From the first Discipleship Training School (DTS) pioneered in Sept. of 1978, we have seen remarkable growth, development of ministries, and many voluntary full-time workers who have been trained, equipped, and sent out. We have sent out teams to over sixty countries, resulting in over twenty new ministries being pioneered world-wide. From its very beginning, God has called YWAM Salem to be a training and sending base, which continues to be what we do best. We have about 80 full-time staff and 5 volunteers at any given time. Our desire as a base is to see, not just a "select few" involved in missions, but a vast array of people. At present, YWAM Salem operates three Discipleship Training Schools throughout the year! We also offer specified training schools: Foundations for Counseling Ministry (FCM), the Chronological Bible Core Course (CBCC) and more!
