Introduction to Business as Mission
The Introduction to Business as Mission seminar is created from the first two weeks of the 12-week School of Business and Entrepreneurship (SOBE). It is recommended both as a stand-alone seminar for those wanting a "taste" of what BAM is, as well as for someone that is not yet sure if they want to commit to taking the full 12-week SOBE. All of our online learning is done using Moodle as our Learning Management System (LMS) and Panopto as our Video Content Management System (Video CMS). The course is structured using 202 short video clips followed by questions the student answers to ensure active learning. The student can start and stop whenever they want. Moodle will resume the course at the point they left off and is accessible through a web browser on any computer or a downloadable app on a mobile device. Each answer is reviewed and graded by the seminar staff. The primary teacher is Mark Fisher (160) videos, with Landa Cope appearing in 28 videos.

School of Photography I
The goal of the School of Photography (SOP I) is to inspire and train Christians to use photography as a communications tool for the Kingdom of God. That may be through business or more traditional missions. These schools may be unique in teaching photography from a Christian perspective: not just what we do, not just technique, but how our knowing Christ should make a difference. We seek students who have a passionate, burning desire to go beyond a self-centered, "personal enrichment" or hobby level, who want to use their camera to serve others. The SOP I is very concentrated twelve week course, so students must be highly motivated and teachable. There are two levels of the photography school available in the UofN. They are the School of Photography I and School of Photography II. Both are all digital.
The School of Photography I, including color and black+white, is the first level. The School of Photography II, including color and black+white, is the second level. Successful completion of the SOP I is required for the SOP II.
About the SOP I internship: After completing the School of Photography I (CMC 241) students gain practical experience through three months of on-the-job training, supervised by a professional photographer, in either a mission or business setting.
Scholarships and adjusted tuition for SOP I, II and SOP Internships may be available upon request.

Foundations for Counseling Ministry
The vision the FCM and of our college serves the overall vision of YWAM, which can be summarized as: knowing God and Making Him known. The University of the Nations also describes the vision as discipling the nations; that is, extending the Kingdom of God into every people group, every nation, every culture and every domain of society by proclamation, mentoring and service.
Our college vision fits into this overall vision: equipping and releasing people to disciple the nations. The tools and understanding of counselling and health care are the means through which we contribute to that vision.
The name of this school embodies that vision.
“Foundations” – the school is intended to provide the Biblical foundations upon which Christian counselling ministry can be built. As such it reflects the overall heart of the college and the foundations stones God has built into the college. Anyone seeking to obtain a counselling degree in the U of N must do this course so that those foundations are set in place.
“For” – these are not just foundations ‘of’ knowledge. These are not just foundations ‘of’ knowing God, and the healing power of relationship with Him, in our own heart. These are ‘for’ a purpose and that purpose is to reach out to others like ourselves, who need God to be active in their lives, and introduce them to that same healing relationship. The purpose is that our students will move from personal transformation into active involvement in bringing transformation to others.
The core purpose of any Christian missionary organisation is to share the gospel with people (individuals, families, communities and nations) who do not know God so that they can come to know Him and then be transformed through discipleship. This is also the purpose of the FCM.
“Counselling” – is the broad set of tools and means that we prepare our students to use when they are involved in discipling the nations. The purpose of the FCM is to equip them with those tools so that they can be used. They may or may not be called a ‘counselor’ but they will use the understanding, skills and methods of counselling as they share the gospel and disciple people.
“Ministry” – this is the action word. Our desire is that our students are equipped for, called into and become active in ministry, applying what they have learned to extend the Kingdom of God.
Our vision is to begin equipping people in the Christian counselling arena by introducing them to a biblical counselling philosophy, imparting basic counselling skills, and walking with them through their own growth and healing process. In this process, we help our students discover their own vision for how they can take what they gain in our schools and "disciple" their own domain.

The Apostle Paul
The Study of the Apostle Paul Seminar provides the opportunity to engage with two classic textbooks on the subject of the apostle Paul, his writings and theology. The subject of the theology of the apostle Paul is far too vast to examine exhaustively in one semester. Thus this seminar is designed to analyze and interpret the "building blocks," i.e., the major themes and topics that form the foundation of the Apostle Paul's theology. The goal of better understanding the theology of Paul is that the student will be better equipped to teach from the Pauline corpus so that the Body of Christ might be built up.

School of Supernatural Missions
The School of Supernatural Missions (SSM) has 9 weeks of focused training in life in the Spirit and supernatural ministry. It’s a live in intensive training program focused on intimacy with God, the character of a revivalist, physical and inner healing, prophecy, deliverance, the House of Prayer and power evangelism. We plan to have prayer and worship going throughout IGNITE and hosting our Healing Rooms. We’ll also be practicing power evangelism in the community. The classroom, the prayer room, the “Healing Rooms”, and outreach will all be integrated into a “spirit-and-truth” encounter with the love and power of God. We will be looking at supernatural ministry through the lens of the great commandment (love), and the great commission–taking the “Gospel of the Kingdom” to the darkest places on earth.

