An online seminar on tentmaking unites people from nearly all Latin-American nations. “We believe this seminar will help more Latin-Americans to take the Gospel to the world,” says Gustavo Borges, one of the main persons behind the online event.

The seminar is run every Thursday in February and covers basic information and encouraging insights for people who consider serving God through working, doing business or studying cross-culturally. 

“Many Christians from Latin America move abroad as expat workers, entrepreneurs and post-graduate students. The seminar gives us a great opportunity to share the tentmaking vision with such people. We want to help the Christians who go to be more intentional in sharing the Gospel,” says Gustavo Borges. He serves as the director for Tent Brazil. Among the others who have taken part in planning the seminar, are Mirka Peña, director of Tent Dominicana and Phill Sandahl, director of Global Intent. 

15 nations

More than 40 people from 15 different nations take part in this first run of the seminar that is named “GO Experience”. Until now, the seminar has only been run in Portuguese, mostly for Brazilians. The feedback from the participants has been very good. So was the response from the 40 partakers at the first Spanish version of GO Experience.
