Neighborhood Bible Time is an exciting program for young men preparing for the ministry. The Evangelists are key to that excitement. NBT recruits young men from various fundamental Bible Colleges in the United States. They come to our Illinois headquarters for training that is three weeks of very intense preparation.

Not only do the Evangelists receive classroom instruction, but practical hands-on experience as well. They are involved in two practice rallies during training which are conducted in Illinois.

After training, the young men are placed on teams of two and sent on circuits to the churches. The first circuits go for four weeks and then they return to Illinois for R&R during the week of 4th of July. After this week of training and activities, the men leave to finish their summer circuits. Some of the men will be in ten different churches during the summer. The Evangelists bring lots of enthusiasm to each church. The young people love the Evangelists and a spirit of revival is generated in the church and community. Hundreds hear the Gospel presented clearly as the Evangelists preach, tell stories, and do Gospel tricks. Many of the young people make decisions to be saved during the Bible Time Crusade. The teaching stresses consecration and dedication for the Christian young people.

Many of the Evangelists return to travel a second and third year. Some say the reason they return is because they see so many young people saved. They also are able to influence so many young lives spiritually.

The young men come to NBT on faith. The salary they receive is not enough to pay for a year's tuition so they must trust the Lord to provide their needs. Some of the Evangelists raise financial support through a Summer Missionary Support Team Program. We appreciate the character these men exhibit as they train, travel and represent Bible Time and the Lord.
