Columbia International Hosting Patrick Lai and Business as Missions - Tentmaking Strategies for the 10/40 Window, January 14-18th
As many countries are closing their doors to traditional missionaries and missions strategies, the 21st Century missionary, needs to rethink missions. This course moves the student “outside the box” of contemporary mission strategies to study the ways and means of doing BAM. This course offers a complete holistic approach to missions. The course is a one week intensive study of tentmaking and the issues, problems, methodologies which every missionary and tentmaker needs to understand and know how to apply before moving overseas. The course will survey the essential issues of doing business and ministry. Factors will be studied and discussed which should be a part of the pre-field training, as well as part of the daily life and work of practicing tentmakers. Students can expect to learn the tools needed to do business as mission in the 10/40 Window.Patrick Lai will be teaching the course. By God’s grace, Patrick has started several profitable businesses and two churches among Muslims in Asia. He coaches BAM workers throughout the Muslim world and is the founder of the OPEN Network, a network of 150+ tentmakers. Patrick will be teaching from his personal experiences.
