Schools
Our desire is to release well-rounded leaders from Africa into the nations, to share the vision and gifts God has placed within them with a world in need of the unique treasures of these diverse and warm people. Our base is part of YWAM's international University of the Nations (UofN) which is geared at equipping students for life and preparing them for their destiny in over 90 locations worldwide - one of them in Jbay!
Most of the schools we offer are three to six months long. Each school has a 12-week lecture phase. This is followed in some schools by a 12-week outreach or internship phase which gives students the opportunity to put into practice what was taught in the classroom.

A final week of debriefing back on our campus readies students for their re-entry into their home environments.
Artist DTS
Why a Artist School?
The world has been entertained by the most gifted artists in human history even today. The sadness is that satan has kept many artists in bondage of their insecurities, hurts that hides behind the gift of arts.
Through this school we aim to bring discipleship, healing and a deeper understanding of the artists gift in service of the kingdom. We want to see a release of indigenous arts and the development of arts in our community. So if you are a musician , dancer, fine artist, craftsman, designer, graffiti artist, etc. any form of arts, you need to come and have a crazy time with us here in jbay. Hope to see you. Get your application in and be on your way. We want to grow with you.
