You’ve experienced God in a radical way during DTS and now you want to help make the same thing happen for others. SOMD will further equip you to make a difference in the world, whether it’s on a university campus, in the work place, or in a remote third-world village. In order to be effective in ministry you need to understand how God designed you, others, and your God given gifts and strengths. SOMD is designed to equip you to do all these things and prepare you for ministry.
SOMD Lecture Phase is set up similar to DTS, with three months living in a live/learn community. SOMD is designed to individualize the skills and purpose you’ve discovered in DTS, and teach you how to apply them to your own call of God. As well, SOMD will also help equip you with tools in pioneering your own ministry to further God’s kingdom in the world.
You Pray. You Hear. You Plan. You Go. YWAM staff will guide and assist you as you put together your outreach, whether to an existing ministry we’ve worked with, or something completely new.
*Outreach is not required for completion of SOMD, but highly encouraged!
