Four days of intensive, high quality training for people interested in tentmaking. The course is designed both for those who are planning on going as tentmakers and for those who are considering tentmaking. It will enable you to understand tentmaking and help equip you to be an effective tentmaker. 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
  • Inductive Bible Study
    learn to feed yourself and others even in Timbuktu
  • Bonding with the people
    learn to enjoy and thrive in a new culture
  • 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
  • Business as Mission
    you need to include a ministry component to your business plan
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 & Course CD

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 at the end of the course.

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

Do you enjoy seeing new things in Scripture?

Besides quality training in tentmaking, you will experience some powerful times in Bible study to undergird what we are learning.

What we do not offer:

We can not provide letters of invitation for visa applications to out of country applicants to our courses.
