The School of Jewish Studies
About the school
The purpose of the School of Jewish Studies is for equipping YWAMers with tools for relevant ministry among the Jewish people both in Israel and around the world. We also have a passion to have God’s heart for all the Peoples of the Middle East and seek to teach YWAMers how to have a “two eyed vision” (His eyes and heart for all peoples in the Middle East).
Our aim and passion is to raise up long-term workers to go equipped and energised with a passion to serve in the Middle East or to serve with the Jewish World in the nations.
New Zealand, where the school is held, is unique in its opportunities to reach out to young Israeli’s with the Good News of Yeshua their Messiah. Many young Israeli’s travel here after their military service to backpack around New Zealand. We have a unique open door to share with them. Our lecture phase will equip and energize you to reach out to these young Israeli’s during your outreach.
Would you join us, and be equipped, discipled, and set on fire for the Jewish World and the Middle East?
