Restoring and equipping families for the Great Commission
…a hub to the nations…

Mission Statement: Restoring and equipping families for the Great Commission
Head of Department: Zulu Langson & Mary Zulu
History
The Family Ministries School began in 2013. One of its leaders Zulu Langson was involved in a torch run (intercession as one runs with a torch) where he was in charge of praying for the family unit. It is here that his passion for families began to grow. He attended a conference in Nairobi for family ministries where he was even more inspired. In 2003, he attended a family ministries school in Uganda. He was asked to stay on as staff the following year (2004). In 2005, he joined YWAM Arusha. He got involved in the School of Biblical Studies (SBS) here as well as held seminars until 2013 when he and Mary began the first family ministries school. Since then, there have been 3 family ministries schools at YWAM Arusha; one in 2013, one in 2015, one in 2017.
In 2018, there has been a Family Ministries School in Kenya at the YWAM Athi River base.
