is serious about God and their music. Those of us who are staffing and organizing this course
know by experience that serving God through music is an exciting adventure. Those who put
their whole hearts into it will never be disappointed.
Before you go through the application process, we ask that you would read the course description,
spend time in prayer asking God if you should apply, consult and pray with whomever you consider
your pastor or spiritual leader, and email or call us at YWAM Santa Fe if you have further
questions. This course may be a very important step for you in the development of your music

STEP 4:
DEMO (Musicians & Vocalists) – We need to have a general idea of you musical abilities and style preference. The MMDS uses contemporary pop styles primarily. We accept classical musicians who want to know more about using pop styles in worship and performance. We do not take beginners. This is for those who have some experience and are at least at an intermediate stage of development. Submit two – three songs that show your ability. If you play different instruments, include at least one song which demonstrates each instrument. We accept CDs, cassettes, or you may email an Mp3

In some cases, we can take a phone reference. We prefer to have a hard copy though. References cannot be from family members.
Here is who we need a reference from:
YWAMers - You will need to use Form 2- YWAM Leader (if you are YWAM staff or have done a YWAM school in the last 3 years). If you are not currently YWAM staff please use Form 1 – Pastoral Reference as well .
Give Form 2 to your YWAM base leader or someone in leadership over your area. Or… The school leader or a staff of the course you took. Giving Form 1 to your pastor or another church leader where you are living now is also helpful, but we need the YWAM reference first.
Non-YWAMer – You will need to use Form 1 – Pastoral Reference
Give Form 1 to a pastor, worship team leader, youth group leader or someone else in a leadership position in a local church or fellowship you have been part of in the last 3 years.

AGREEMENT FORM
Please read the statement below carefully. It is important that you understand and agree with all the statements before signing.
YOUTH WITH A MISSION - STATEMENT OF FAITH
Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is an international movement of Christians from many denominations dedicated to presenting Jesus personally to this generation, to mobilizing as many as possible to help in this task, and to the training and equipping of believers for their part in fulfilling the Great Commission. As citizens of God's kingdom, we are called to love, worship, and obey our Lord, to love and serve His Body, the Church, and to present the whole gospel for the whole person throughout the whole world.
We of Youth With A Mission believe that the Bible is God's inspired and authoritative word, revealing that Jesus Christ is God's son; that people are created in God's image; that He created us to have eternal life through Jesus Christ; that although all people have sinned and come short of God's glory, God has made salvation possible through the death on the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ; that repentance, faith, love and obedience are fitting responses to God's initiative of grace towards us; that God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth; and that the Holy Spirit's power is demonstrated in and through us for the accomplishment of Christ's last commandment, "...Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).
1. I have read the YWAM statement of faith and fully agree with all the has been declared in it.
2. I will not hold Youth With A Mission, Inc. its agents, employees and volunteer assistants liable for any injury, damage or loss. Which I or members of my family may be sustain during the course of involvement with the Music Ministry Development Seminar. I understand that YWAM does not provide medical insurance for me or my family during MMDS, but that I can request names of Insurance Companies who offer very reasonable rates for medical coverage which I can purchase.
3. I agree to abide by the moral guidelines and schedule of the program. If any difficulties arise that I do not agree with I purpose to go to the MMDS leaders to seek to resolve the issue. I realize that if I am not faithful to the biblical and practical guidelines given that I may be asked to leave the seminar. If I have paid my fees, I will receive a refund for the remaining portion of the seminar I will miss. (Minus $100 administration fee.)
4. If I am not a citizen or legal resident of the United States of America, I agree to leave the US upon the completion of the MMDS. I understand that I cannot stay in the US under the current visa. Any exceptions to this could only take place with the full agreement of the MMDS leadership and US Immigration authorities.
5. I am fully aware of my financial obligations to the Lord and to YWAM, and I agree to be responsible to see that my seminar fees and any other expenses incurred to YWAM or any organizations or businesses for the 9 week duration of the MMDS are paid on or before the designate dates due.(If you need clarification and due dates for fees, please contact our office)
6. In emergency situations where I am unable to make a decision on my own and the person I have indicated should be contacted in case of emergency cannot be reached or there is not time to reach them, I give permission to the MMDS leaders to make decisions as to treatment, anesthetics and operations deemed necessary by the opinion of the attending physicians.
