Compassion Takes Action T-Shirts

Compassion means “deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it.” But we believe there is one more step in compassion: action. At YWAM Madison, we show compassion to people living in heartbreaking conditions.

We created this t-shirt to motivate people that compassion takes action! Your purchase of this t-shirt helps us reach these at risk kids, women, and communities. All proceeds from the shirt will be put back into YWAM Madison programs that reach vulnerable people in Madison and in the nations.

Community Development Seminar: August 2013

Every person has the right to basic necessities of food, water, clothing, shelter and health care. Yet many communities across the earth suffer today, waiting for someone who will show God’s love, who will be their voice, who will serve and teach them God’s way of life.

Key to making a lasting impact in these communities is a Biblical understanding of both poverty and underdevelopment and what steps to take towards addressing these issues. The community development seminar will help you grasp more of God’s heart for these communities and understand better how to implement holistic development.

Healing Prayers in Nepal

One of the Bible School for the Nations outreach teams is in Nepal. Partnering with BELT Ministries (Bible Education and Leadership Training), they have been teaching 47 Nepali pastors and Christian leaders, young and old, male and female.

One of the Bible school students writes about the final day of the 2-week seminar.

“Throughout this time, God did mighty things. Some people were healed, others had new revelations of God’s love and were taken to a new depth with Him. He filled the room and spoke to everyone in new ways.”

Community Development DTS

June 9 – November 8, 2013

Every person has the right to basic necessities of food, water, clothing, shelter and health care. Yet many communities across the earth suffer today, waiting for someone who will show God’s love, who will be their voice, who will serve and teach them God’s way of life.

The Community Development Discipleship Training School will focus on some of the most prominent needs of communities around the world — clean water, sustainable agriculture, sanitation, nutrition and justice. We will focus on the heart of God and his desire that all people be blessed.

School of Communication Foundations

May 20 – August 9, 2013

Does this sound like you? You’re passionate, you want to be a voice for the voiceless, you want to make a difference. But your own voice gets drowned out by all the other clamor around you. Maybe you haven’t discovered your voice yet, but you know that God has put a passion within you and you’ve got to share it!

The purpose of the School of Communication Foundations (SCF) is to strengthen your relationship with God as a personal God who communicates truth with love to His world, both individually and corporately. You will develop the character, knowledge, and skills to communicate God’s love and truth passionately to His world. Learn more: YWAM School of Communication Foundations

Rescue Ops YWAM-DTS: Fall 2013

“By our efforts, we have lit a fire in the minds of men. It warms those who feel its power, it burns those who fight its progress, and one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world.”

This cry for freedom echoes around the world. It echoes behind dark curtains in Indian brothels. It echoes through African villages ravaged by drought. It echoes in the hilltribes of Myanmar where young boys are kidnapped and forced to become soldiers. So long as just one of us is bound, none of us is free.

Our vision is to train missionaries who can “accurately handle the word of God,” and communicate truth in a relevant way.
