Bi-vocational (“bivoc”) missions has emerged as a key means for Singapore’s engagement in missions worldwide, and especially in Creative Access Nations around the region. Today, bivoc missions broadly encompasses tentmaking, various forms of Business-as-Missions, and entrepreneurship.

The Singapore church, via Antioch21, has recently launched a bivoc missions primer to provide guidance for goers and churches toward a shared narrative for supporting and sustaining bivoc missions and missionaries sent from Singapore. ME222 is thus timely.

Whether you are considering bivoc missions, or being a sender or supporter, or just coming to learn, you will be brought into an ongoing conversation to discover the opportunities and challenges of bivoc missions. We invite you to explore your own part in it.

Sessions include:

  • History & Theology of Bivoc Missions
  • Preparing Carefully, with Dr Luke Tan
  • Bivoc Professionals, with Mr Kua Wee Seng
  • Bivoc Entrepreneurship, with Ps Joseph Keh
  • Ministry, Evangelism and Small Groups, with Ps Yeoh Seng Eng
  • Sustaining Bivoc Ministry in the Field, with Ps Yeoh Seng Eng
  • Sending and Supporting Policies for Bivoc Missions
