WHAT IS A BEACH TO BUSH DTS?
A 6 month adventure to grow in your relationship with God as you hit the road, exploring the beauty of Australia — from its beaches to the outback — and bringing His love to communities along the way.
ADVENTURING
WITH GOD
Beach to Bush was the first traveling DTS in Australia, designed for those with a heart for adventure – inviting you to bring that same passion into their journey with God.
During the training phase, you’ll go “off the beaten track” and spend around 7 weeks travelling to different coastal & country towns in Queensland & New South Wales, where you’ll explore & bless the communities there – as you pray, worship, serve in practical ways & grow in boldly sharing your faith.
KNOW GOD
TRAINING PHASE
4 MONTHS
Each week you’ll dive into a new topic, growing in knowing who God is, how to hear His voice, and how to walk in an intimate relationship with Him.
Your home base will be in Brisbane, but some weeks you’ll hit the road. You might have lectures while camping in the Aussie outback or go on outreach in chilled coastal towns.
There, you’ll put what you’re learning into practice — using your gifts to share the gospel and bless the communities in real time.

WORD FROM SCHOOL LEADER
Beach to Bush DTS is an adventure with Jesus at the center. I’m deeply passionate about this ministry and love seeing others grow in their heart for God and for missions through it! Each year, God so carefully handpicks unique groups of people from around the world for us to journey with and serve alongside.
Our heart is for people not only to gain a deeper understanding of who God is and to share His goodness, but also to catch His heart for what He is doing in this nation. As we travel to different country and coastal towns across Australia, we encounter God’s heart in both deep and joy-filled ways. I’m always expectant and excited to see what He will do through this school!
