개인 사역자 Explanation: In the Korean Bible, it is called "업" or "직업", but the translation is not quite right. According to what a tentmaker does, it should be "개인 사역자" in Korean. |

peer agreement (net): +1자비량 선교사 (Tent maker) Explanation: The term tentmaker comes from the mission of Paul. He deliberately decided not to accept assistance from others but worked as a tent maker to support himself while he conducted his missionary work. Therefore, in the modern age, anyone who conducts self-funded missionary work is referred to as a tent-maker. 선교사 (seon-gyo-sa) is the common term for missionary. 자비량 (ja-bi-rylang) means providing your own food and other necessary items. |
