Working Abroad with Purpose

“God created us to do good work and called us to make disciples. Too often we see those two things competing for our loyalty unnecessarily. Glenn invites us to see the ways vocation and mission meet authentically and beautifully.”


—Ruth D. Hubbard, Vice President, Urbana, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA





“Glenn Decker’s years of experience overseas and his insightful and sometimes amusing personal stories make reading Working Abroad with Purpose: The Way of a Tentmaker not only informative but also delightful. This is a must-read for those working as tentmakers. For many, the biblical survey of tentmaking will be new and inspiring. This book will be an encouragement to those facing the difficult task of learning a new language. The emphasis on hospitality is surely what is needed to make headway into new and challenging cross-cultural settings.”


—Chester Wood, Dean of PhD Programs (retired). Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology/Africa International University





“Working Abroad With Purpose is a must read for everyone—not just those contemplating overseas work but for the entire church. Glenn Deckert is a supremely dedicated Christ follower whose writing only scratches the surface of who he is.”


—Wayne Shabaz, president, CDAWN Learning
