Synopsis

Most unreached people groups and non-Christian populations live in countries which do not welcome missionaries or issue missionary visas. Yet, many of these countries welcome management and professional personnel to work there. To reach these people for Christ, we need to challenge, mobilize, and deploy Christians with management and professional skills to serve in bivocational missions in these restricted access nations. This course examines the global need for bivocational mission workers and looks at the definitions and biblical basis of bivocational missions. Participants will be introduced to the journey towards bivocational missions for Christians, including exploring, preparing, and being equipped for it. This course will also discuss practical considerations of bivocational missions like church and financial support, cross-cultural and ethical issues, and life and ministry in restricted contexts.
