So TentMakers; as you look for income generating activities to support you and your family's needs so that you can continue in ministry, many of you will find that being an entrepreneur is easier than punching a clock somewhere, with the potential for unlimited reward. So this issue of TentMaker is an example of what I mean by 'fishing for prospects'.
These men are burning the candle at both ends, so to speak, as they try to visit the sick in hospitals, prepare for and speak to congregations, manage the administration of the ministry and still bring home the 'bacon' for their families. So while women tentmakers may very well find value in this publication, and I am a woman writing this piece, I am writing with a predominantly male audience in mind. Identify the audience you intend to serve, and speak their language. Tweak as you go, measure your results.
You see, my father and brother live in this space right now. I have many brothers in Christ in this space right now. My husband lost his job once, having taken vacation time to go on a mission trip to build houses for the poor in Puerto Rico.
The TentMaker's challenge is real and I encourage you to invest in an online, automated aspect to your tentmaking activity because it can pay off in more freed up time and income while you sleep. Automating online income can make your life easier all around for you, and allow you to be even more present to your ministry, and to your family. It is my intention to fill The Christian TentMaker Magazine with content to help you accomplish this outcome.
We need more men willing to step up in leadership in ministry and in their families. Fear of being unable to provide for their families is a major stumbling block to entry or to staying the course. Support the Christian TentMakers in your life. One way to do that is to share this FREE online subscription with them.
