About NTE

Haven’t been to the National Training Event (NTE) before? Wondering what we do in those 5 days at the conference ? Here are a just a few things we get up to each year…

Sessions

Each day, we’ll have all-in sessions, spending time together worshipping in song, hearing from students and ministries across Australia and the world and learning from God’s word.

Since the decades we have ran NTE, we have invited many gospel speakers from around the world and from home to speak at our main sessions. Last year, Phillip Jensen and Richard Chin spoke on the theme of “The Christ we Proclaim”, diving deep into who really is this Christ that the gospel centres on. Stay tuned for this year speakers.

Strands

These are the bread and butter of our time at NTE! Spanning most of the day, you will be grouped up with other students at a similar stage to learn how to read God’s word and how to teach God’s word.

Strand groups are broken up as follows:

Electives

Electives allow you to learn and explore more about topics within local and global mission. With a choice to choose from, you get to hear from missionaries, ministry workers and organisations who have a rich repertoire and experience in different areas of mission. Electives help set our eyes towards living out and sharing the gospel on campus, as well as shaping a mission mindset beyond university.

Act Now

While we serve faithfully on campus, we also have the opportunity to serve alongside our global mission partners. Each year, we seek to support them: through prayer, financial giving and forms of encouragement.

At NTE we have an Act Now space to learn more and support the various projects we have going on with our global mission partners. Act Now helps set our eyes to God’s wider mission for all nations to know His name and began the practical step towards global mission.

Expo and Bookstore

There is the expo space that gives you the opportunity to meet workers from other ministries: Theological Colleges, Bible Translators, Missionary Organisations and more! See how God could be using you in these spaces.

In the same space is the bookstore! There will be plenty of books for you to consider reading that may be beneficial for your growth in reading and teaching God’s word.
