Tentmaking
A personally tutored correspondence course offered by the Missionary Training Service

Connections - the Evangelical Missionary Alliance).
"Tentmaking" - working in a normal job alongside one's missionary work -
takes its name from the Apostle Paul's trade. Work of all types should bring glory to God,
extend His rule by helping bring order out of chaos, benefit other people and creation in general,
