Tentmaking Missions in history - Zinzendorf , Moravians the Tentmakers-

Johnny Chun / Executive Secretary of TI

   During the Reformation, Martin Luther upheld all of life to be a calling from God, including daily work.

In declaring the priesthood of all believers, he challenged the divide between the sacred/spiritual and the secular/

temporal. Reformed theology reshaped the view of vocation and work in the church and in missionary outreach.

   About 200 years after the Reformation, Zinzendorf, Nikolaus Ludwig von, the well known German nobleman,

Pietist leader, and theologian of Moravian missions Zinzendorf was born in Dresden. At the age of ten, following

tutoring at became a legal councilor at the Dresden court of the Saxon elector August the Strong in 1721.
   Zinzendorf established his manorial home at Berthelsdorf in eastern Germany. He was released from state service in 1727 and devoted his

life to leadership of the Moravians.
   Refugees from Bohemia and Moravia had arrived on his land beginning in 1722.  Together with German Priests, these people formed the nucleus of 

the new town Herrnhut and were the first members of the Moravian Church, which emerged as a separate denomination by the 1740s.

   When Germany sent the Moravian Missionaries into all the world, they went as tentmakers. As tentmaking businessmen, the Moravians took

their trades with them wherever they went. The practice and teaching of these trades contributed to the economic development of the people

they served, and provided frequent, natural contacts with them for outreach. Tentmaking was holistic and sustainable missions. It allowed the

small Moravian community to send hundreds of missionaries who were all self-supporting.

   Self-sufficient settlement congregations were established to enhance the spirituality of the inhabitants and to serve as homes for those who

traveled to conduct renewal activities within established state churches or as missionaries among those who had never heard the gospel.

   He was consecrated a bishop in 1737. His greatest contribution to missiology was his awakening within Protestantism of an awareness of 

cross-cultural mission as a fundamental task of the church.

What connects WhatsApp, Apple and Google to Lausanne?

[WhatsApp, Apple and Google can all be labeled as tech companies. 

The three giants do however also have a link to global missions.]

   Workplace ministry and business as mission were focus areas

when the Lausanne Movement one year ago. Leaders from gathered

from all over the world to the Global Workplace Forum in Manila.

The movement appointed a Workplace Ministry Advisory Board 

consisting of 65 faith-at-work leaders. The announcement came in 

an article marking the one-year anniversary of the forum.

[Steward and propel]

   “The advisory board serves to steward and propel the movement 

launched at GWF. The board members are from over 20 countries. 

Members are leaders from some of the world’s most influential 

companies like Apple, Johnson and Johnson, WhatsApp, and Google. 

Robert Harp who authored the article, shares the news. He is the 

Lausanne Movement’s catalyst for workplace ministry.

[Great move of God]

   He continues, “Billy Graham himself prophetically once said, ‘I believe that one of the next great moves of God is going to be through believers in 

the workplace.’ That ‘great move of God’ is happening now – all over the world, in cubicles and homes, from pasturelands to bustling cities, Christians 

in every occupation are awakening to the call that mission happens through everyone to everywhere. May it be so all the more!”

   To empower people the Lausanne movement has launched a new Global Classroom episode on workplace ministry.

   “We hope it will be used to equip and inform the global church toward furthering the integration of faith and work,” writes Robert Harp.
