Funding Your Ministry: Lessons from Apostle Paul's Tentmaking Business

Ministers In The Marketplace Podcast | Online Ministry, Business side of Ministry, Prophetic Planning, Apostolic Mandate

In this episode of our series on funding your ministry, we delve into the life of Apostle Paul and explore how he utilised a specific model to support himself and his ministry when external support was unavailable.

Paul's journey highlights the importance of divine ideas and wisdom in finding unique ways to fund your ministry work. He understood that while financial partnerships and gifts were ideal, there were times he needed to rely on his skills and trades, such as tent-making, to sustain his mission.

We discuss how Paul's example teaches us that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to funding ministry. God may provide various methods and models tailored to individual circumstances, including leveraging personal skills or projects to generate income.

This episode encourages ministers to consider their own talents and divine guidance to find innovative ways to support their ministry, just as Apostle Paul did. Tune in for insights and inspiration on navigating the financial challenges of ministry in the marketplace.
