Bevin Ginder wrote me the following after I wrote about using food from other regions to mobilize Millennials, and J. D. Payne followed up on this with a post focused on Cooking as Mission. Bevin, who is with YWAM Strategic Frontiers, told me about The Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management School to teach people how to, essentially, run a restaurant (obviously, in another culture) as a way to bless nations. Here’s what she says:
(CARMs) is a 9 month course that will prepare you to work in an existing restaurant, or to start a kingdom-focused business on the field. Taught by professional chefs, business and missions practioners, CARMs covers both basic cooking skills as well as more complex menu items. Restaurant management and business principles are an integral part of course content.Our campus, previously the Hilton Hotel of Colorado Springs, is uniquely equipped with a full restaurant and coffee / tea bar including a professional kitchen and short order kitchen. Students will have access to complete dining, event and catering equipment and facilities.
