Missionary Training

Training

At YWAM-Madison, our vision is to train others--from all ages and backgrounds--to go into all the world as true examples of a disciple of Christ.

Discipleship Training School (DTS) is five months set aside for you to learn about yourself, God, and God's heart for the world. The summer DTS can be done over two summers to accommodate students and teachers. The fall DTS welcomes people of all ages and is completed in one five-month segment.

Access is a summer leadership training camp and outreach for teens. In past summers, teams have gone to Jamaica, Grenada, Belize, and Barbados.

School of the Bible (SOTB) is a ten-month course through the University of the Nations that provides an overview of church history, theological and philosophical perspectives, and an emphasis on how to study, apply, and teach principles of the Bible.

Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL) school gives you the knowledge and experience to teach English in any country, especially Asia. You will work with students in the Bridge to the Nations ESL school.

Media Archive Project (MAP) makes foundational YWAM teaching available in a digital format. Streaming audio downloads and podcast are available. Search "YWAM" through iTunes or subscribe at the following link: http://www.ywampodcast.org

Seminars and retreats: We present various seminars on topics including prayer, missions involvement, relationships, and campus ministry. We also host retreats for churches and other organizations. Call our office if you would like to host a retreat at our training center.

Short Term Outreaches are an opportunity to be involved in missions on a short term basis. Teams go out during University breaks (winter and spring) and have gone to New York, Las Vegas, Haiti, Mexico, and various other nations and urban US cities.