Biblia para la Vida
This course equips you to handle God's Word joyfully, passionately and correctly. How? We will explore the story that ties all the books of the Bible together and read almost the entire Bible. You will be trained to study the Bible together and individually in a reliable and practical way: inductive Bible study. To accomplish this, you will study in depth one or more books from each major biblical genre: a historical book, a prophet, a letter, etc. Once you have completed the course, you can use and enhance your developing inductive study skills for the rest of your life. In addition, you will practice biblical meditation and increase your ability to share the Word: lead a Bible study group or give solid biblical preaching. All of the above is accomplished by learning together and with a personal tutor.
In summary
1. Study inductively to get to the true heart and life direction of God's Word (this will be the main emphasis throughout the course).
2. Discover God's story.
3. Meditate on the Bible to expand and review a little more on individual passages.
4. Share the Word through Bible study or small group preaching, because sharing leads to deeper and richer learning as the Word comes to light.
These courses fulfill the U of N core curriculum requirement for Bible.

Bible For Life
This course equips you to joyfully, passionately, and correctly handle the Word of God. How? We will explore the one Story that ties all the books of the Bible together and read almost the whole Bible. You will be trained to study the Bible together and individually in a reliable and practical way: inductive Bible study. To accomplish this, you will study one or more books of each main biblical genre in depth: a historical book, prophet, letter, etc. Having completed the course, you can use and improve your developing inductive study skills the rest of your life. Moreover, you will practice Bible meditation and grow your ability to share the Word: lead a Bible study group or deliver solid biblical preaching. All the above is accomplished by learning together and with a personal tutor.
In short, how will you walk away from Bible For Life, equipped to handle the Word with joy, passion and true spiritual insight and wisdom?
1. Study inductively to get at the true heart of and the life direction from God’s Word (this will be the main emphasis throughout the course)
2. Discover the Story of God
3. Meditate on the Bible to zoom in and chew a little longer on individual passages
4. Share the Word through small group Bible study or preaching, because sharing leads to deeper and richer learning and to the Word going out

Word By Heart - Genesis to Revelation
In this course students will discuss, debate and meditate on weekly Scriptures using the Inductive Bible Study method, in order to find deeper meaning and understanding of the Bible as a whole, and come to the realization of how the overlying message throughout the scriptures ultimately leads to Jesus. This process will result in an experience so deep that students can then re-tell stories from different passages throughout the Bible, word for word in their native language—as if they were an actual eyewitness to the event. In doing this, students will receive new revelations from the Scriptures, and are transformed to be more like Jesus. They will also learn storytelling skills and practice natural memory techniques, by creating imaginary memories to see what the eyewitnesses saw and say what they meant, developing honest, technique-free communication that compels audience attention and understanding of the scriptures. In this way, Word By Heart equips people to work with Oral Bible Translation projects, as well as contributes to the End Bible Poverty Now movement.

The Gospel is the Good News of the Kingdom of God - inaugurated by Jesus in His first coming but "not yet" complete until His second coming. As followers of Jesus we are called to proclaim and spread the Gospel and live out its implications. We pursue an integrated, holistic approach to aligning with God's Kingdom agenda of righting relationships with Himself, others, and creation; to restoring justice; and to bringing healing to a broken world. We highlight a Biblical Christian Worldview and the resulting pursuit of a lifestyle of doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God (Micah 6:8) in every sphere of society.

From the secret place to the stage, worship connects us to the heart of God. Come be equipped as a worshiper in breathtaking Tauranga, New Zealand. In the three-month Training Phase, you will learn from experienced leaders and musicians, as well as gain hands-on, practical experience.
Here at YWAM Furnace NZ, we believe, as John Piper says, that worship is both the fuel and the goal of missions. That’s why the Prayer Room is central to all that we do. As a part of the School of Worship, spending time in the Prayer Room is built into eight+ hours of your weekly schedule, with plenty of time to jump in and get experience being a part of a worship team. We believe that God wants to propel prophetic messengers like flaming arrows from the ends of the earth into the nations. But it has to start in the place of intimacy.
It is our desire that the School of Worship would be a season where you can dive deep into intimacy with God, discovering more about who He is and who He has created you to be, and that your heart would burn with passion for the King of Kings as you gaze upon His beauty.
Finally, discover your vital role as a worshiper on the mission field during the two-month Outreach. We are committed to reaching the lost, and worship opens doors to people’s hearts in a unique way. Our short-term outreaches serve long-term workers, come alongside existing ministries, and can help pioneer new initiatives. Altogether, it will be an unforgettable experience as you know God and make Him known as a worshiper.
The School of Worship is a 5 month school with 3 months of training followed by 2 months of outreach and is a second level school with the University of the Nations. This means that you must have already completed a DTS (Discipleship Training School). It is a school for those who are passionate about worship, enthusiastic about music and longing to know God on a deeper level. This school is for those who want to reach the nations by being worship leaders and facilitators of God’s presence, who draw others into his love and truth in creative and unique ways.

School of the Living Word
This course was developed as a mentoring process that would establish and strengthen an approach to the scriptures that lets them live (Heb. 4:12). That is, we come to the Bible text to hear from Him, the Living Word. We emphasize personal application rather than pursuing, for example, metaphysics, systematic theology, or philosophical speculation. A leading elder does most of the teaching, drawing on the time-honored tradition of being mentored by an established teacher and leader. An epistemology that specifically believes in and practices daily the importance of being taught by divine relational revelation is adhered to and practiced. The primary methods are written questions about the passage we are considering, daily written answers by each student, meditation, worship, personal prayer, and a Socratic classroom climate where the leader guides by asking questions to stimulate deeper understanding, universal participation by the students, and active response to what God is saying.
