Tentmaking
Tentmaking, in general, refers to the activities of any Christian clergymember who, while functioning as a minister, receives little or no pay for his or her church work, and supports him or herself by additional, unrelated work. Specifically, tentmaking can also refer to a method of international Christian evangelism in which missionaries support themselves through external work, instead of receiving financial support from a church.
