The Training Center (TC) has been a part of YWAM Madison’s ministry and community since 1995! You know how important this place is if you’ve been with us at all in those past 31 years! How many lives have been changed here? How many lifelong friendships have begun here? How many missionaries have been trained and sent out from here? It’s a place of learning and laughter, tears and triumphs, and radical encounters with the Most High God!✨

If you’ve ever been on staff or taken a course with YWAM Madison over the past 40 years, you’re invited to our Alumni Reunion at the TC on Saturday, August 22!🥳

Come reconnect with old friends, relive memories, worship together, enjoy community and fellowship, laugh hard, and celebrate all God has done through this community across the generations. We can’t wait to see you there!

REGISTER BY MONDAY, JULY 13!

A few YWAM Madison staff members flew down to Panama last week for the YWAM Americas gathering.

One of our staff, Alicestasia, shared this testimony about her time, “Throughout the week, I was encouraged to hear how God has been challenging the larger YWAM family to walk in intentional, faithful obedience to Him, especially as Gen Z is rising up to take the torch from the older generations in YWAM.”

A DTS Elective is a focused time during the lecture phase where you get to grow in a specific passion or area you want to gain more experience in. Through weekly teachings, you’ll be equipped to develop your gifts and learn how to use them to serve God.

Apologetics means “to offer a defense”, specifically, a defense of Christian beliefs. It is useful both for strengthening the faith of existing believers and for removing barriers that people may have to belief in Jesus. In this elective, we will spend time on strengthening one another’s faith and on evangelizing on the university campus using the skills we’re learning in class!

This August, we are hosting a 2-week workshop to equip those looking to further their training in staffing a DTS. Over the course of two weeks, we will be training on the foundations of DTS, including one-on-ones, small groups, building healthy relationships, and more!

It will be a great opportunity to connect with staff from other bases, strengthen your own staff team, and grow in how we serve together. While designed for those looking to staff a DTS, this workshop can also be beneficial for anyone in YWAM wanting to grow in staffing any school.

If you are interested or have any questions, reach out to us at [email protected]!

“As you go, disciple all nations,” Jesus told His disciples. “Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Mat. 28:19-20). The fulfillment of the Great Commission is inseparably connected to education. And this world has never needed Godly teachers more than it does right now! This Elective is for anyone who has a heart for children and education, regardless of their background or training.

The Freedom's Cry DTS elective is focused on Biblical justice, compassion, and practical ways to fight modern-day slavery.
DTS electives are focused tracks within Discipleship Training School that let you go deeper into a specific area of interest.
Alongside core lectures, they provide additional teaching, hands-on experience, and outreach opportunities to help you grow in your faith and put what you’re learning into action.

Some of the most meaningful aspects of DTS happen in one-on-one discipleship.

During the six-month DTS program, each student is paired with a one-on-one mentor who is committed to walk alongside of them throughout their journey of going deeper with God.

If you are looking to go deeper with God with someone intentionally discipling you, learn more about our Ancient Paths DTS through the link in our bio!

DTS Outreach is an opportunity to take the knowledge and experiences gained during DTS, step out in faith, and serve communities around the world. 🌍️

This time of outreach stretches and transforms students, shaping both their perspective and their impact!
