In January 1998, Larry B. Reese created a school to disciple and mentor those who worked with him in the ministry. In the beginning, the class was reserved for the most part to only team members, but a few others attended also. Larry Reese wanted the team to be the first to go through the school.

In January 1999, Larry B. Reese established Raffa Discipleship School and opened it to the public as an extension of Raffa Front-Line Ministries International, Inc.

In May 2003, RDS established its home offices at His Presence Training Center & Church. The church provides a spiritual covering and reference point for the school. RDS is also in relationship with the Ministerial Association of The Worship Center of Lawrenceville, GA under Pastor Shirley Gregory.
