@My Dreams that is a link to YWAM and the web site does not tell me where this program will take place. Is the program to be run in India or at the USA Yosemite campus for YWAM?
Do you have the pre-requisites to be able to attend the course?

Yes, I agree with you, that this course study and experience would be good for you. Is this course being run in India on one of their campuses there, as well, that you could attend.
Your costs, do they include food and accommodation? How will you support your family back in your village, while away for this course?
Are you tagging this course onto the other trip you are intending to take to America?
I know how much it costs for a person in your situation to go abroad to "study." I have sponsored a number of people to travel overseas to study. My experience is that unless they also personally contribute to the costs of their study, their commitment to the study program is often not what is required of them.
I support a ministry in Nepal, and I only pray for that ministry when God prompts me to pray and tells me what to pray for. I also support that ministry financially as well, but only after being prompted by the Lord to do so. I also know of the personal cost for the people involved in ministry in the Indian sub-continent and the persecution that they experience from the general population that live around them.
If you lay out before God your needs and trust Him to provide for you, then God will provide for you.
For me, on this forum, your stories of your highs and your lows of your ministry efforts in your village will provide the input from others that you need, whether financially or spiritually. For financial support, there needs to be a mechanism in place where their gifts can be sent directly to you. The downside of this financial support for ministry, is that it can corrupt you and cause you to become a thief when there is too much week left when the money runs out for your family needs and you take from the ministry support. If gifts are made for you personally, then you will be blessed, but the congregation that you have also need to be taught to trust God that He can help them to meet all of their needs with the 90% that they retain for themselves after tithing.
- Tell us your heart's desires to bless the people who live around you so that they are draw to the Lord and how you intend to reach these people.
- Tell us the story of your actions taken to achieve your hearts desires for the people who live around you. Just telling us that you have handed out x number of bibles, does not tell us the outcomes that have come about, because you have handed out these x bibles. The stories of the people who have received these bibles, coming to Christ is just as important for us to hear.
- Tells us the results of your ministry among the people who live around you, your successes and your failures, and the lessons learned by you along this journey of you ministering to the people who live around you.
You may see a very different result on this forum if you do.

@My Dreams, thank you for your expanded post. It will help others to be better informed about you. Keep telling this forum your story as you are ministering to those with whom you are rubbing shoulders with on a daily basis.
Shalom
