It is our heart to see the continent of Africa reached with the Gospel. We believe that the key to doing this is by empowering influencers with the tools to powerfully study and teach the Bible and sending them out.

We work with the School of Biblical Studies (SBS), which is a nine month course that teaches students to study the Bible inductively. This program develops within students and powerful love for the Word and the tools and practice to pull solid and accurate understanding from it. Our students range from young people fresh into the mission field to experienced pastors looking to better understand the Bible.
We are a part of YWAM Muizenberg, which is located just outside of Cape Town, South Africa. What initially drew YWAM to this community was it's stance as a 'grey area' under apartheid. In the twenty plus years of it's operation, this base has continued to be a pillar of cultural acceptance and cooperation. The heart of this base lies in it's work in training, community outreach, and mercy ministries.
Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is an international, interdenominational missions organization that has been around for more than 50 years. YWAM has a decentralized structure that encourages new vision and the exploration of new ways to change lives through training, evangelism, and mercy ministries. We are currently operating in more than 1000 locations in over 180 countries, with a staff of over 18,000.
