Develop your potential and the ability to stimulate the growth of those you lead
Six intensive weeks of input and class discussion with a variety of teaching styles to help you learn and assimilate the teaching.
The LDC is an interactive learning experience, with a focus on mentoring and leading people, giving adequate time to process together and on your own. Our key value of shared leadership is modeled throughout the course, together with other types of mentoring and practical application in small groups.
Our aim is for you to discover how God has formed you as a leader and how he wants to develop you in the future. This understanding will give you the keys you need to develop and mentor others.

Why attend an LDC?
Don’t miss this training sabbatical!
When was the last time you were a student in a YWAM training school? Make this the year you set aside time to receive some leadership input and enjoy six inspiring weeks interacting with other leaders.
It is a unique opportunity to:
- Set aside time to focus on God away from your current responsibilities
- Gain greater clarity about your gifting and calling
- Understand your phase of growth as a leader
- Acquire specific skills in leadership and mentoring
- Learn team leadership and participatory leadership as they are modeled by the staff
Is the LDC for you?
Are you moving through transitions without difficulty? Are you understanding keys to deal with plateauing in your life? Are you clear about your future ministry? Does your leadership have an emphasis on developing people? Are you investing in potential leaders on your base or team? Do you function with shared leadership and understand the convener model of YWAM International? Are you working on a plan to finish well?
If you answered “No” to any of these questions, then you probably qualify!
The LDC has been designed for base, national or ministry leadership team members, or people with similar experience in leadership. We are generally looking for those who have had five years of leadership experience.
The aim is to create an atmosphere where YWAM leaders can understand the ways of God in their own development to help them develop, motivate and release others in leadership.
love and lead like Jesus.
