Since 1955, NTBI has existed to train the next generation of young people passionate about God’s glory and reaching the nations with the gospel of grace. God has used NTBI graduates to plant churches in countries all over the world. We believe in the fulfillment of the Great Commission. We also believe that the local church was to be the vehicle for its fulfillment.

It is our desire to partner with local churches that are challenging their people to actively get involved in God's global purposes. One of the ways we involve local churches is in our application process. We ask that prospective students have their pastor fill out a confidential reference form.

If you have been asked to do so and you have any questions regarding the application process, you may contact an admissions counselor during business hours by phone, email, or mail.

"New Tribes and Awana share a common heritage. Their roots run together all the way back to the days of Paul Rader and the Chicago Gospel Tabernacle. Paul Fleming and Lance Latham were products of this groundbreaking evangelist's ministry. Their vision to carry the gospel of Jesus Christ to the four corners of the earth continues unabated through New Tribes Bible Institute. NTBI thoroughly prepares students to go into the most remote byways found anywhere. It is vitally important work that will change untold numbers of lives for eternity. I thank God for their dedication to fulfilling the Great Commission."

"In a day and age when interest in cross cultural missions appears to be waning in the American church it is worth noting that New Tribes Bible Institute continues its historic commitment to laying the proper Biblical foundation for this next generation to prepare them for reaching the most unreached. The way they train their students is exemplary and I gladly endorse their godly activites."

"NTBI is awesome! Not only was I blown away by the quality of the staff and the intensity of the program, I was absolutely impressed with the sheer focus of the student body on fulfilling the Great Commission in this generation!"

" For decades, New Tribes Bible Institute has faithfully prepared servants of God for effective ministries all across the world. Many of their graduates serve with New Tribes Mission in tribal cultures. Many of their graduates serve in our local churches right here in the U.S. All of their graduates received the same kind of applied biblical education from an excellent faculty and staff thoroughly committed to global evangelization. I am eager to commend this outstanding school to all those who seek a place where life and learning meet in such a practical way, with effects that truly reach into eternity."

"For a solid grounding in God's Word and countless opportunities to put that knowledge into practice, I wholeheartedly endorse NTBI. The unique emphasis on missions - taking the Gospel to every tribe, tongue and nation - is passionate and purposeful. Expect to be equipped for life and ministry."
