Gospel Fellowship Association began a tentmaking program to direct committed Christian professionals to work and ministry on foreign fields. The mission of the tentmaker is to support, encourage, be an example, and help develop a gospel ministry through evangelism, Bible studies, and, in some cases, formal Bible teaching. In some situations, the tentmaker will help pioneer the gospel ministry in creative access nations.
