Four days of intensive, high quality training for people interested in tentmaking business as mission. The course is designed for those planning to go as tentmakers, business people and those considering it in the future. The curriculum covers biblical foundations, challenges, opportunities, teams, a personal plan and practical issues.

You will receive training in these vital areas:
 

  • Importance of tentmaking today
    the other track in missions & why it is needed
  • Biblical basis of tentmaking
    it was good enough for Paul but is it relevant today?
  • Culture shock & how to deal with it
    knowing it exists helps you to deal with it
  • The international job market
    finding a job opening is the easy part, but there is a process
  • Effective, sensitive evangelism
    stop hunting and start fishing!
  • Leading investigative Bible studies
    helping seekers find answers
  • Discipling future leaders
    learn how to make disciples, not converts
  • House church planting
    the goal of tentmaking is to plant self reproducing churches
  • Home church relationship
    a vital part of your overseas ministry
  • Healthy team relationships
    being on a team can be a blessing or not
  • Preparing for effectiveness
    impacting people everyday is not an elusive goal
  • Practical issues
    juggling everyday life with ministry goals - finding balance
  • Mission Agencies & Tentmakers
    major mission agencies are making this course a prerequisite for their tentmaker candidates. You will learn how they work together.
  • Working in sensitive areas
    be wise as serpents and harmless as doves
  • Business as Mission
    you need to integrate a ministry in your business plan
  • Alpha Course as a tool for tentmakers
    you will see and learn about the different versions of the Alpha program

You will hear stories from experienced tentmakers - how they did it and the challenges they faced. Our time together will be built around plenary teaching, discussion, tentmaker stories, small group interaction, and prayer. We will be led by people with a great deal to offer in each of these areas.

 

Course materials - Course Handbook & CD or USB

You will receive a course handbook that has been updated and printed just in time for the course, with all sessions presentation notes, articles that complement the sessions and further resources. As this is an intensive course and we do not have the time to cover important issues as well as we would like, you will be receiving a course CD or USB at the end of the course for further study.

This Course CD/USB has all the presentations, more than 200 relevant articles to expand on what you have learned, video clips, tools for presenting tentmaking in your small group or church and much more. Note that this CD/USB is only available to those who attend our courses and is not for distribution elsewhere.


Do you enjoy seeing new things in Scripture?

At our US based courses, you will also receive teaching on how to do IBS.

Besides quality training in tentmaking, you will experience some powerful times in Bible study to undergird what we are learning. A tentmaker often ends up serving in places where they have to know how to feed themselves and to teach others as well.

Dave English of Global Opportunities, will be teaching Inductive Bible Study to help you get more out of your time with Scripture.
