LETTING THE LIVING, BREATHING POWER OF THE WORD TRANSFORM OUR EVERYDAY LIVES.

The Word.

Whether you desire to be a missionary, pastor, business owner, parent, or friend, having a deep understanding of Scripture and a firm Biblical foundation are an undeniably important aspect of what it means to be a follower of Christ. Knowledge of the Word and the foundation that it brings will not only radically change your life, but also equip you with the means to more effectively share the Gospel with others!

Our SBS at YWAM Osaka is a Japanese/English bilingual 10-month immersive course within YWAM. It is designed to teach the students how to study the 66 books of the Bible through an inductive approach - to observe what the text says in the correct context, interpret and then make it applicable today. Students will not only be able to read a book and discover the big picture, but also be able to examine the finer details within each paragraph and verse.

In this SBS we will study the Bible chronologically, from Genesis to Revelation, and discover how the biblical books form one connected story. Throughout the SBS, students will live in community with those who have the same passion for unlocking the beautiful mysteries of the Word. Staff are on hand to assist in the growth of the students - their understanding of the Word, how the inductive method is being used to further that understanding, and how that new understanding can be practically applied to their everyday lives.
