BLS / BLSplus

Discover

The Basic Leadership School is for those who feel a calling in leadership and want to further develop this gift. The BLS is a inhouse training program wraped around a DTS. As YWAM Davos we highly value the individual and believe that God has create each one of us as a unique reflection of Him. We believe that to serve His Kingdom in a powerful way we first must understand our true identity as the King's son or daughter. BLS / BLSplus is a time to discover who you are and how God has gifted you. The BLS is a 8 month and the BLSplus is a 1 year program.

The BLS starts off with serving on a Discipleship Training School (DTS). This will give you a hands on extensive experience as you learn by doing. You will have the opportunity to lead out in areas such as hospitality, worship, intercession, local ministry, small groups and 1on1s. You will also have the opportunity to plan and lead an outreach. This is a stretching and challenging time, but also a very exciting time as, together we experience more of who God is.

Throughout the DTS you will discover many new things about yourself. What your strengths and weaknesses are, what your passions are, how you best relate to others and most importantly, how it is that God sees you. That is why we want to extend the BLS beyond the DTS time so that we can zone in on these things and dig deeper into them. How can they be further developed? How can you best use these gifts to serve in ministry? In what areas do you still want to grow in? These are just some of the questions we will be addressing more extensively. The three months following the DTS will be a time more focused on you, as together, we look to what God has been revealing to us and through mentoring, seminars, and assignments, we continue to grow as we continue to discover.
