Respond to your longing for a more intimate relationship with God
Who We Are
YWAM Sierra Leone is a ministry of Youth With A Mission (YWAM), a global movement of Christians from many cultures, age groups, and Christian traditions, dedicated to serving Jesus throughout the world. YWAM (pronounced “WHY-wham”), unites people with a common purpose to know God and to make Him known.
When YWAM began in 1960, our main focus was to get youth involved in missions. Today, our focus still remains on youth, with the participation of people aged 18 to 80. We currently work in more than 1,100 locations in over 180 countries, with more than 18,000 full time and short term volunteers.
What We Do
YWAM Sierra Leone is a ministry mainly running Discipleship Training School (YWAM DTS) that gives you an opportunity to discover your passions and your part in God’s purposes for the world. It is for those who long to follow Jesus in new ways with a different perspective.
What is a Discipleship Training School?
The YWAM DTS is a five months program blending classroom learning, small group activities, personal reflection, practical service, and community living known as outreach.
Most often, the training comes in two parts: lecture phase three months and outreach phase two months.
Every March
Discipleship Training School
Lecture Phase
Know God more.
In the lecture phase your focus will be on knowing God, His Word and His world. You will seek transformation, a renewed mind, and personal growth. You’ll learn not only from teachers but also from community living and practical training.
Outreach Phase
Make Him known.
During the outreach phase your class will break up into teams to serve God out in the world. You will have a chance to discover your abilities as you care for people and share the good news of Jesus.
