ABOUT THE BLS
Grow in your influence as a Christ-like leader. This 18-month, hands-on program will deepen your own walk with God, as you disciple others in their faith. Plus, you'll have a blast on the staff team at YWAM Brisbane.
We believe leadership and influence is developed out of relationship and not a title or position. That's why the Basic Leadership School (BLS) is more than simply sitting in a classroom. You'll be stretched as a leader as you learn, and then do. Some track opportunities available to you through the BLS include: a role working with our DTS students throughout their school; cafe internship track learning coffee, hospitality and business as a ministry; contributing in one of our many other ministries and operational functions - whatever you choose, you will be challenged to grow in your leadership and learn more of what it looks like to live life on mission.
All the while, you will receive training on topics such as working in a ministry team, public speaking, Bible study and understanding Biblical worldview, evangelism and missions, leadership, discipling others, leading worship and prayer times, as well as training in your chosen track.
Upon successfully completing the 18-month BLS, you will receive a Certificate IV in Christian Missions with YWAM Training. We say: "...with YWAM Training" - but the greater vision for this course is that you would graduate with both knowledge and life experience that will encourage you to use your full potential as a Christ-like leader.
TESTIMONIES
"Throughout my BLS I learned that staying consistent with reading the Bible and having quiet times is not the most important thing, but that consistently connecting with the Lord is the most important thing even if sometimes it’s also the hardest. God taught me how to seek growth and how to do it with Him."
