The Foundations for Intercultural Studies (FIS) school is a YWAM secondary school with the University of the Nations (UofN) designed to equip missionaries for sustainable long-term missions work. The school lasts for 6 months and is divided into two phases, the Training Phase and the Practical Phase. Our FIS at YWAM Provence has a particular focus on Islam and the Muslim World, but teaches valuable information that can be applied anywhere. Whether God is calling you to plant churches, engage in social justice, start businesses as mission (BAM), or bring holistic transformation to communities, the FIS equips you to think long-term. It helps you build a foundation for enduring impact, focusing on discipleship, leadership development, and local empowerment.
