A believer who is doing tentmaking is basically supporting himself or herself by working full-time in the marketplace with their skills and education, instead of receiving financial support.  The apostle Paul supported himself by making tents while living and doing his ministry (Act 18:3).  

  

If you have professional skill, training or/and work experience you can be involved in God’s mission through your job and areas of expertise to impact the community you live and work in.
