• School of Biblical Studies (SBS) 2023 Application Form

    Our goal is to thoroughly immerse the student in the Word of God for nine months. This is done through a systematic study of each of the sixty-six books of the Bible. The end product is a Christian with a fairly in depth overview of the whole Bible. This would be a valuable course for any ministry that seeks to fulfil the Great Commission of discipling the nations. For more information on YWAM Arua's SBS, visit ywamarua.org/SBS
