About - MOTE


Since the team of 60 students who pioneered the first MOTE experience in December 2007 to Botswana & Zambia, there has been no stop in the rapid expansion of the FTLT - MOTE movement.

To date we have seen more than 1200 people going through the MOTE experience...what a joy!

"It has been an eye opener to all of us involved as we are experiencing daily how the emerging generation is calling out for practical involvement..."

MOTE - Mission Outreach Training Exposure;

"It is platform for development, growth and spiritual formation. The level of hunger and willingness for change, have a direct influence on how a MOTE experience will impact you. Opportunities and exposure are created throughout your MOTE experience, the challenge is what you do with it..."

MOTE is exactly as its name implies. It is an outreach during which you will do evangelism, community projects, prayer walking etc. You receive training while on the field on why we do missions, how to be a missional leader, what is cross-cultural ministry, who we are in Christ, status on world evangelization, etc. Then you are exposed to what it is to live in a cross-cultural environment as you will meet, interact and stay with missionaries. No fuzz, just straight to the point; empowering you to be a living example of change...

During 2008 a partnership was formed between FTLT, Tuks Mission & Bulembu ministries which saw over 350 South African university students and professionals descend upon the community of Bulembu, Swaziland. During that time two orphan houses were renovated, 12 community buildings painted, the erecting of an 1.6km dairy fence and the preparation and painting of almost 420 community houses. It was a life-changing moment for all with the best to followed as students returned to their own areas of influence to start prayer groups at schools, initiate and mobilized others into local community projects etc. December 2009 saw another 220 students impacting the Bulembu community, and with Swazi 2010 now ahead of us, we can't wait to see what God will do...

We however do praise God for the opportunity we have to be part of this and request your prayer, support and personal involvement as MOTE continue to influence, challenge and empower an emerging generation towards change.

MOTE has three levels and each one is based on three building blocks; Outreach, Training, Exposure. Even though this form part of the main emphasis during their two week experience, the testimonies have showed that the outcome proof to be astonished:

"Today I discovered who I am in Christ..."

"God gave me such a passion for people..."

"How do we dare going home and live a life without noticeable change..."

"God is doing remarkable things around the world and it is a huge honor to know that He wants to use me to be His hands and feet..." etc.

With so much more to say I want to encourage you in supporting those who are going, but most of all challenge you to join us for an experience that will change your view on life forever...

Perseverance... Determination... Attitude... Excellence...

The words printed above are merely concepts...

You must go through the Experience...
