What you must read before you come
In addition to getting a mandatory college or university degree, it is strongly suggested that you must have, at a minumum, read through the following books before you can enroll in the FTTMY:

1.	The entire Bible once (the Old and New Testament Recovery Version, preferably more than once)
2.	The All-Inclusive Christ—Witness Lee
3.	The Economy of God—Witness Lee
4.	Young People's Training—Witness Lee
5.	Basic Lessons of Life—Witness Lee
6.	A Young Man in God's Plan—Witness Lee
7.	A Brief Presentation of the Lord's Recovery—Witness Lee
8.	The Basic Revelation in the Holy Scriptures—Witness Lee
9.	Character—Witness Lee
10.	The Glorious Church—Watchman Nee

Reading the Bible will ensure that you have a general idea of the contents of the Scriptures. The ministry books, on the other hand, will provide you with some basic spiritual knowledge of the crucial items items in the recovery. It may seem like a lot of work, but with a little scheduling you can easily finish reading all of them in a few years. In fact, we encourage the serving ones in the campus work in the churches to devise a four-year plan to help our young people read through the Bible and these spiritual publications. Furthermore, we cannot encourage you strongly enough to participate in all the seven annual international conferences and trainings in the Lord's recovery today (either live or by video). This will develop in you a healthy appetite for the ministry through which the divine revelation from the interpreted word comes. Those who plan to come to the training should try to read as much of the Bible (at least finish the New Testament, certainly) and the various titles from this book list as possible. Thereafter, reading from the entire list will be a prerequisite for all FTTMY applicants.

Financial considerations.
If possible, you should save up some money so that you can support yourself, in however small a way, while in the training. The two-year training will cost you around RM15,000 in room and board, including expenses for the gospel work, oversea and local blending, and churching during the two years of training, but excluding personal expenses. Although your sending church or parents may be willing to help you financially, your own putting aside something over the years (this is especially for those who have time to prepare for this, e.g. even in your secondary school years) with the full-time training in view is a strong indication of a serious attitude and commitment on your part. Also, you should try your best not to incur unnecessary debts from student loans or accept scholarships that bind you for many years (unless you really have no other alternative to finance your studies). As a young person, you should cultivate proper spending habits. You should learn to live within your means, neither borrowing nor squandering away your money but laying it aside for a heavenly and divine purpose. We even propose that you start a savings account dedicated for your expense needs in the FTTMY. In any case, try not to be entangled or encumbered by the affairs of this life so you can please the Lord who enlisted you in His army (2 Tim. 2:4).

A foretaste of the training.
The FTTMY may be open for certain period of time for short-term enrollment to university, college and upper secondary school students while it is in session. For example, you are welcome to participate as a short-term trainee during your school breaks. This short foretaste may help you to become more determined to enter the 2 year full-time training after you graduate from college. Moreover, fellowship often with the full-timers and trainees from your locality to stay informed about the training. Join them in their labors and get a taste of what full-time training life is like.

A heart to serve the Lord full-time
Some of you may have been touched by the Lord from time to time to consider serving Him as a full-timer for the rest of your life. While such a desire is not a requirement for attending the FTTMY and must be subject to the test of time, environment, and the Body, we do encourage you to water that seed within you. The burden of the training is also to produce a good number of young people who will present their whole life to the work of recovery, to spread His testimony throughout the earth for the consummation of this age.
