OUTREACH PHASE

LECTURE PHASE

Students are required to make a six month to a one-year commitment to an existing ministry with vulnerable children (this is the practical portion). YWAMers can do this practical part with YWAM (if the student is currently a staff member in another base, they may return to their original base to do their practical phase). Students coming from other ministries should complete their practical phase with the ministry that sent them. 

 

The options for the practical phase divide basically into 3 types of ministry:  

  1. Street Children    

  2. Community Development   

  3. Foster Care

 This practical phase allows students to implement their new-found skills in relevant field settings..

OPPORTUNITIES

 

Children are the most vulnerable group in any society. The focus of the CAR school is on those who have been placed at risk due to factors such as abandonment, poverty and other forms of injustice. 

 

The goal of the CAR course is to train staff/missionary workers to be able to continue the existing works of YWAM and other ministries with children , teenagers and their families, as well as to expand this work, starting new projects throughout Brazil and in other countries. We also seek to help other missions and churches in the development of projects reaching the new generation. This school helps the students to develop projects that will reach and generate transformation in the lives of children who live in a situation of social risk and, as a consequence, transform their families and the environment where they live.

 

The course is bilingual (Portuguese and English) and the theory part lasts three months. The curriculum includes, among other subjects, the following:

  • The Biblical bases for ministry

  • Working with families

  • Child development

  • Community Development

  • Children with special needs

  • Leadership

  • Sexuality

  • Legal aspects of working with children and families in Brazil

 

The school will allocate time to serve local communities, families and children. A written project provides you with the opportunity to delve into issues of interest and areas of great need. 

Be a donor!

As YWAM is a non-profit mission organization, we depend completely on offerings from churches, friends and others who want to invest in missionary work. If you would like to make a donation towards the CAR school, please get in touch:
