Is God calling you to train in Education? Would you like to spend a year in Malawi, complete a DTS, Foundations in Education and have practical experience with educational outreach opportunities? Join us in September 2024! Email education@ywamblantyre.com for more information!!!!

At YWAM Blantyre, we believe that education is a major priority and that God desires children to have the opportunity to grow and learn. In Proverbs, it tells us to train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart far from it. Parenting plays the biggest part in helping children become men and women of God but it is the job of schools and educational establishments to support parents in this role and empower children to grow in their knowledge and understanding. God wants children to become who He has created them to be!

We believe God is calling many people from around the world to be part of the education work here! The harvest is vast and ripe but we need workers! So what could you be part of?

UofN Schools – Education Degrees and Courses

Discipleship Training School

As part of our DTS programmes, we offer an education track. Do you believe God is calling you to work with children, in schools or churches? This is a great opportunities to grow in your relationship with God during a DTS and have a small focus on education to see if God is really calling you in that direction. The DTS with education track is the best route into the Foundations in Education second level school that we also offer at YWAM Blantyre.

Foundations in Education

Following our DTS, we offer a three-month Foundations in Education School. This school gives you a Biblical worldview of education, helps you gain God’s heart and is a compulsory unit if you wish to gain an associates or bachelors degree in Education with the University of the Nations. The course is very practical and interactive, going deep into topics related to Christian Education and will prepare you to serve children, young people, youth and those who work in the education sphere.

Foundations in Education Outreach

If you have completed a Foundations in Education, you have the option to do an FIE outreach within two years of your FIE module. If you would like to come to Malawi to complete your outreach, get in contact with us! We would love to welcome you to the Warm Heart of Africa.

Christian Schools

Thanthwe 2 Christian Mission Public School

In 2018, we opened the doors of Thanthwe 2 Christian Primary School in Chiwaya Village, about 3.5km from the YWAM Base. The school serves the community where over 3000 people live and there are currently over 600 students at the school. This is a YWAM/Government partnership and therefore the school is built on YWAM Land but the government sends the teachers. YWAM influences the school directly and indirectly through the management teams, ministries on the school campus and training for teachers and students.

YWAM 2 Seeds

Another Christian school is situated deep in a rural community 15km in the hills surrounding Blantyre. Pioneered by a team from YWAM 2 Seeds, the school is gradually growing towards becoming a full-fledged primary school. They currently have reception and Year 1 in operation.

Teacher Training Programmes

Would you like to help us grow a Biblical worldview in Education? We run a number of professional development courses for teachers to help them gain a Biblical worldview and help teachers see their role as a vocation. We believe work is worship! The Educating for Life programmes, trainers, teachers, leaders and literacy, all focus on seeing transformation in Education through a growing understanding of how we partner and co-create with God. Mixing biblical truth with dynamic teaching methods, education. knowledge and skills, we aim to see schools transformed into places where young people truly meet with God, know Him and reach their full potential.

Digital Curriculum Development

We are currently developing a digital app that provides teachers and students access to the Malawi curriculum. Lack of access to quality education is a justice issue that breaks God’s heart. We aim to offer the full curriculum developed by Malawian teachers for Malawian teachers along with in-app professional development to help develop the educational leaders in the nation of Malawi. Do you have digital skills? Come and join us! Help us facilitate learning!
