Our
Initiatives
We train and activate Kingdom entrepreneurs through events, programs, and hands-on learning environments. Each initiative helps leaders grow in practical business skills, spiritual grounding, and authentic community. Our mission is to equip entrepreneurs who build entrepreneurial ventures that reflect the heart of Jesus.
Kingdom Impact Hackathon
Building ventures that serve people, glorify God, and transform society
Kingdom Impact Hackathon is an intensive 48-hour innovation sprint where teams collaborate to solve real-world challenges through Kingdom-minded business ideas. Participants rapidly prototype solutions, pitch to judges, and compete for the chance to further develop their concepts as viable BAM initiatives.
School of Business and Entrepreneurship (SOBE)
The SOBE is a 12-week YWAM school with in-depth training that shifts students understanding of business, while providing a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals needed for a successful Business as Mission venture.
The school can be taken online or in a classroom cohort, with the core instruction taking place through over 525 short videos divided into almost as many learning segments. Students are presented with regular questions and exercises that promote learning and application to each concept taught. Live staff one-on-ones, coaching sessions and weekly school processing times supplement the instruction. Pre-recording the curriculum and delivering it online results in every student, regardless of location and financial resources, receiving the same quality instructions.
It provides comprehensive training in core business disciplines—from marketing, product development, and finance to operations, HR, and brand management—taught through both biblical and practical lenses. Students also explore Business as Mission, apostolic entrepreneurship, and weekly real-world case studies that integrate faith and business.
The SOBE is planned to run as a cohort in September 2026 at YWAM Amsterdam. More details will be released soon — stay tuned for updates on registration, schedule, and program information.
BAM Young Gathering
BAM Young Gathering is quarterly evening gathering designed to inspire the next generation of Kingdom entrepreneurs through worship, teaching, and real stories of biblically-aligned business. These events create a space for young entrepreneurs to connect, learn, and grow together as they pursue their entrepreneurial callings.
Kingdom Venture Lab
Kingdom Venture Lab is a six-week, hands-on startup experience where students learn business principles by actively building and pitching real ventures. The strongest ideas advance through each stage, with the potential to launch as Kingdom businesses in the city.
The first Kingdom Venture Accelerator will begin in April 2027.
