Course materials - Course handbook & Course CD

You will receive a course handbook that has been updated and printed just in time for the course, with all sessions presentation notes, articles that complement the sessions and further resources. As this is an intensive course and we do not have the time to cover important issues as well as we would like, you will be receiving a course CD at the end of the course.

This course CD has all the presentations, more than 200 relevant articles to expand on what you have learned, video clips and tools for presenting tentmaking in your small group or church and much more.
Note that this CD is only available to those who attend our courses and is not for distribution elsewhere.

Do you enjoy seeing new things in Scripture?

At our US based courses, you will also receive teaching on how to do IBS.

Do you long for a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God, but seem lost when you
open your Bible? Do you read portions here and there, but forget what it said five minutes later? Are you frustrated with getting everyone else’s opinions about what the Bible says on a certain subject, and wondering what’s really true? Do you think it’s really possible to understand Scripture even if you aren’t a theologian?

Besides quality training in tentmaking, you will experience some powerful times in Bible
study to undergird what we are learning. A tentmaker often ends up serving in places where they have to know how to feed themselves.
