“Become an eyewitness and be transformed.”
Word-by-Heart School: April, 27th - July 25th, 2025
Dive deeper into the stories of Scripture with a three month program that equips you to internalize and share the Bible as if you were an eyewitness.
“We dream that people will fall in love with Jesus and His Word to share this joy with others.”
Word-by-Heart is a unique and immersive approach to studying the Bible. This method invites you to step into the stories of Scripture, experiencing them as though you were there yourself. Through this journey, you’ll encounter Jesus and the people of the Bible in a deeply personal way, discovering how their stories can transform your own life.
You’ll gain insights into the historical and cultural backgrounds of these stories and exchange perspectives with others. By using your imagination, you can vividly picture moments like Jesus opening the eyes of a blind man, bringing the stories to life in a tangible and unforgettable way.
The Word-by-Heart method helps you internalize these stories word for word, creating a lasting memory that you can share with others as if you had witnessed the events firsthand.

YOUTH WITH A MISSION (YWAM)
Youth With A Mission is a global movement of Christians from many cultures, age groups, and Christian traditions, dedicated to serving Jesus throughout the world. Also known as YWAM (pronounced “WHY-wham”), we unite in a common purpose to know God and to make Him known.
Back when we began in 1960, our main focus was to get youth involved in missions. Today, we still focus on youth, and we also involve people aged 9 to 90. We currently have tens of thousands of staff (called “YWAMers”) and we work in thousands of teams and locations.
One of the joys of participating in YWAM is to work with people from many nations. YWAM’s staff come from nearly every country in the world, and this brings a vibrant international spirit to everything we do.
AREAS OF MINISTRY
Evangelism
Our hope is to see fellowships of believers worshiping and following Jesus in every nation, tribe and tongue. We use tools such as music, performing arts and sports to connect with people of all ages and develop friendships which can lead to conversations of eternal value.
Training
Through our training programs we aim to better equip Christians to grow in their relationship with God and to serve others. Our introductory course is the Discipleship Training School (DTS). It’s an intensive five months of growing more like Jesus and serving Him in the world.
Mercy Ministries
If you believe it, you have to live it. YWAM’s mercy ministry teams follow Jesus’ example of compassion to those in need. We operate relief and development programs in over 100 countries, working among people living in desperate circumstances.
