The Norway-based resource center for tentmaking named Tent has recently launched its international website at tentinternational.org.

This is an important step in serving the worldwide tentmaking movement in a better way, comments Tent’s managing director Steinar Opheim.

Tent (the word “tent” in Norwegian means “on fire”) was founded in 2000 focusing on recruiting and training Norwegian students, business people and professionals for work overseas.  Over the years the work has become more and more international. The GO Equipped tentmaking course that Global Opportunities and Tent have developed together, is now run annually in several nations. People from Tent have also invested much time and work in serving the fast-growing African tentmaking movement operating under the leadership of Tiowa Diarra who is based in Bamako, Mali.

Tent’s international website will provide resources for current tentmakers and tentmakers to-be. There is also a news section that will give the readers updated info on what is going on in the worldwide tentmaking movement.

– The tentmaking training we provide can be applied everywhere. We will still aim at keeping a focus on the unreached people groups in our communication. It is amazing to experience how Christian professionals and business people are welcome everywhere, even to nations where the religious freedom is very limited. 

Thus we believe that tentmakers is a key group God will use in reaching the whole world with the Gospel, says Opheim.
