"As chair of the EFC Global Mission Roundtable I am delighted to affirm the GMR's ongoing relationship with the Canadian Tentmaking Network. We are pleased that Ari Rocklin will give leadership to the GMR Tentmaking Track in conjunction with his role at CTN.  In its capacity as a hub for collaborative initiatives, the GMR recognizes the autonomous nature of CTN and is content to partner together in order to work towards significant strategic partnerships in Canada and around the world."

A Study Guide - Working Your Way to the Nations:
A Guide to Effective Tentmaking
InterVarsity Press, 1997
LIBRARY MISSIONS

Tentmaking is a subject of strategic importance to world evangelization. The concept is biblical, historical precedents abound, and today’s missionary context demands it. This book will fill a gap in the area since it provides a set of essays on effective tentmaking by experienced and knowledgeable missions specialists from around the world. Its concerns are practical but what makes this book doubly useful is the fact that it is designed as a study text either for individual or group use.
Anyone contemplating the tentmaking role would be well advised to check out this book. Edited by Jonathan Lewis, Wm Carey Library, 1993, 193pp (Source: Mission Books)
