The application should only be e-mailed to our office if the elder does not submit a recommendation online. Our e-mail is [email protected].

Attire: In order to maintain the uplifted atmosphere in the Training, we suggest that clothing be similar to that worn by the FTTA trainees. Brothers should wear button-down shirts with a collar, a tie, and conservative pants. Sisters should wear modest shirts with sleeves and conservative skirts (extending at least 3 inches below the knee when sitting). Modest pants may be permitted for certain gospel activities on college campuses. Closed-toe shoes are also encouraged. The trainees should bring their Bible, hymnbook, and a notepad.

Many full-time trainees received their burden to be trained by coming short-term. May the Lord use this opportunity for His good pleasure.
