VISION

Be trained and equipped in basic midwifery skills. Discover God's passion and broken heart for those who are oppressed, specifically in developing nations. As you assist in delivering babies, you will intercede for them through prayer, worship, and proclaiming truth. Be challenged in your relationship with God, find your purpose in the Great Commission, and embark with us on the adventure!

ABOUT

The next school will run from the 6^th of July, 2008 to the 6^th of June, 2009 and each year from early July to June.

Almost 600,000 women die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth each year - 98% are living in developing nations.

The Birth Attendant School is offered as a single combined course of 48 weeks. The course begins with a twelve week lecture phase completed at the YWAM Perth base, followed by a further twelve week lecture phase and two twelve week field assignments in one or more developing nations - a total of 11 months training and practical hands-on learning.

The school aims to focus on Muslim women and their families, providing training in all aspects of midwifery in developing nations.

Pregnancy is a happy time, but for most in the developing world it is life threatening.

Major topics include:
Antenatal care, nutrition, newborn care, labour and delivery, postnatal care, the child up to two years of age, teaching and training, spiritual dynamics to birth, team dynamics, primary health care and community development. God's heart for women and womens health issues.

The vision of the school is to establish mother and child health clinics in developing nations and to teach and train women in mother and child health.


After completing the BAS you could join us in training indigenous women from the developing world, in mother and child health care...100 clinics (information found under ministries).

The current number of babies delivered since 1997 by the Birth Attendant School is 2,306
