“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ…”
Ephesians 4:11-13 (NIV)

Lecture Module

5-week intensive to learn about servant leadership and live it.

The ultimate goal of MLD lectures is for students to catch the heart behind the Biblical model of servant leadership. Lectures are designed to instill an understanding of leadership character. This will be a guide for you as you begin to grow in your leadership capacity.

As our speakers pour into you, you will be equipped with the practical skills that you will need as an effective leader and discipler. Our speakers come from a range of nations, ministries and backgrounds, each one bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise which will enrich your personal leadership development and vision.

  • Create a foundation of biblical leadership
  • Gain insight into discipling others
  • Discover and develop strengths and talents
  • Be inspired and equipped to raise financial support
  • Learn principles to effective public speaking
  • Experience the process of leading an event
  • Receive the tools it takes to practically lead a team 

MINISTRY INVOLVEMENT

19 weeks to put what you have learned into practice.

After you’ve been equipped through the 5 week lecture intensive module, you will be plugged into a certain area of the campus where you can practically apply what you have learned! Where you will be placed will be determined by your passions, giftings, and areas where help is needed. This is a unique and safe time to really use the tools and experience what it means to walk in servant leadership. There also will be ongoing input as you output with one lecture each week according to the given topic. In this 5 month time, you will be able to learn by doing and grow in your leadership and capacity to serve!

Field Assignment

Where your strengths meet the open doors of ministry.

If you are still looking for more opportunities to serve and further be involved in a leadership role, we offer a 6 month field assignment term. You will be given a placement in one of the ministries here at YWAM Lausanne to further develop your skills and step out more in your giftings. This is a time where your strengths meet the open doors of ministry. You will still complete assignments and your class will have times of processing as well as championing one another. During the time of your field assignment, you will have the opportunity to experience a different area of ministry than your time in your Ministry Involvement, or continue to establish yourself in the ministry you were previously assigned. Good things take time, and investing time into a certain ministry allows you to really develop and strengthen your skills.
