Neighborhood Bible Time

[redhot]

Did any of the guys on here who attended Fundy U work during the summer as NBT Evangelists? They came to our church one summer, and several guys in my college traveled with them each year. During breaks at work they would practice the Booster Cheer.
Obviously this girl did not get saved during Bible Time at her church, since she is wearing shorts and the Tinker Bell on her shirt is dreadfully out of dress code.

I did NBT for a few years as a kid. oooh the memories.

My husband remembers going to one as a kid. I think I took my kids to one several years ago. It was very small - maybe 6-8 kids - and held in someone's yard.

I have some friends from Fundy U who were evangelists in NBT. Practically all of them my age would not associate with NBT these days but most of them do appreciate the experience they had with working with kids. I do know "Boss" Homsher (don't know if he is still around) used a lot of intimidation tactics with those he thought might be good candidates and that he applied his Keswick theology in interesting ways, like telling his evangelists during training to get alone with God in the woods and not to come out until they hear from Him.

When I was a student at TTU, I helped one of the chapel churches with an NBT crusade and had a lot of fun. I wouldn't do it now--there's a church in town that does NBT--but fundy-me thought it was great.

We called them "Bible Clubs", synchronized them with a VBS at an IFB church that same week, and had a big finale at the end for both.

This is the org that we used to work under while doing them: SMITE Camp

In a week every summer, we'd do around 300 clubs! (Ya know how Fundies like numbers!)

I can't believe how many years I wasted my entire summers doing those.

They would come to MBBC in WI each year in chapel and speak for recruiting purposes.
