• How much will it cost to be a member of your agency?
• How am I expected to pay for my costs of being a member?
• What happens if I make more money from my work or business than the agency typically allows in the missionary support budget?

• Do you have any programs in place that provide funding, mentoring, advice or other resources specifically for tentmakers?
• Can you connect me to one (or more) of your members who are tentmakers and can tell me about their experience?
• How do your teams work and how does my tentmaking fit in with the way you manage field ministry?
• Can I change teams if I get reassigned or my job opportunity needs to change to another one?
• How does the agency feel about a professional person not being able to join agency/team retreats due to job constraints?
