Tentmaking ministry goes back a few years…2000+ years actually, back to the time of the apostle Paul who funded his gospel ministry through manual labor rather than burden those to whom he was ministering.

This 15 minute video shares an overview of what tentmaking is, some difficulties tentmakers face, and how churches can equip believers for effective, God-honoring tentmaking ministry.

Some additional items addressed in the video include: the importance actively making disciples, teamwork, financial and prayer support, identity (to yourself and to others), time management, expectations, and means of evangelizing.

Though dated (1995) and a bit fuzzy in picture quality, this video paints a helpful picture of what tentmakers do and how churches can best support them.
