There’s only one international airport in Guadeloupe: « Pôle Caraïbes du Raizet / Pointe à Pitre le Raizet».

PRACTICAL PHASE

According to the vision the Lord has given us, we propose 6 destinations. Of course, they will be definitely adopted during the school, after a prayer time together (students and staff). The final destinations depend of the school and the students’ number.

HAÏTI

We’d like to invest in the oldest black republic in the world. We started working with Ywam-Jacmel (town situated in the South of the country), to help this pioneer work. Therefore, we’d like to work with other Ywam centre: Ywam located in Gonaives and in St-Marc. Marc. Actions type are : evangelism, social actions, etc..

CUBA*

The biggest island and the biggest Caribbean country, and also the last communists’ places; but also an island full of God’s Hope.

*Because we couldn’t stay more than 4 weeks in Cuba, we’ll probably finish the practical phase time (6 to 7 weeks) in Guadeloupe and in Martinique.

GUYANE

It’s the biggest French department and also the place where Arianne Rocket is based. But it’s also a country full of color, it’s a real population mosaic. There still have tribes populations where the Gospel is not already spread. It’s a pioneer work waiting on us, with thousands ways of evangelism.

FRANCE

Against all though, the fifth world power, Moliere country and Man Rights, keeps a mission land. The Lord has touched our heart regarding « ghettos places » in the great towns as Lyon, the Paris suburbs, Paris and Marseille, etc.

Schedule: Urban and social action evangelism.

BURKINA FASO

This wonderful West Africa country is victim of injustice witch break through God’s heart. Jesus has told us to take of children, and curse those who hurt them. Their names are « Garibous », from their young age, they’ve been given to a man in order that he teaches them Koran, but instead of that he obliged them to ask for money in streets and to give him back all the money. No limit pour les Kids it’s a Christian association witch is partner with other associations in Burkina witch work for those children’s. We’d like to do evangelism in a « classic »way, and participate to the work with them. >>No limit pour les kids<<

DESTINATION X

It’s a surprise destination, yes, God’s surprise. We want to stay open to receive our God’s surprises. This destination doesn’t change the vision God has given us, it obliges us to be aware of His Voice.

Of course, the propositions schedule of each destination is just an idea of what we could do. If you want to do your DTS in Guadeloupe, get prepare to go in one of those nations.

QUESTIONS/ANSWERS

Does the school only in French?

No, all our DTS are bilingual (French/English), lectures, small groups, all is translated. In two languages it’s more riche...

What are we doing between the two phases?

Generally we are all going somewhere. Most often, Guadeloupean people invite the students who couldn’t back to their home for the feast.

How long is the practical phase?

This year you'll have 3 or 4 days of break to rest a little bit before leaving for the pratical phase. You won't be allowed to back home.

How do we do for vaccinations and visas for this phase?

If we need vaccinations, they’ll be taken in Guadeloupe, because we decide together about the destinations. Medical centres in Guadeloupe are submit to Europeans norms and are good in quality. Vaccinations and visas are not included in the school price.

How to do if we don’t speak the language of the practical phase country?

We’ll have a translator with us (the team) during all our moving. If the team is bilingual and none of them is look like the country one, we’ll translate twice. But we will always to our best to break this language barrier.
