School of Missions and Evangelism

SOME is a 3 fold focussed training school emphasizing missions, evangelism, and leadership. The Lecture Phase is 11 weeks long and takes place in Cascade Idaho. Lecture phase is followed by an 8 week outreach where students get to put into practice the things that they have learned. Because of our location, you will be able to engage in winter-sport activities all while proclaiming the name of Jesus. As a student here you will be able to invest into the local community of Cascade and the surrounding region.  At YWAM Idaho we are called to the unreached. This means your outreach will be to the 10/40 window; where the message of Jesus is unknown. Are you called to full-time missions? Do you want to be trained in evangelism? Have you ever wondered what your role in God’s plan for the world is? Come do the SOME, this is what we do!

What is SOME?


Dates: January 18th-June 5

Cost: $8,000-9,000

“Let us help you discover your role in God’s great mission of reaching the lost with the Good News. What are the visions and dreams and purposes of God for your life? Who are the people you have a burden to reach? Join us and learn how to bring the message of the gospel to the lost and broken, to different opinions, worldviews, cultures, and languages. From the homeless and hopeless, to the wealthy and prestigious, from the slums to the university campuses. From across the street, to across the world, you will learn how to bring the message of hope to those in darkness.

Your DTS taught you to know God. The SOME teaches you how to make God known.  The School of Missions and Evangelism is designed to help you identify and activate your gifts, strengths, and talents, and pursue your specific calling in bringing the knowledge of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth. The SOME will give you the tools you need in fulfilling the Great Commission.”
