During the Training Time you will also give and be evaluated on 4 practice teachings which will help prepare you for teaching on outreach.

Training Time:
Can I attend just the training time and not go on outreach?
Most likely, no. We really encourage everyone to complete the full 12-week program. The whole point of Titus is to take Bible training to the nations. We do firmly believe in the training time and we spend the first 3 weeks doing this to the best of our ability. However, training up teachers is the means to the goal, not the end goal itself. The outreach phase is where everything you learned in SBS becomes practical.
With that said, occasionally we will make an exception (for example: someone who is returning on SBS staff and does not have time to complete the full 12-week Titus before SBS staff training begins). If you truly are not able to take part in the outreach, you may inquire about the training time and we will consider your situation.

Why do you spend 3 weeks in training? Why not just send the teams straight out to teach?
Although the Titus Training time is brief, it does make a huge difference in the ability and effectiveness of the teacher. The training time is designed to specifically equip participants for what they will be teaching on outreach. In addition to learning how to prepare and present lectures, we believe that the training we offer on learning styles, reaching oral communicators, and ministering cross-culturally are invaluable to the effectiveness of the teams and the individual teachers.

Outreach:
Do I have a choice in which country I will go to on outreach?
We will prayerfully take your preference(s) into consideration when determining outreach teams and locations, but we can't guarantee that you will be able to go exactly where you want. In determining teams, we need to consider several factors such as team size, make up of teams (personality, gender, nationalities, etc.), visa requirements, staff availability, and prior commitments to other locations. We thank you in advance for your flexibility and willingness to be sent with whichever team your program leader feels is most suitable in light of all the given factors.

How big will my team be?
We try to keep teams small so that everyone has ample opportunity to teach. Small teams are also easier to host. We aim for each team to have 1 staff leader and 2-3 participants.

Can I do a longer outreach?
Yes. We frequently have staff or participants who stay beyond the 2 months of outreach. We are excited to see people who have a long-term vision for missions, and we PRAY that people will get a long term heart for the countries they go to and either stay or return long-term.
