school for anyone 18+
Durring this school you will grow a deeper and more intimate relationship with God and learn skills to further the kingdom through either construction trades or medical missions.
Rob and Ticee Graham have been married for 26 years and have raised their five children in the interior of Alaska. They have felt a call on their life for missions since they’ve been married and have ministered in numerous countries. They cofounded Last Frontier Ministries based in Alaska and they and their family did their DTS in 2014 along with their five children in Kona, Hawaii. In the summer of 2018, they went on staff with the Medical DTS in Kona until 2023, at which time YWAM KONA commissioned them to pioneer a new YWAM near Denali, Alaska.
In 1972, I did my first DTS in Torrejon, Spain — and I was hooked!
To discover that God still spoke and wanted to speak to ME, to have an ongoing, daily conversation with me --
That He had dreams specifically for me —
That His Word was ALIVE and relevant to my life —
Those things changed me then and continue to shape me now.
They're the reason I LOVE DTS!
It's my happy place and I'm looking forward to meeting you there 🙂

Hey! My name is Mirella, but people call me Bitty. I was born and raised in Healy, Alaska. I did my DTS and DBS in Potchefstroom, South Africa in 2023. I am so excited to be staffing with YWAM Denali and can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for this base!
Hey there, I'm Brad. Originally from Pennsylvania, though I didn't grow up in a christian home, eventually my immediate family and I all came to the Lord within a few years of each other, and have been following Jesus ever since. I did my DTS back in 2017 in Kona Hawaii, and have been staffing DTS's since 2020. One of the things I'm passionate about is discipleship; encouraging, equipping and seeing others walkout their lives with God, and grab hold of all the things they learn Christ has freed them from, then sharing that with others.
Hi! I'm Olivia, I am 22 and from southern Missouri!! I did my DTS in Kona Hawaii in 2020. It was so life changing for me in every way, Hearned so much about Jesus, experienced so much healing and freedom, and met lifelong friends! Since doing YWAM I have been on the most exciting adventure with the Lord, I have gotten to do things and go places I never dreamed of. I am so excited to be on staff and continue with YWAM, I love this ministry so much and the impact it has on people! I think I'm most excited to just connect with students and talk with them and hear their stories!! Also to just watch them grow in their identity in Christ and see their lives be forever changed!! Fun fact about me I got voted in school most likely to laugh when I'm not supposed to, so if you want a guaranteed laugh sit by me in class!
