The emergence of the new missionary sending countries spawned this timely and so biblical concept of missions from every people to every people. The Global South is on the move and brings to our attention a universal mandate. The proprietary nature of the mission of God is so utterly complete there is no possibility of escaping the scope of responsibility. In a broad swoop, we have all become both a missionary field and a missionary force.
Coupled with the globalized responsibility is a new opportunity. Perhaps, like never before, we can value the calling of God upon anyone in any vocation, to serve the Lord where they are placed. Just as the scheme of globalized missional calling implies universal responsibility, what Escobar calls "The Gospel from Everywhere to Everyone” (Escobar: 2003), it interjects universal opportunity. Though we will undoubtedly continue to send professional missionaries, people whose primary calling and vocation is to cross-cultural Christian ministry, we can now more fully appreciate the trans-migratory nature of life as a contemporary Son or daughter of God in the 21st Century. Simply put, you are God’s servant right now, where you are, and tomorrow, you will continue to be God’s servant no matter where He places you.
Now, let’s get down to brass tacks. Do you know where God is asking you to engage in the globalized mission of the Church? Are you prepared to do that task well? Do you have the resources and skill sets you will need to be successful in your service of the Master? Working Your Way to the Nations, a twelve week course sponsored on this site, is designed to provide you with the needed resources to make an informed decision. Illumination and guidance is what we pray the Holy Spirit will give you!

My wife would say she knows someone who drives like "Christopher Columbus." "How is that?" you might ask. "Well, he starts out not knowing where he is going. When he gets there he doesn't know where he is, and when he gets back, he doesn't know where he has been."

Wouldn't it be nice to know more about what God is doing in your life? Rising to the challenge of serving God in the marketplaces of the world doesn't have to be a "Columbian Navigation." You can explore the potential of tentmaking ministry while getting ready for the next steps to which God is calling you.

This website and the "Working Your Way to the Nations Course" are designed to provide resources for new navigators of the tentmaking world.

Join us! Take the course and begin to navigate your way to the nations. Use this site to make friends along the way!
