“Forewarned, forearmed; to be prepared is half the victory”
Miguel de Cervantes

To be forewarned is to be prepared.

There are many ways the Enemy defeats us in our quest to serve the King and extend his Kingdom. C. S. Lewis describes a number of the subtle traps the devil uses to steal our joy in Screwtape Letters. Though fictional, these stories point out real truths about the spiritual battles that take place outside of our view.

Learning from the experience of our past, and the past of others can help us avoid the same pain and defeat. Through decades of walking alongside thousands of tentmakers and debriefing them on their experiences, Global Intent has gleaned wisdom from the wealth of tentmakers experiences.

New Training Video Series

The video series, “Tentmaking Challenges” shares nuggets of wisdom in bite-sized 3-minute pieces. Veteran tentmaker and trainer Ari Rocklin shares these tales in the hope that the tentmaker will see these challenges when they come and be better prepared to deal with them.

Global Intent and Tent International have been working closely together since 2000. In the photo Global Intent’s director, Phill Sandahl, receives a t-shirt from Tent Nigeria’s director, Victor Agbonkpolor, at Tent International’s leader summit in September last year. 

International tentmaking bodies join forces

Two of the world’s leading resource centers on tentmaking are now joining forces. By collaborating tighter Global Intent and Tent International aim at empowering greater numbers of professionals and businesspeople to bring the gospel to new workplaces, regions and people groups.

“Our aim is helping people to become effective disciple makers in the marketplace. By working closer together, we are getting a more global network where professionals, businesspeople and students can get the training and support they need,” says Phill Sandahl, director of Global Intent.

The killing of one of Iran’s top leaders by US forces may cause a “tsunami” of problems for Christians in Iran. The turmoil may also create new opportunities for sharing the gospel, believes one of the most influential leaders among Iranian Christians.

“Christians in Iran react with uncertainty and anxiety to the liquidation of Iran’s military leader Qassem Soleimani. In case of escalation of hostilities and engagement in war, Iranian Christians will suffer more than any other segment of society,” says Lazarus Yeghnazar in an interview with Christianity Today.
