Go. Live. Serve.
Merge your education, career, and ministry.
Go short-term. Go long-term. Just go.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
Tent-making
Tentmakers are ambassadors for Christ, self-supporting like the apostle Paul, who made tents for a living. Tentmaking provides both work and ministry platforms. By doing a good job, tentmakers contribute to society and demonstrate how Christian values are lived out in the real world. By reaching out to their colleagues, they have natural connections with local people, who are part of their everyday lives. Professions can provide good entry points to places that do not welcome traditional missionaries. Learn more.
Why go with a sending agency?
Tentmaking is challenging. As a missions-minded professional, you are called to do your work well and minister to other people, while adjusting to life in a foreign culture. The support of a like-minded community that understands the demands of your bi-vocational calling helps you to stay on course. Joining an agency offers you career counseling, pre-departure orientation, local support and accountability, on-going professional networking, pastoral care and mentoring through retreats, personal visits, prayer and regular email communications.
