Would you be willing to use your professional skills to reach the nations with the Gospel? Then the GO Equipped TENTmaking & Business as mission course is perfect for you. At this course you´ll be introduced to insights and ministry skills you´ll need to know if you want to have the combined joy of using your profession and bringing the good news about Jesus to new places. You will not be asked to leave your profession - just to move your skills to another part of the world. Most of the teaching is applicable even if you choose to live and work in your own culture.
The vast majority of the least reached people groups in the world live within nations that do not issue visas for missionaries. But Christian professionals are welcome everywhere. At the same time as they are fulfilling God´s desire to build the nations (Isa 58), they are also ambassadors for His kingdom, leading people to reconciliation and eternal life (2 Cor 5).
Global Opportunities and Tent have developed this course together. These two resource centres for tentmaking have through the years been helping several hundred tentmakers in their ministry. Currently they are running annual tentmaking courses in five nations.
