MTD stands for Mission Training and Discipleship. It is a program in FECA that is often headed by the National Outreach Coordinator. He or she has other functions which you can read here. 

Since the last quarter of 2021, FECAites have been looking into so many things, but one of them is very loud: The Spirit of FECA. This is a program that the National Outreach Coordinator and the National President of FECA do handle; but the National Outreach is key. In this training. FECAites are taught principles of life that are meant to increase their leadership capacity, knowledge-base about people, self-discovery and growth, and knowledge about God. This program usually takes two to three days to complete because of the robust curriculum and practical exercises that are involved. In this program, for instance, the one held in Enugu Zone (which saw the presence of the National President, Mr. Edem Samuel and National Outreach Coordinator, Mr. Michael Bassey). In that MTD in Enugu Zone, Mr. Bassey treated the topic on Leadership Qualities, while the national President treated the topic: The Spirit of FECA.
