The expression bivocational work refers not to a church-planting method per se but to the way some missionaries and church planters financially sustain themselves. Bivocational workers, sometimes called tentmakers, have a secular job or business to supplement or fully finance their church-planting endeavors. They must be competent in both roles, integrate them and manage them along with family responsibilities. In this section of the lecture "Church Planter" Craig Ott: 

- looks at the advantages of tentmaking; 

- explains the disadvantages of  church planting with a bivocational team; 

- gives examples from his personal experience; 

- reads application questions which you may think about.
