HOW TO APPLY

The best member care support of you on the field would involve a cooperation of your church, your YWAM sending base and your field leadership. Ask your mission pastor for their spiritual input. Ask them if they would endorse your coming to the SoFM and subsequent field ministry. Ask them if they would spiritually support your ministry by praying for you and helping you find God's direction.
. Contact the YWAM Singapore SoFM School leader. Do this early. Email sofm@ywam.org.sg or phone call +65-6745-9700. Share your mission goals. Let us answer your questions. Let us share possible ways how the Singapore SoFM can serve you. Even if you don't attend any YWAM Singapore training we are glad to provide missions career counseling.

You may receive these forms in hardcopy format or softcopy (Word document) format by emailing either YWAM Singapore administration -- admin@ywam.org.sg -- or the SoFM school leadership - sofm@ywam.org.sg. Foreign applicants must also complete application for a student visa. If you need to apply for a student visa and do not already have the necessary documents and instructions, then you may email YWAM Singapore's Registrar - registrar@ywam.org.sg -- or the SoFM school leadership - sofm@ywam.org.sg.
