Creative Arts & Media for Unreached Children
We run the CBU online training every other year.
In this course, you will learn how to write and/or illustrate high-quality, biblically-based, picture storybooks in a way that makes the Gospel of Jesus relevant and familiar to children in their own culture.
This course is focused on producing illustrated storybooks for children among the unreached people groups of the world.
CBU is part of the University of the Nations (YWAM) and is worth 5 credits towards a UofN degree. YWAM membership is not required to enrol in CBU.
Our next CBU-online will begin in 2026
