The purpose of Worldwide Tentmakers, Inc. is to assist local churches in the promotion, preparation, and placement of self-supporting witnesses worldwide.  A tentmaker is a dedicated Christian man or woman living and working under non-religious auspices for the express purpose of using their secular position to witness worldwide for Jesus Christ.

This biblical strategy was used by the Apostle Paul and his co-laborers, Priscilla and Aquila, who made tents to pay expenses while their primary goal was to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Acts 18:3).
