Seeing The Scriptures

The vision of this school is to teach people how to study whole books of the Bible inductively focusing on skill development of tools given in the course. The foundational exercise on which the rest of study will be built is phrase diagramming as seen in commentary series such as ZEC and EGGNT. The idea of this approach is for students to format the text of a book to reflect the relationships of one phrase to the next. The other emphasis will be a discourse analysis approach to interpretation of the message of whole books. The students will employ both the literary and the Socio-Historical context of a book in the interpretation of the details. Finally, the student will learn to communicate the message of a book for contemporary culture through application to life and through a variety of other communication media.

School of Missional Justice (SMJ)

This Course affirms and explores the Missio Dei (the Mission of the triune God). The mission of the Creator is to glorify Himself through redeeming sinful humans and restoring corrupted creation. 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.

The AME School of Production with Dance, Acting, and Music Specialties is a third-level University of the Nations course which is run at YWAM Rosario, Argentina by their art ministry, AME Company (Artists in their Maximum Expression). With a central focus on the professional development of the artist’s technique and character, the school offers students training in one of three different specialties: dance, acting, or music. Students enrolled in the AME School may choose only one area to study in. Each specialty covers separate curriculums designed to prepare, train, and develop professional Christian artists who are called to reach and transform this sphere of society. Parallel to the technique studies, all students of the AME will receive teachings on biblical foundations of the arts such as character of the artist, co-creating with God, and the Spiritual power of the Arts to name a few. We look for artists who want to leave it all on the floor; dancers, actors and musicians who are willing to do what it takes to be integral, professional, and transcendent in their gifts. The school lasts 6 months and is divided in three parts: the theoretical/technical phase (3 months), the research phase (1 month), and the production phase (2 months). During the theoretical/technical phase, students will take classes given by professional artists in and outside of YWAM. During the afternoons students will receive theoretical teachings on biblical foundations of the arts. After these first three months, the research phase begins. The school will travel to other cities with strong artistic movements to study the cultural riches of said places to acquire and apply them in the creative process. Students will attend different artistic classes, events, conferences, and artistic expositions in each place. Upon arrival students will enter the production phase where they will study different aspects of production such as wardrobe, makeup, set design, illumination and sound, script study, choreographic and musical composition etc. To finalize the school, students will work together with their peers and teachers to create a final piece.

School of Worship

Unlock fresh passion as you unleash your sound.   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. Come and join us!

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.

The school deals with the cultural developments in our global world and gives insight into the thinking behind current social and political changes. The school will help you to find answers to your questions from a biblical approach. We look at today’s trends and various worldviews and at their historical and philosophical roots. With the Bible as our foundation, we educate Christians to be responsible and well-informed citizens in all spheres of life (family, economy, politics, science, church, media, and the arts). During this course, you learn to see the world through God's eyes and to understand what He wants to do through you in your nation. Learning will be hands-on, as we visit historical and significant places in Switzerland like Geneva, (the City of Reformation and the UN) and Berne (where the Swiss Parliament is located). Additionally, we will visit businesses, churches and the Swiss Alps. You can look forward to learn from significant places of the Reformation, with speakers who are involved in positions of responsibility in different spheres of society. There will be classroom lectures, discussions and projects as well.
