Description The School of Cartooning and Animation for Missions is a six-month, second-level YWAM school, devoted to training students in using cartoons, comic books, anime, and animated media to communicate the Gospel in culturally relevant ways. In many cultures, people prefer to receive information through pictures. Cartoons and animation can be powerful tools, especially in Asia where people line up to buy comic books. Cartoons have a special way of opening doors that would otherwise be closed.
