Missionary Training Centre (MTC)

Get the training you need to become a missionary.
Right now, more than 100 people groups are asking New Tribes Mission to send people to share the Gospel with them. Many have been waiting for years. Is that a need you want to help meet? The Missionary Training Centre course will prepare you.
You'll be equipped for global relevance in life and ministry as a cross-cultural church planter or in a role supporting church planting. The instructors at the Missionary Training Centre have many years of on-field experience and are passionate about teaching you field-proven methods that are constantly updated to remain effective and relevant. They want you to be a more effective servant of Christ’s Church.
And since biblical ministry is about relationships and making disciples, they'll model that, pouring their lives into yours. You'll get opportunities to practice it yourself in teaching opportunities, small group interaction, team projects and ministry outreaches, so you are ready to share not just life, but abundant life.
Training provides spiritual foundation and tools
The folks who are part of the church-planting team tell you much they value the foundation for ministry they received at New Tribes Bible Institute, and the practical instruction from missionary training.
