Training and Education within YWAM aims to better equip
Christians to serve others in everything
from agriculture and healthcare, to drug rehabilitation and biblical counseling.
Through the mission's degree-granting University of the Nations, staff
can study in specialized areas such as science and technology,communications,
the humanities, and Christian ministry.
The basic YWAM school that is a requirement for applying as YWAM staff,
and serves as a prerequisite to all other training programs, is called
Discipleship Training School (DTS).
Each year some 10,000 students follow one or more of several hundred schools--in
about 250 differentlocations. Most YWAM schools combine classroom teaching
with practical service application.
